If you can barely remember a time before Kendall Jenner, you're not alone. At just 19 years old, the gorgeous brunette's already a fashion icon, strutting her stuff on major runways [1], starring in killer campaigns [2], and having the most "liked" photo on Instagram [3] — ever.

So we did our homework, the results of which may surprise you. Was this star stylish from day one? Read on to find out.
