A Khloe Kardashian Style Retro: See Her Go From Bodycon Queen To Bombshell Fashionista
Being a middle sister can be a real challenge, especially when you're wedged between paparazzi princess (and wife of Kanye West) Kim Kardashian and equally famous younger sisters like blossoming model Kendall and Instagram queen Kylie Jenner. And though her gaggle of famous siblings tends to get more attention than Khloe (at least in the fashion world), I for one haven't let the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star's dramatic style evolution go by unnoticed. In fact, of all the ladies in the Kardashian/Jenner clan, I'm pretty sure Khloe's evolving sense of style over the years has been the most dramatic of the bunch, going from often-tasteless ensembles to a string of polished (though still sexy) outfits in the matter of years. So to celebrate the birthday girl — who turns 30 on Friday — let's see just how far Khloe's style has come over her time in the spotlight.
At Perez Hilton's 30th Birthday Party in 2008
Let’s just say this: Khloe’s style didn’t get off to the best start in her early days of fame. Filled with ill-fitting maxis and equally ill-fitting minis, there was only room for improvement on the fashion front.
At a Charity Benefit in 2009
Short, sheer, tight, and black was pretty much the name of the game for the Kardashian sister’s wardrobe in 2009.
At the E! Television 20th Anniversary Event in 2010
From the blindingly silver dress and leopard-print clutch to the shin-high cage heels and too-long locks, there’s just nothing that worked about this look.
At a 2011 Fragrance Launch Event
Making a noticeable improvement in the wardrobe department, Khloe began to realize that sometimes shorter and tighter isn’t always better.
At a Kardashian Kollection Event in 2011
I’m not even going to pretend to know what’s going on with Khloe’s outfit here, but it was a sad relapse right when I thought things were looking up for the star’s style.
At the 2011 Hollywood Style Awards
Believe it or not, but this ensemble counts as one that’s understated in the Kardashians’ book.
At 'The X Factor' Season 2 Finale
In what was one of her last short, sparkly, and unflattering numbers (thank you, fashion gods), the X Factor host made sure to shine at the finale event.
At the 2013 Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscars Party
This may be one of my favorite looks from the brunette bombshell ever, and deservedly so, as she looked absolutely stunning and beyond sophisticated in her beautifully fitting and strikingly colored gown.
At 2013 iHeartRadio Music Festival
With side-swept hair, sleek heels, and just a pop of bold color, this is how you do warm-weather leather, ladies.
At the 2013 Women in Entertainment Breakfast
Proving once and for all that her transition from tacky to tasteful was finally complete, Khloe looked like a perfect lady in her little white dress and chic, matching heels.
At the 2014 Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscars Party
And just so you didn’t think her bombshell days were behind her, the Kardashian sister showed off her rocking body and beautiful face in this stunning, red velvet Marc Bouwer gown at the annual bash.
