Kylie Jenner Reflects on the Birth of ‘King Kylie’ at Her Runway Debut

Kylie Jenner vividly recalls the moment her iconic ‘King Kylie’ era took flight.

In a recent session with Vogue’s Life in Looks, the 28-year-old reality star and entrepreneur flipped through photos highlighting some of her most striking fashion moments. Among them, she identified the birth of ‘King Kylie,’ when her love affair with vibrant hair colors first began.

\\”My first runway show. It was for Avril Lavigne’s clothing line at the time,\\” the Kylie Cosmetics CEO remarked about her 2011 debut during her teenage years. The moment marked the genesis of one of her most recognizable style phases. The event, the Abbey Dawn by Avril Lavigne Fashion Show, took place on September 12, 2011.

This feels like a lifetime ago, but I love [it] to this day. I remember I wasn’t nervous at all; I was so confident.

Jenner reminisced about striding down the runway in a black mini dress with a chic lace top and a tulle flair at the waist. Her look was completed with short, polished black nails and smoky black eyeliner.

Kylie Jenner’s Family and Memories

Jenner shared more about the origins of her colorful hairstyle fascination, specifically during this 2011 runway show.

I loved my pink tips. This probably started honestly, my love for colored hair, because it wasn’t real hair dye. They put, like, chalk in my hair or something, and I was obsessed.

Recalling the runway experience, she mentioned capturing moments where she appeared on video in another outfit, making rockstar hand gestures and sticking her tongue out as her family cheered her on. \\”This is like the beginning of King Kylie,\\” she added, emphasizing her seamless transformation into a trendsetting icon.

A Decade of Kylie Cosmetics

Fast forward to today, as the Khy CEO celebrates Kylie Cosmetics’ 10-year anniversary, she has revived her vibrant ‘King Kylie’ aesthetic. Known for bold wigs and striking makeup, Jenner honored the milestone with a new collection launch.

I changed my hair color like once a week and cut my hair off and then put a wig on or put extensions in. It’s just a part of who I am…
