Kendall Jenner Gets Real, Goes Vulnerable

Kendall Jenner spilled over the cup of her 'i-D' cover story, sharing all the details that make up the real Kendall, like her struggles with insecurities and fears. The model, who famously testified to the fact that not everything on Instagram is real for a 'Vogue' article titled "Kendall Jenner Is Not A Reality Show," continued to break down that facade with the magazine and went vulnerable.

On Tuesday, Kendall Jenner graced the cover of LOVE magazine in a groundbreaking shoot that revealed a side of the reality star that fans have never seen before—a side with freckles.

It's true! In her latest shoot for the glossy mag, Kendall went completely make-up free and rocked her natural freckles for the first time in public. And she looks so great! (In case you're wondering, yes we do think it's possible to look great without make-up.)

For the cover, the model stripped down to a rose-colored cutout satin monokini and cowboy hat to sip out of a paper cup from the Kardashian-approved (if you recall her sister Kylie's viral "well-done" fry order) fast food chain. Kendall traded in her signature long, dark tresses for a choppy red pixie cut while she winked with a straw in her mouth. By swapping her hair to pixie length, Jenner appeared more mature not only in styling but also in attitude. On top of being almost unrecognizable, Kendall appeared unguarded as she went fully make-up free.

Kendall Nicole Jenner is an American model, media personality, socialite, and businesswoman. She has starred in the E! reality television show Keeping Up with the Kardashians since 2007 and is the founder and owner of cosmetic company Kylie Cosmetics.

At age 14, Jenner partnered with the clothing brand PacSun along with her sister Kylie and created their own line "Kendall & Kylie". Soon after, she co-designed a jewelry line with her sister Kylie, titled Metal Haven by Kendall & Kylie. She launched her own cosmetics line in 2016. In 2017, Jenner released her first independent clothing line for Day One L.A., consisting of hoodies, t-shirts and other cozy apparel for men and women. In 2018, Jenner also collaborated with Australian clothing brand General Pants Co., creating a line of "vintage-inspired" tees which sold out within 24 hours of its release.

Jenner is one of the most followed people on Instagram, being followed by more than 170 million people as of March 2021; she has also been modelling since 2009. She has done multiple editorials and cover photos for LOVE and various international Vogue editions, walked for Victoria's Secret (becoming the youngest model to do so at age.

This isn't the first time Kendall Jenner has posed for photographer Zachary Chick, and it certainly won't be the last.

Her latest shoot for Chick was a rose-colored affair: posing with a rose-colored cutout satin monokini, Jenner sipped from a paper cup from In-N-Out while wearing a cowboy hat and her signature pixie cut.

It's not hard to see why Jenner is one of Chick's most popular models. She's generous with her fans, always ready to share glimpses into her life when she's out of the spotlight. And like her sister Kylie (who enjoys In-N-Out as well), she's always ready to try something new.

Gone are the days of the Kardashian Reality Show’s aesthetic anyway. Kendall’s photo shoot for ‘i-D’ shows that she is moving towards more artful, personal endeavors. The days of absurd looks with still absurd results are far behind her. Her reality is more current, her art more dramatic and real. If ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashian’ had tried to create the image it would have been a hollow one. Kendall has taken a bolder step forward and we’re all drunk on that paper cup of water along with her.
