Khloé Kardashian has undergone quite a dramatic transformation over the years, having admitted that she felt like the “fat, ugly sister” when she was younger.
The reality TV star, 37, is the younger sister of Kourtney Kardashian, 42, and Kim Kardashian, 41 – with the siblings having become household names in the early noughties.
She previously said that following their rise to stardom on Keeping Up with the Kardashians (KUWTK), she would often feel like she was “in the background” at family photoshoots.
More recently though, she has undergone a transformation which has seen her step out from the shadows and showcase her “revenge body” in posts on social media.

Khloé made her reality TV debut on KUWTK in 2007. She appeared alongside her siblings and their mother, Kris Jenner, now 66.
During its initial few seasons, Khloé had a fuller figure and darker hair than she has sported in recent years – with her having a more prominent nose at that time too.
It was in 2009 that she married basketball player Lamar Odom, now 42, with her features and look on her wedding day similar to that of her first few years on the show.

By around 2011, she however appeared to have a much slimmer nose and began showcasing different hairstyles and colours – often photographed with lighter locks.
It was around this time that she appeared in spin-offs Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami and Khloé & Lamar – with her having established herself outside of the primary show.

Khloé’s style and look again appeared to change slightly a few years later, with the reality TV star experimenting with blonde streaks in her hair at one point in around 2013.
It’s been said that it was then that her fashion evolved, with her opting for dresses that flaunted her curves. She would continue to showcase her physique in more recent years.

It was following seven years of marriage that Khloé finalised her divorce from Lamar. She appeared slimmer in around 2016 and had decided to go blonde full-time.
This period saw her venture into some new avenues with her style, choosing some outfits that showcased a little more skin that some of her previous ensembles had done.
Khloé began dating basketball player Tristan Thompson, now 31, around this time and the couple welcomed a child together, True Thompson, now three, in April 2018.
The couple split the following year amid his infidelity, though she was said to have lost a significant amount of weight in the months following the birth of her daughter.

It’s understood that she kept up a strict diet and exercise routine following the arrival of True, with the mother-of-one showing off her physique in social media posts.
And her style kept progressing during this period too, with her opting for edgier looks on red carpets as she continued to sport her now-usual blonde hair.
According to the Yahoo News, it was in 2018 that she denied speculation that she’d had a nose job – instead suggesting that any change was due to contour.
She however confirmed in an interview last year that she had undergone a nose job at one point in her life, though she didn’t reveal when the procedure took place.

Khloé resumed her relationship with Tristan two years ago, with the pair having quarantined together with their daughter during the Covid pandemic.
Their rekindled romance however is understood that have ended last year after it was revealed that he had fathered a child with another woman. He later apologised to Khloé.
Over the course of the first year of the pandemic, Khloé occasionally opted to return to having darker hair and continued to showcase the results of her exercise routine.

In recent months, following the scandal last year, Khloé has been seen looking even more toned as she promotes her dedication to working out on social media.
Her sister Kourtney’s lifestyle brand Poosh shared a breakdown of Khloé’s workout routine and her coach Joel Bouraima said that she is always early for her gym sessions.
According to the Sun, some fans however have expressed concern that she has lost too much weight, with it also suggested that she is “unrecognisable” from her former self.
It’s been speculated that her workout routine may be helping in the aftermath of the “heartache and humiliation” that Tristan had caused her in recent months.
Whatever the motivation, she certainly looks a lot different from how she did when she made her debut on KUWTK almost 15 years ago.
