Kendall Jenner's Ad Sparks Debate: Is It Too Bold?

Kendall Jenner is channeling her mother, Kris Jenner, in her latest ad campaign for Calvin Klein. The model and mega-influencer, 28, shared a new carousel on Instagram on Wednesday, September 5, featuring her modeling new Calvin Klein clothing and intimates.

In a September 2024 Calvin Klein ad campaign, Jenner sports a short new hair do, resembling that of her mother, Kris Jenner. Kendall's stylish new look earned the seal of approval from her mother, who commented Oh I love your hair with a heart-eyes emoji.

But why do we fixate on these? Are they a projection of our own insecurities? A huge thing I work on in therapy is feeling worthy of where I'm at and knowing that I can't let what's being said about me on the internet, especially about my worthiness, get in my head too much.

Looks like Kendall isn't the only one channeling the business-savvy matriarch. Speaking of social media, Kendall's sister, Kim Kardashian, recently revealed that she allowed her 8-year-old son, Saint, to start a YouTube channel, provided that he sign a strict contract.

The Jenners and the Kardashians are some of the most followed on social media. But navigating social media can be a real beast. While many of the comments on Kendall's posts are often positive, she admitted in an interview with Vogue that she often internalizes the few negative comments she receives.
