10 Looks Only Kendall Jenner Could Pull Off (On The Runway Or In The Streets)

Life

Kendall Jenner has dethroned the queen. Whether you’re interested in the fashion world or not, it’s truly incredible that Kendall surpassed the uber-established Gisele Bundchen in earnings last year, $22 million to $17 million. Gisele has been the highest-grossing model for nearly a decade. Her face is recognized across the globe. The fact that Jenner, 22, has outdone Bundchen, 37, just goes to show that there’s been a changing of the guard and that the next generation has arrived.

Not only did Jenner outrank Gisele in money, but she beat her in popularity as well. On Instagram, Gisele has 14 million followers, while Kendall has 87 million. Kendall and the rest of her sisters are hounded by the paparazzi. There are so many photos taken of Kendall that it was difficult to whittle them down.

However, this is not an article about Gisele vs Kendall. This is a piece about Kendall vs Herself. We’ll explore the formal and casual side of her fashion sense—which catwalk styles inspired her and which ones totally failed. While the mighty influences of wealth, career, fame, and family all mix, when will our new model queen look her best?

10. Runway: High Boots

Sometimes fashion designers can fixate on a certain accessory. They’ll do a line inspired by belts or, in this case, boots. These brown boots go all the way up the leg, and there is no holding back. This designer is Givenchy, from the Paris Fashion Week show. Not sure what is going on with the eyebrows. We’ve seen this muted-brow look many times on the runway before, and it never is very flattering. Of course, a good model is never supposed to be a part of the picture. They are only there as a blank canvas to accentuate the design of the fabric. Then, after all that blending in, the dude in the white Nebraska t-shirt provides his own distraction. Surely, the designer just loved that dude.

9. Street: High Boots

So, Kendall took the high-boots idea and ran with it. And the effect is pretty nice. Here we have an otherwise blah outfit, right? Oh, big deal, a white tank top and some old jeans. How are you supposed to wear that and still hold the reputation of the world’s best model? The answer is simple: you pair the look with some outrageous boots. Those are $10,000 boots by Saint Laurent. That’s some of the nicest footwear on the planet. What a nice contrast to her thin svelte stomach. Did Kendall showed off some midriff last winter just to make her sisters jealous? Kylie and Kim were both pregnant at the time. Wow, just look at the paparazzi scrambling for a shot.
