14 photos of a young Kim Kardashian that prove she’s always been a style and beauty icon

Her teenage eyeshadow experimentation was particularly chic.

Love her or hate her, you’d struggle to argue that Kim Kardashian West isn’t a modern icon. From her early days as Paris Hilton’s best friend and a rising reality star, clad in hot pink mini dresses and kitten heels, to her current-day status as vintage fashion champion and designer muse, Kardashian West has always been at the forefront of the era’s trends, for better or for worse.

However, the 38-year-old arguably did some of her best style work in the ’90s, before she was the global celebrity she is today.

The reality star-turned-mogul is a well-known fan of the ‘throwback’ Instagram post and thus, there are plenty of remnants from her teen years to trawl through on the internet.

From butterfly clips to leather jackets, here are Kardashian West’s best fashion and beauty moments from her early days.
