‘Looks Younger Than Kourtney’: Kris Jenner’s Youthful Glow Has Critics Saying Her Six-Figure Transformation Made Her Her Daughters’ Biggest Competition

If there is one thing Kris Jenner will do, it’s support her daughters — even while becoming their biggest competition.

For years, the Kardashian-Jenner family has built its brand around beauty, glamour, and a carefully curated image, often embraced as the social media aesthetic popularized by influencers.

Now, the family matriarch is emerging as one of the most youthful-looking members of the clan.

Thanks to cosmetic procedures, trendy hairstyles, and polished styling, Jenner has been receiving praise from fans who say she looks younger than her famous daughters.

Many people couldn’t get over how young the 70-year-old looked at her star-studded James Bond-themed birthday party last November.

And one can’t forget the time she temporarily ditched her signature black hair for a platinum blond cut at last year’s Shark Beauty’s Shark Glam launch event.

Some speculated she looked decades younger than her own daughters.

That theory seemed to be reignited when Jenner and her third-eldest daughter, Khloé Kardashian, attended the launch of Khloé’s XO Blue fragrance line in Malibu.

In photos from the June 14 event, the ladies were all smiles, but all eyes were on Jenner alone.

Khloé wore her long balayage hair down her back in beach-wave curls and slipped on a long-sleeved gold minidress with nude heels.

On the other hand, Jenner went for a more relaxed look, rocking light blue jeans and a black blazer decorated with white roses at the bottom.

Though her outfit was more chic-casual than her daughter’s glam look, she still seemed to overshadow Khloé.

One fan who felt the same said, “Kris now looks YOUNGER than Khloe!”

Someone else who thought similarly said, “No shade, but Why does kris look more put together than her daughters.”

Another person complimenting Jenner said, “Kris has the best plastic surgeon on the planet! She looks 20-30 years younger!!.”

A fourth typed, “Kris’ face lift looks soooooooooo good lol.”

In a cover story for Vogue Arabia, Jenner confessed that Dr Steven Levine operated on her face and explained why she did the procedure.

“I decided to do this facelift because I want to be the best version of myself, and that makes me happy,” she explained. “Just because you get older, it doesn’t mean you should give up on yourself.”

She started off saying that if people want to age gracefully by not doing any procedure then that is OK. 

“But for me,” she added, “this is ageing gracefully. It’s my version.”

Jenner said she had gotten a facelift 15 years ago, which would have put her at 54 then. She said it was time for a refresh and according to the reaction of people, it certainly rejuvenated her. 

Even her second daughter Kim Kardashian, 45, said in an episode of “The Kardashians” last year that when they attended their friend Lauren Sánchez’s bachelorette dinner, someone mistook Jenner for Kim.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
