63 photos that show how Kim Kardashian's style has transformed over time
Kim Kardashian West has been a public figure since the early 2000s.
Over the years, Kardashian West has traded in her attention-grabbing prints for more subtle colors.
The reality star and makeup mogul is also not afraid to wear daring looks on the red carpet.
Since "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" premiered on E! in 2007, fans can't get enough of Kim Kardashian West. The most basic details of Kardashian West's life make the news, including what she eats in a day, how she takes her selfies, and, of course, what she wears.
In the early 2000s, the reality star often sported valley girl staples like monochromatic tracksuits, belted tunics, and busy patterns. Kardashian West's style has subtly shifted over time with popular trends, but it dramatically changed in 2012 after she began dating her now-husband Kanye West. These days, she favors latex dresses, fur coats, mesh fabric, and daring looks overall.
