The End of a Reality Era: A Look Back at the Kardashian-Jenners Over the Years

It's sad, but true: After 20 seasons, and more than a decade on the air, next year, Keeping Up With the Kardashians will officially come to an end. So much has changed since the show first premiered in 2007, and it would have been impossible to predict how this family would have become a household name so quickly — or the kind of Hollywood staying power these women would have across so many different industries. What they've managed to do has been so impressive, and through the years, they've stuck together, even though they've all changed so much.

Of course, Kylie Jenner and Kendall Jenner are two members of the family who have changed the most, since they were so young when the show first began filming. But that doesn't mean their older sisters haven't changed, too, and in such big ways.

Walking down memory lane with the Kardashian-Jenner's looks through the years is a bit crazy as they've all changed, and have evolved in many ways. It's hard to say goodbye to a reality TV staple, but we can't wait to see what the future holds for this entertaining family.

Kim Kardashian: 2007

This photo was taken at a party in Miami Beach in November 2007 — just one month after the first season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians premiered on E! At this point, Kim probably had no idea what the future had in store for her. Even if she had a hunch she would become a huge reality star, the rest would probably shock her.

Kim Kardashian: 2008

A year later, Kim was sporting a totally different look with some straight bangs, and whoa, she looks so much like mom Kris Jenner here! Kim has worn many a gold dress to an event since then, but something tells us that in 2020, she probably wouldn't be jumping at the chance to go to an award show dedicated to video games — unless Kim Kardashian Hollywood was being honored, of course.

Kourtney Kardashian: 2008

Here's Kourtney in 2008: much younger, maybe a little less wise, before she had her three children, and while she was still happily dating Scott Disick — and was all about attending Hollywood parties with her sisters. These days, Kourt's much more of a homebody and loves spending her night hanging out with Mason, Penelope, and Reign, but she looked pretty good!

Khloé Kardashian: 2008

Khloé's style has changed so much over the years, that going all the way back to 2008, she's practically unrecognizable! We simply can't imagine her wearing a dress like this today — or even this color — but we definitely appreciate younger Khloé for how much fun, and how hilarious she really was. After all, she was only 24 when this photo was taken.

Kendall & Kylie Jenner: 2010

The biggest transformations of all have been Kylie and Kendall's — probably because they were still so young when KUWTK started filming! They were in their early teens when this photo was taken at the Easy A premiere in 2010, and so much has changed for both of them since then. Kylie is a makeup mogul, and Kendall Jenner is a literal supermodel. Who saw that coming?!

Kim Kardashian: 2012

By 2012, Kim's life as we know it now was beginning to take shape. She was dating Kanye West, the man who she would eventually marry, and she was less than a year away from giving birth to North, her first child. There were still plenty of surprises in her future, of course (this photo was taken eight years ago), and Kim looks pretty different here.

Kourtney Kardashian: 2012

At this point, Kourtney was officially in mom mode. Mason and Penelope had both been born when this photo was taken, and Kourt and her sisters were launching their line of clothes for Sears department stores. (Remember that?) It was a big, transitional time for the sisters, who still had their DASH stores in Miami, Calabasas, and New York (RIP).

Khloé Kardashian: 2012

Is it just us, or is Khloé Kardashian one of the sisters who has changed most of all in the family? This is just another one of these outfits that we can't see the Khloé we know and love today wearing in 2020, and here she is, wearing it to the X-Factor premiere. Then again, this was a totally different stage in her life, too. At this point, Khloé was still married to NBA player Lamar Odom.

Kendall & Kylie Jenner: 2013

In 2013, Kendall was 18, while Kylie was 16, and they both had so much going for them, including their Kendall & Kylie line of clothing at PacSun. This was when they were still doing most things together and before they branched off to start their individual careers, but they were still very much kids here.

So sweet.

Kim Kardashian: 2015

Here's Kim in 2015, going for a much darker look than what she would have chosen in the beginning of her career and time in the spotlight. She was pregnant with Saint at the time, and her world was about to change in a major way. Then again, so was North's, being that she didn't exactly get along with her little brother for a while. (LOL.)

Kourtney Kardashian: 2015

The Kourtney Kardashian of 2016 looks a lot like the Kourtney of 2020. We could totally see her wearing this look to an event today, even though she tends to avoid the spotlight as much as possible these days in favor of working on her lifestyle site, Poosh, and spending as much time as she can with her kids at home.

That hair!

Khloé Kardashian: 2015

At this point, Khloé was starting to make a major transformation. She was getting super into fitness and hitting the gym hard, making healthy living a huge part of her life (and her personal brand). She was also spending a lot more time as a blonde, which we definitely don't hate. No wonder that's a look she's kept through the years!

Kendall Jenner: 2016

The year 2016 really saw Kendall hitting her stride. She was at full-fledged supermodel status, even walking the runway at the Victoria's Secret fashion show. Her career was truly taking off, independent from her sisters and the Kardashian brand — although that certainly helped — and most of what Kendall was doing, she was doing on her own.

Kim Kardashian: 2016

For Kim, 2016 was an unforgettable year — and not in a good way. This is the year she was robbed at gunpoint in her apartment in Paris, when she was in the city for Fashion Week. Needless to say, this changed so much about Kim forever — from the types of things she'd share on social media, to the way she would dress and accessorize.

Kylie Jenner: 2016

By this point, Kylie Jenner was pretty much unrecognizable from the kid we knew on KUWTK. Kylie Cosmetics was thriving, her relationship with Tyga was constantly making headlines — as was just about everything Kylie did herself — and this lady went blond in a big way. This is when Kylie's fame was really blowing up, and it hasn't shown any signs of slowing down since.

Khloé Kardashian: 2016

In 2016, everything seemed to be coming up Khloé. She was kicking serious butt in the gym, and she had just started her relationship with Tristan Thompson — something that would set her life onto a roller-coaster of ups and downs. Still, we can't argue that this happened to be one of Khloé's best looks yet.

Kourtney Kardashian: 2016

This is a solid example of quintessential Kourtney style. The T-shirt under the dress is so her in such a carefree way, especially with the long hair flowing free. Not much has changed about Kourtney's look between then and now, and a whole four years have passed. This mom of three hasn't aged a bit since then!

2018 Family Togetherness

It's rare that we get to see the whole gang together anymore, but in 2018, everyone was able to gather in one place for a pretty big celebration: Kylie's 21st birthday! At that point, Kylie was already a mom to Stormi, and they made sure to party it up right, with all of her sisters pretending they were turning 21 all over again.

Celebrating Kris Jenner in 2019

This group photo was taken from Kris' birthday party in 2019, and it really shows how all of the Kardashian-Jenner ladies have grown and changed over the years. Kris has to be so proud of all of her daughters now that they're all grown up — and her son, Rob Kardashian, even though he doesn't happen to be in the photo this time around.

The Kardashian-Jenners 2020

It's officially been more than a decade since we were first introduced to this family on KUWTK, and while so much has changed since then, so much has stayed the same — like their love for each other. Hopefully, we'll continue getting all the updates on this fam and their relationships on social media, because we can't wait to watch them (and their adorable kids) keep changing over the years.
