We’ve seen a lot of style evolution over the years with Kim Kardashian, some good, some great and then some not-so great. But in reality, any celebrity that came up during the height of the early aughts is bound to have some degree of fashion faux pas in their past. But over the recent years, Kim has really stepped up her fashion game and has made a statement with her looks, especially in just the last few months.
As fashion and social media culture developed over the years, so hasn’t Kardashian’s approach to style. We’ve seen her go from the cocktail and bodycon dresses of the early 2000s to the chic Balenciaga ensembles she sports today.
So for her 41st birthday, GRAZIA has decided to put together a list of some of Kardashian’s best looks over the years, and we’ll be reaching deep into the archives for this one, so be prepared for some #throwbacks on this Thursday.
