In the decade since the show debuted, plenty has changed — viewers saw [Kim](http://time.com/4621107/kim-kardashian-west-posts-first-instagram/) go from Paris Hilton’s best friend to a global celebrity who’s made a booming business out of self-promotion. Likewise, they also witnessed Kendall and Kylie Jenner grow up from mischievous little sisters into [celebrities](http://time100.time.com/2013/11/12/the-16-most-influential-teens-of-2013/slide/kendall-and-kylie-jenner/) in their own rights.

Their lives and careers weren’t the only things that evolved, however; their personal style and looks have changed dramatically as well. Here, take a look back at the first family of reality tv, from when _KUWTK_ first began to the present. It’s been quite the ride.
