King Kylie
CLEO Singapore|August 2017

There have been so many headlines about Kylie Jenner, we can’t come up with an original one; which really says a lot about our obsession with her…

King Kylie

Go on, admit it, you have an opinion on Kylie Jenner. You love her. You hate her. You love her lip kit. You don’t understand why she’s famous. You’re not sure why she’s on our cover. You’re not sure why it took us so long.

Isn’t it weird that we all have an opinion on the youngest of the Kardashians/Jenners and yet, of all of the clan, we probably know the least about her?

She doesn’t play out her relationships on the show, and her Instagram and Snapchat are carefully curated; even she’s admitted that.

Growing up under the heat of the media spotlight has made her savvy. In a lot of ways, her trajectory resembles that of the Olsen Twins, who also became stars at the age of nine; churning out TV shows all through their teens and developing into fashion icons. There’s something about watching someone through their (famous-person version of) awkward years that makes you feel like you grew up with them; that you know them more intimately than you really do.

The pre-game

Until she was nine, Kylie Jenner was just your average(ish) kid. Her dad, then known as Bruce Jenner, was famous enough that she and Kendall got to attend the occasional movie premiere. Her mum, Kris, made them dress in matching outfits for their Christmas cards every year. She had her first kiss with no one around but her then-best friend Zoe.

“He was one of the hot ones in fourth grade, and yeah, I definitely had a crush on him. Zoe was like, ‘Just do it!’ It was an innocent peck. Right on the lips. And it was funny and awkward, probably like every other first kiss,” Kylie told Allure in July 2016.

Then came Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Kylie says she agreed to be a part of the show at the time – but of course, none of them believed it would become the juggernaut that it did.
