Kendall Jenner may be one of the most in-demand models of the moment, but there was a time when she was simply known as “Kim Kardashian’s kid sister.” Over the past 15 years, though, Jenner has proven she’s a household name herself, making headlines from both the catwalk and the red carpet. From completely see-through dresses to twinning moments with her sister, Kylie, Kendall has had more red carpet showstoppers than one can count. So, in honor of the model’s 29th birthday, let’s take a look back at Kendall’s best red carpet moments throughout the last decade and a half.

Thus, the model claimed she was the first person to ever wear it, but Internet sleuths pointed out that Winona Ryder looked to have donned the design in a 1999 issue of Flaunt Magazine. A source told E! News Ryder’s dress was a replica, but the actress herself commented on the situation to Harper’s Bazaar in July 2024. “I did wear it,” she said of the dress. “I have pictures.”
