The dramatic transformations of the Kardashian family 12 years since the launch of their reality show – from Kim K to Kylie Jenner
Keeping Up With the Kardashians is now in its 16th series, here's how far the 'klan' has come...
WE HAVE been keeping up with the Kardashians for over a decade now with the sixteenth series of the show kicking off in the States last night.
And it’s fair to say that the world’s most talked about family has come a long way since they first hit our screens back in 2007. Here we take a look at how they’ve changed.
Kim
Easily the most famous member of the 'klan', Kim Kardashian used to be best known as Paris Hilton’s bff.
She has since abandoned her penchant for hoop earrings and halter-necks for more daring fashion pieces, most notably skin tight PVC.
She became the poster girl for contouring, with her sheeny lipgloss days now well and truly behind her.
The most dramatic change of course is the fact the Kim went from a Kardashian to a Kardashian-West when she married Kanye in 2014.
She is now mum to North, five, Saint, three and Chicago, 14 months and has a fourth baby on the way via surrogate.
Kourtney
Like Kim, Kourtney was a fan of the halter neck top and hooped earrings combo and has followed suit with a far sleeker style.
The first series of the reality show saw a 27-year-old Kourtney introducing her then 24-yer-old boyfriend Scott Disick.
The couple went on to have three children together but later split amid cheating allegations in 2017.
And despite the turbulent end to the relationship, the former couple have remained friends for the sake of their children.
Meanwhile the mum-of-three, 39, barely seems to have aged a day.
Religiously sticking to an organic diet has enabled the star to keep her figure trim, although she has admitted to having breast enhancement surgery.
Khloe
Khloe, 34, was a fresh-faced 22 when the pilot episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians aired.
Since then she has gone through an incredible weight loss transformation, working out up to five times a week.
Since shedding the pounds, Khloe regularly flaunts her enviable figure in revealing outfits.
It has been a somewhat challenging year for the star who split from Tristan Thompson, the father of her daughter True, after he cheated on her with Kylie Jenner’s former best friend Jordyn Woods.
However, Khloe has come away with her head held high thanks to the support of the Kardashian klan.
Kendall
Fresh-faced Kendall was just 13 when she first appeared in KUWTK.
It didn’t take long for the pretty teen to land herself a modelling contract, where she’s raked in the cash by collaborating with a number of different high-end brands and companies.
After being voted by GQ as the "coolest person in the world" in 2015, stylish Kendall has taken the fashion industry by storm.
According to Forbes, she was one of the highest paid models in the world in 2016, earning upwards of $7million thanks to her work with brands including Victoria's Secret, Chanel and Calvin Klein.
However, her modelling career famously landed her in hot water in 2017 when she starred in a £40 million Pepsi advert which was described as "tasteless" and "tone deaf" as it piggy backed on the Black Lives Matter and the Women’s March to flog fizzy drinks.
The ad was pulled almost immediately and Kendall admitted she "felt bad" about the fiasco in an episode of KUWTK.
Kylie
The family's youngest daughter, who was just 9 when she first appeared on the show, Kylie has become known for her social media presence.
She has become a make-up mogul since she launched her own make-up brand, Kylie Cosmetics, and last year was named the youngest self-made billionaire of all time.
Despite her drastic change in appearance, she has only ever admitted to having lip fillers, and was forced to furiously deny she had cheek or jaw surgery, bum implants or a boob job in October 2016.
Two years later she revealed that she’d had her lip fillers removed sharing a snap of her new pout captioning it “I got rid of all my filler” but admitted in a later Instagram story that she had them "touched up".
Kylie also became a mother for the first time last year when she and Travis Scott welcomed Stormi Webster in February.
Kris
Momager Kris Jenner has put her name to a number of exciting projects.

Not only does she have her own talk show, she’s also released her own cookbooks and QVC fashion collection since the success of the show.
She is also still in charge of all of her children's careers, which has helped her build a £45 million fortune.
She is now a grandmother-of-nine, but at the age of 63, she hardly looks old enough to have six grown up children.
Elsewhere, we applaud the stars who prove age is no barrier to turning heads following latex-clad Jennifer Aniston's jaw-dropping fashion shoot age 50.
