This seems to be the era of a Kim Kardashian who wants to reinvent everything: her image, her love life, and even the version of herself she has.

In 2009, she was 28 and beginning to become one of the most famous women in the world thanks to Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Today, she is 45 and her life is quite different: she is the mother of four children, has built a business empire, and is currently living a new romantic chapter alongside Lewis Hamilton.

Throughout these years, Kim has also placed a great deal of emphasis on evolving and working on herself. And on the outside, the change is evident: her style, body, and features have gradually transformed while practically everything was being documented in front of the cameras.

But that constant search for a new version has also drawn criticism. Kim and her sisters have been questioned for years over helping to establish beauty standards that are difficult to attain, especially given the enormous influence they have over other women. For her part, she has rejected that responsibility and defended the effort and dedication she puts into taking care of her appearance.

Seventeen years have passed since that Kim who was beginning to conquer television, and it seems staying the same was never among her plans. At 45, she has changed on the outside, her life has also taken several turns, and everything indicates that she is still searching for what her next version will be.
