It’s well-known that Kim Kardashian enjoys sharing photos on social media that showcase her family’s ventures. Sometimes, we even get to see throwback pictures of a young Kim Kardashian, thanks to the images posted by her and other family members. These glimpses into her past always remind us of her natural beauty, despite any cosmetic work she may have had over the years. Even with the thin eyebrows that were trendy in the 1990s, Kim couldn’t escape them.
Kim and her family rose to fame with their hit show Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which premiered on E! in 2007. However, Kim first gained attention as Paris Hilton’s stylist and made appearances at various red carpet events with her. Kim briefly dated Nick Lachey after his breakup with Jessica Simpson, and Lachey has since claimed that Kim used him for publicity by tipping off paparazzi.
Since the launch of KUWTK, Kim has had numerous significant moments in her personal life and career, including spin-off shows like Kourtney and Kim Take Miami (2009–2013) and Kourtney and Kim Take New York (2011–2012). She also named a mobile game Kim Kardashian: Hollywood in 2014 and published a selfie book titled Selfish in 2015. In June 2013, she gave birth to her first child, a daughter named North West. Kim married Kanye West in May 2014, and in 2019, she planned to start law school.
By 2022, things had changed significantly. Kim still values her privacy and only shares what she chooses on social media. As the creator of successful brands like Skims and Skn by Kim, and a star on her family’s new Hulu reality show The Kardashians (now in its second season), she has come a long way from her days as Paris Hilton’s stylist. Kim is now reportedly worth $1.8 billion. Despite this, we still enjoy looking back at her past and seeing how her style and looks have evolved.
Kim has shared many photos from her younger years, as the Kardashian family enjoyed documenting their lives. Here are some of our favorite throwback images of a young Kim Kardashian:
Her parents likely knew she was destined for a life in the spotlight, given how much the camera loved her from an early age. This photo of Kim at age four shows her love for the camera, and her enthusiasm is evident.
This photo of Kim at eleven highlights her early interest in beauty trends. Unfortunately, the very thin eyebrows that were popular at the time are something she might regret now. Nonetheless, we love seeing her early hairstyles and wish she had kept them.
Kim documented everything she did as a teenager, so it’s no surprise to see random photos like this one of her in a car. Her dark, straight hair, thin eyebrows, and glossy pout all scream the 1990s.
Everything about this photo—from Kim’s strapless white dress and knee-high boots to her hair accessories—screams 1990s. Even if Kim and Kourtney wouldn’t want to recreate this look in 2022, we love how they did their eye makeup back then.
Kim shared this photo of herself eating an ice cream cone from 1996 earlier this year. In a simple white T-shirt with messy hair, she looks incredibly genuine and down-to-earth.
Kim has always had a taste for luxury, as shown by this striking photo of her posing by a pool and showcasing her Cartier bracelet.
In February 2019, Kim posted a sweet throwback photo in honor of what would have been her late father Robert Kardashian’s birthday. The picture, taken on her sixteenth birthday, shows Robert gifting her a car, and Kim shared a heartfelt message on Instagram, expressing her wish that he were still here to make more memories with her.
Another throwback photo from Kim’s teenage years shows her with her older sister Kourtney, complete with cute pigtails. In January 2021, Kim posted this photo on Instagram with the caption “It’s the brows for me…” We love that she can laugh at herself, especially since she wasn’t the only one using tweezers in the 1990s and early 2000s.
