Kendall Jenner

There has to be at least one Kardashian-Jenner celeb trending at any given point in time! The clan is the epitome of pop culture, so it isn’t a surprise they are always one step ahead in their social media and press game. Kendall Jenner is a bit different, though, as she usually doesn’t seem like the headline-grabbing type unless she catwalks as a model.

This year, though, this young fashion model was in the headlines when she launched the campaign for ‘818’, her tequila company. People accused her of appropriating Mexican culture.

Later, her SKIMS photoshoot went viral after she was slammed for photoshopping her picture!

Despite all the negative publicity she got in 2021, Kendall continues to remain one of the leading models in the fashion world and also wins admirers on Keeping up with The Kardashians. Kendall Jenner does keep her love life a bit private, but often talks about how she has panic attacks and anxiety.

However, the Reputation star doesn’t take all her fame and wealth for granted; she helps the needy and believes in giving back to people. She has donated large amounts to social causes that move her, including one donation of $17,000 for renovating the library in her hometown and giving $15,000 to a fan whose mother was terminally ill.

Despite all the kindness she displays, the star is quite a diva when it comes to showbiz. Taylor Swift has had public fights with the likes of Nicki Minaj and Kanye West. She has also drawn considerable media attention to her dating life, having dated prominent celebs and written dozens of songs about them!
