Kylie Jenner is addressing critics who have opinions on her new, more conservative look.
In an interview with The New York Timespublished on Thursday, the 26-year-old Kylie Cosmetics founder was asked to respond to critics who say that her latest style is influenced by her current boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet. She's been linked to the actor, 28, since 2023.
“I don’t know how I feel about that,” Jenner said.“I just don’t want to talk about personal things.”
She said she wasn't aware of the theory, because she tries to exclusively focus on social media comments about her businesses and products, not her appearance or personal life. The NYT referenced a "puff-sleeve 'cottagecore' maxidress" Jenner wore last summer.
The Kardashians star instead cited the birth of her son Aire Webster,2, as the reason for her new style.
“It takes me a while after I have a baby to feel like myself again,” she said. "Then you get your body back, and you’re like, ‘Wait, the trends have changed.' "
In the interview with the NYT, Jenner addressed the impact that constant criticism of her physical appearance has had on her emotions. As the newspaper reported, harsh lighting in one photo can sometimes be the catalyst of stories featuring plastic surgeons speculating about whether she's had additional cosmetic procedures.
"It’s just years and years of not feeling like my face or looks are accepted,”she said. “There’s nothing anyone could ever say now that would hurt me.”

In late February, the Keeping Up with the Kardashians alum wore a blacktube top with cut-out strapsandcut-out foldover pants from the fourth drop of her clothing collection Khyto an event celebrating its launch. The outfit was once again on the conservative side.
From both of her parents' side, she is of Dutch, English, Irish, and Scottish ancestry, with some Welsh ancestry from her father's side. Jenner has an older sister, Kendall, and eight older half-siblings.
Robert Kardashian Sr. was the son of Helen and Arthur Kardashian. All four of his grandparents were Armenian who emigrated from the Ottoman Empire to the United States of America in the early 20th century, originating from the towns of Karakale and Ardahan in modern-day Turkey.
Kylie Jenner was born on August 10, 1997 in Los Angeles, California to Kris Jenner (née Kristen Mary Houghton) and athlete Caitlyn Jenner. Kylie has one full sibling, Kendall Jenner.
Kylie Jenner practices Christianity. According to various online sources, she identifies herself as a Christian, and her religious beliefs align with the Christian faith. While many celebrities belong to various religions, not all publicly discuss or display their religious affiliations.
The youngest Kardashian-Jenner sister's on-and-off romance with the "Freaky Deaky" rapper drew criticism early on due to the couple's seven-year age difference; Kylie was 17 and Tyga was 24 when rumors began swirling that they were dating in the fall of 2014.
Kendall and Kylie Jenner are obviously sisters, so it's not a surprise that they look alike. However, their last selfie before Kylie went full King Kylie makes them look like clones of one another — but as they showed us, their tastes couldn't be more different.
