40 Times Kendall Jenner Proved She Was Destined For Runway Greatness

Kendall makes her red carpet debut with the clan (Bruce, Kris, and Kylie). This was our first glimpse of her bright, fresh skin and superphotogenic features.

Even as a child, Kendall knew how to pout for the camera. We love how her brooding stare juxtaposes her cheerleader ponytail.

10 years before she rocked pigtail braids at Coachella, Kendall was sporting the style (with a rocker leather jacket, no less!) as a tween.

The Kardashian-Jenner family hit the step-and-repeat looking like a trio of princesses. While Kylie took on Snow White, and Kim gave us her best sexy Cinderella impression, Kendall went for Mulan-chic. We dig the big satin headband atop her glossy strands.

With Kylie by her side, Kendall showed off some serious bedhead while giving fierce face.

To become the glamazon she is today, Kendall needed braces in her early days. A megawatt smize was just months away!

What could be better than Kendall and Kim lounging poolside...?

Even at an early age, Kendall understood the importance of candlelit eyes and contouring.

She appropriately worked the teen-movie red carpet with stunning orange-copper eye shadow that we'd still like to copy today. Shall we say she was just ahead of her time?

Before she became the sultry Kendall we know today, she looked positively darling at fashion events with romantic waves and youthfully flushed cheeks.

And Kendall emerged as a bombshell with glowing, bronzed skin, voluminous Victoria's Secret-model waves, and lush eyelashes. Our little lady had arrived!

Just three years ago Kendall was strutting down the catwalk with a high-fashion updo and illuminated skin.

This extralong fishtail was more proof that Kendall is a true beauty trendsetter.

A messy topknot, elongated winged eyeliner, and porcelain skin were a fresh change from her signature sexy look.

Who are you calling a reality star? Kendall proved she has what it takes to look Old Hollywood glam with a chic updo and red lips.

To celebrate her Seventeen magazine cover, Kendall wore her hair in kinky curls, tossed over to one side. We also see she hadn't discovered spray tans just yet. Oh the innocence!

Here's the bronzed goddess we know and love! For Fashion's Night Out in LA, Kendall rocked gilded eye shadow, highlighted cheeks, and metallic lips.

She looked flawless once again in her early runway days with a big ballerina bun and heavy kohl eye shadow.

And the over-the-shoulder red carpet pose is born! Tossing her '70s-style mane over her shoulder, Kendall puckered her ruby lips for the camera.

She finally made her mark on the fashion scene when she walked in the Marc Jacobs show with bleached eyebrows, a futuristic bob wig, and no bra.

Electric blue eyeliner made Kendall's eyes pop on the catwalk.

Kendall looked sophisticated with bleached brows (again!) and supercontoured cheeks at the Givenchy show.

Kendall solidified her spot with the fashion elite when she walked in this buzzed-about Chanel show, which was set in a luxe supermarket setting.

Kendall showed off her edgier style (a nose ring and turban!) at this party held near the Coachella festival.

It's true! Kendall loves the camera, and the camera loves her back — especially when she's sporting her signature smoky eye makeup.

A confident Kendall poses on the step-and-repeat in a barely there top that allowed her long sleek strands and perfectly tanned skin to steal the spotlight.

A punk hairdo and bold brows (finally!) looked of the moment on Kendall at the Chanel show.

Wet, slicked-back strands and ultralong lashes looked poolside-posh on Kendall.

Remember when she had braces? Now Kendall can flash this jaw-dropping smile.

Temporary star tattoos at Tommy Hilfiger accentuated Kendall's creamy skin.

Kendall was chosen for the DVF Fashion Week show, which included top names like Naomi Campbell. Her tousled hair and smudged eye makeup looked night-out chic.

At Donna Karan, Kendall strutted down the catwalk with a center-parted chignon and nude lips.

Like any classic catwalker, Kendall can give the Old Hollywood-glam red lip a modern feel with runway-inspired, slicked-back hair.

She put the fire into this smoky-eye look.

She's got that raised-eyebrow look down, which is modeling 101.
