Khloe Kardashian’s evolving looks – from the ‘fat sister’ next to Kim and Kourtney to a bikini babe – as she turns 40-years-old

Khloe Alexandra Kardashian turned 40-years-old on Thursday.

It is quite a milestone for the TV star who has done so much in her four decades.

The Calabasas, California native has had some incredible accomplishments, from the ‘fat sister’ next to slender sisters Kim and Kourtney, to a bikini bombshell who lands magazine covers.

She came to fame on Keeping Up With The Kardashians in 2007, made spinoffs and married LA Lakers great Lamar Odom.

Then her world changed.

After she left Odom, Khloe hit the gym and became pinup #1 in the KarJenner clan, causing her to land her own modeling contracts for companies like The Gap and spinoff shows like Kocktails With Khloe. 

Here is a look back at the evolution of one of America’s biggest glamazons.

She rose to fame starring with her family in the reality television series Keeping Up with the Kardashians from 2007 to 2021. 

Then she was in the spin-offs, Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami (2009–2013) and Kourtney and Khloé Take The Hamptons (2014–2015). 

Following the ending of their previous show, she and her family began starring on Hulu’s The Kardashians in 2022.

In 2009, Kardashian participated in the second season of The Celebrity Apprentice, finishing 10th of 16 candidates by being fired by Donald Trump. 

In 2012, she co-hosted the second season of the US adaptation of The X Factor with actor Mario Lopez.

Kardashian is involved in the retail and fashion industries with her sisters Kourtney and Kim. 

They have launched several clothing collections and fragrances, and additionally released the book Kardashian Konfidential in 2010. 

The Dash boutique employees starred in their own short-lived reality television series, Dash Dolls (2015).

In 2016, Kardashian hosted her own talk show, Kocktails with Khloé. 

She starred and produced health and fitness docu-series Revenge Body with Khloé Kardashian.

Her love life has been headline making. 

From September 2009 to December 2016, Kardashian was married to basketball player Lamar Odom, whom she married one month after they first met. 

They starred in their own reality television series, Khloé & Lamar (2011–2012).

She also shares Tatum, who turns two on July 28, and True, six, with her 33-year-old ex partner, basketball star Tristan Thompson.

She has also dated rappers The Game and French Montana. 

These days she also models a ton for companies like Kate Hudson’s Fabletics and has recently partnered with Body Glove for her brand Good American.

The reality TV diva got a warm tribute from her mother Kris Jenner first thing in the morning on her 40th birthday.

The producer’s Instagram post noted that the Good American designer is a great mother and is a wonderful daughter.

‘I don’t know how I got so lucky to be able to go through life with you!!!! Thank you for all you do for everyone Khloé and for always looking at the glass half full and for always looking at life through such a positive lens. 

‘No matter what you’re so upbeat for the rest of us. I love your strength and your sensitivity and your vulnerability and your support. Happy birthday, my beautiful girl and may all of your dreams come true. I love you beyond measure, more than I can ever explain in words, and you will always be my Bunny love, Mommy.’
