Before becoming global celebrities and reality TV stars, the Kardashian family lived a simple and normal life. Long before luxury brands, red carpets, and social media fame, they were just like any other family.
Want to see what they looked like before the millions, makeup artists, and brand deals? Check out these amazing old photos that show the real Kardashians—before the fame, the paparazzi, and the luxury lifestyle.
Major throwback
Before reality TV deals, beauty brands, and social media fame, the Kardashian-Jenner family lived just like regular people. This sweet photo shared by Kylie Jenner shows a younger Kylie and Kendall enjoying a family vacation—no private jets or glam squads, just happy moments with their parents.
Kylie simply captioned it “Major throwback,” and while we wish there was more context, it’s a heartwarming reminder of how the family used to enjoy quality time together.
Kim, the klown
Today, Kim Kardashian is known for high-end fashion, luxury makeup brands, and top stylists. But back then, her mom Kris Jenner handled it all. From school presentations to birthday parties, Kris did Kim’s hair and makeup with love and care.
This cute photo probably came from one of those moments—and honestly, Kris did a great job!
Keeping it classy
Rob Kardashian might have stayed more low-key compared to his sisters, but childhood photos like this one—shared by Khloe Kardashian—remind us how close the siblings have always been.
Khloe captioned it: “Always keeping it classy with my one and only @robkardashian,” showing that family bonds were strong long before the fame and followers.
Matching costumes
Nothing says childhood cuteness like matching costumes. Kylie posted this adorable picture of her and Kendall dressed as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, complete with tiny red shoes and stuffed dog “Totos.”
She shared it with the caption “Happy Father’s Day my little light of sunshine,” making it an unforgettable way to honor a special moment.
First day of school
Your child’s first day of school is a big moment, and the Kardashians felt the same. Kim’s parents made sure to capture this memory forever in a now-viral throwback photo.

Those shades though
In this 2008 photo shared by Kim Kardashian, we see her and Kourtney Kardashian spending time together—but the real star here? Kim’s unforgettable sunglasses.
