Kylie Jenner surprised fans at the start of this year when she waltzed into Paris Fashion Week in a strapless gown - a radical departure from her usual high glamour look.
The 26-year-old, from California, went for a natural look- all pale, lightly flushed skin, tousled hair and minimal eye makeup.
But those who have followed the reality television star for some time spotted a drastic difference in the way styled and carried herself.
There came a time before dating Timothée when Kylie was all about wearing bright colours, revealing clothing and heavy makeup.
The only thing that has changed between now and then is her partner, raising questions as to whether the star enjoys matching her look to that of her boyfriend's wardrobe.

![Some fans have wondered whether the inspiration behind Kyle's new classic image is her beau, Timothee Chalamet (both pictured in January at the Golden Globe Awards)](https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2024/06/20/10/86358415-13550093-image-m-4_1718875653351.jpg)

Her first long-term relationship with Tyga blossomed after the couple met in November 2011 at Kendall's 16th birthday party.
Their on-and-off relationship started in 2015, when he gifted her a Ferrari for her birthday and got a tattoo dedicated to her.
And it seems Kylie mirrored his gestures, changing her Instagram handle to 'King Kylie', inspired by Tyga, also known as 'King Gold Chain'.
The rapper is covered head-to-toe in tattoos and has grills, a type of dental jewellery worn over the teeth.
Back then, Kylie was not afraid to show off her edgy style and bold looks, which would often include a full face of makeup, tan skin and hair in unnatural colours such as green, blue and purple.

The couple would often coordinate, with Kylie donning bright mint-coloured hair, matching Tyga's khaki camo top.
The star also once donned a red ensemble, while her beau opted for a red flame hoodie and a black beanie with cherry-coloured writing on it.
When their relationship came to an end in 2017, Kylie met Travis Scott, another rapper, and they engaged in a whirlwind romance.
Kylie and Travis - who share two children together - would often match her ensembles him.
In 2022, they stepped out in matching red and white leather biker jackets and in 2018, the couple decided to don bright-coloured ensembles to the Louis Vuitton show in Paris, a far cry from Kylie's neutral wardrobe.
Mini skirts, oversized sunglasses, and short mini dresses were often what her fans would see her dressed in, along with hair extensions and heavy makeup.

But since dating Timothee Chalamet last year, Kylie has been trying out a more classic, dressed-down style and it's believed she wants to match the aesthetic of her boyfriend.
Her look at Paris Fashion Week gave fans a glimpse into a more natural Kylie but some criticised it and said she looked older than she was, which upset the star.
For the Met Gala in May, the mother-of-two also opted for a classic Hollywood glamour rather than her usual modern look.
She turned heads as she showed off her hourglass figure in a champagne-colored Oscar de la Renta gown with a retro bullet bra bodice and a fluffy train.
The indie darling and the reality star make such an unlikely couple it's even been suggested that the 'Kylie effect' could be damaging to Timothee's low-key image, so perhaps her switch-up is no coincidence.
Speaking to FEMAIL brand expert Emily Austen previously explained: 'Timothee has charmed fans with his rise to fame and his unorthodox perception of Hollywood,' she said.

'He's very much the underdog story, French, he doesn't have the Hollywood 'look' - muscles, build, or fashion sense.
'He has feminine energy, dresses energetically, and shuns the traditional trappings of celebrity culture. This has given an endearing sense of curiosity into his personality.
'His girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, couldn't be more opposite. She's all but grown up on television, sharing every intimate detail of her life, business, bank balance, routine and journey to motherhood.
'The Kylie effect could be damaging to Timothee's credibility amongst fans, but likely won't impact long term deals and film success.'
For the Met Gala this year, Kylie showcased another pared-back style, turning heads in a champagne-colored Oscar de la Renta gown with a retro bullet bra bodice and a fluffy train.
In this week's episode of The Kardashians, the mother-of-two broke down after internet trolls said she looked 'old' in the unfiltered pictures.
In a conversation with her sister, Kendall, she complained about how people had been making fun of her face.

In a candid chat, Kylie said people would criticise her if she was wearing 'too much makeup,' but if she went in the opposite direction, people would also comment on her look.
'I've never cried about this before but I guess it does affect me,' she said.
'People have been talking about my looks since I was 12, 13, before I even got lip filler. It's just so hurtful. [They say] I look old, I see it under every post.'
In particular, she was hurt that fans — as well as cosmetic dermatologists and professionals experienced with injecting fillers and Botox — had pointed out diagonal lines running through her plump cheeks.
Some fans and professionals had speculated that she had used too much filler below her eyes and over her cheek bones, creating the prominent crease.
However, the lines can be visible on anyone, even in children, and Kylie claimed that the feature had always been prominent on her going back to when she was a child.

In March, DailyMail.com spoke to insiders who insisted that Kylie and Timothee are still dating after recent fears emerged that couple called it quits.
The pair have not been spotted together in public since January, leading some fans to believe they had quietly separated.
Now, insiders have claimed the smitten duo have deliberately taken a step back from the limelight to 'protect' their relationship - and because Timothee, 28, was uncomfortable with the coverage of their kiss at the Golden Globes and feared it could distract from his new film, Dune 2.
'Timothee didn't like all the attention he got with Kylie during the Golden Globes and their kiss took away from the reason he was there,' a source said.
'His career is taking off and he wants to protect it and let it thrive based on his talent – not who he is or isn't dating. He also wants to protect his relationship with Kylie.'
