“It’s well-known that Kim Kardashian enjoys sharing photos on social media that showcase her family’s activities.”

Occasionally, we get to see pictures of young Kim Kardashian, thanks to her and her famous relatives posting them online. We can’t get enough of these nostalgic glimpses, especially since they prove that she was always a natural beauty, even if she has undergone some cosmetic enhancements over the years—those thin eyebrows from the 1990s were a trend no one, including Kim, could escape.

Kim and her family gained fame when their hit show Keeping Up with the Kardashians premiered on E! in 2007. However, Kim first caught public attention as Paris Hilton’s stylist, attending various red carpet events with her. She briefly dated Nick Lachey after his split from Jessica Simpson, but Lachey later claimed that Kim used their relationship for publicity by alerting the paparazzi to their outings.

Since the debut of KUWTK, Kim has experienced numerous significant moments in both 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 launched the mobile game Kim Kardashian: Hollywood in 2014 and released a selfie book titled Selfish in 2015. Additionally, she welcomed her first child, a daughter named North West, in June 2013, married Kanye West in May 2014, and planned to start law school in 2019.

Fast forward to 2022, and things have changed considerably. Kim remains protective of her privacy, sharing only what she chooses on social media—though it still seems to be quite a lot! As the founder of successful brands like Skims and Skkn by Kim, as well as 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 and is now reportedly worth $1.8 billion. However, we still love revisiting her past to see what she and the other Kardashian Jenners looked like back then!

Kim has many pictures from her youth because, believe it or not, the entire Kardashian family enjoyed documenting their lives. For this, we will always be grateful. Here are some of our favorite photos of a young Kim Kardashian:

We can imagine Kim’s parents recognizing her future in the spotlight—just look at how the camera loves her and how much she enjoys it in this photo from when she was four years old.

This picture of Kim at age 11 shows her early interest in beauty trends. Unfortunately, during that time, very thin eyebrows were in vogue, which she likely looks back on with some regret now (and she’s not alone!). Still, we love her baby hairs and wish she would keep them.

Kim began documenting her life at a young age, so it’s no surprise to see this casual photoshoot in her car as a teenager. In the picture, she sports dark, straight hair, thin eyebrows (thanks to past beauty trends!), and a glossy, full pout.

Everything about this image screams 1990s—from Kim’s strapless white dress to her knee-high boots and hair accessories, we love it all! Even if Kim and Kourtney wouldn’t choose to replicate this look in 2022, we appreciate their eye makeup from that time.

Kim shared this nostalgic photo of herself with a family friend, Stephanie Schiller, who passed away in 2010. In the picture, Kim wears a simple black T-shirt with a deep neckline and what appears to be lighter brown hair with highlights. Her face looks fresh and makeup-free, embodying the essence of the nineties!

While many people might hide or even destroy old yearbook photos, Kim has no such concerns, as evidenced by this lovely 7th-grade picture. She looks radiant with her natural glow and trendy brown hair featuring a few light highlights. When Kim first shared this throwback on Instagram, Kourtney humorously commented, “You put cream bleach on your hand and ran it through your hair the day before school started to get that cool orange streak.” Although her face may have changed a bit over the years due to rumors of plastic surgery, it’s undeniable that she was beautiful to begin with!

Earlier this year, Kim posted a picture from 1996 of herself enjoying an ice cream cone. Dressed in a simple white T-shirt and sporting messy hair, she couldn’t appear more genuine and relatable.

Kim has always had a taste for luxury, as shown in this photo of her striking a pose by the pool while flaunting her Cartier bracelet.

In February 2019, Kim shared a touching throwback photo on what would have been her late father Robert Kardashian’s birthday. The image was from her 16th birthday when he surprised her with her first car. Kim captioned it, “This was my 16th birthday, and my dad surprised me with my first car! I really wish you were here so we could make more memories together. We all miss you and cherish you today.” We adore these innocent, candid moments captured before we began watching “Keeping Up with the Kardashians.”

Another throwback from Kim’s teenage years features her older sister Kourtney, who has adorable pigtails. In January 2021, Kim posted this nostalgic image on Instagram with the caption, “It’s the brows for me…” We appreciate her ability to poke fun at herself, especially since she wasn’t the only one over-tweezing in the 1990s and early 2000s.
