Born on November 3, 1995, Kendall Jenner celebrates her 21st birthday Thursday. Pictured above on June 5, 1998, she grew up in the limelight, just 11 years old when the first episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians hit airwaves. Jenner has gone on to become a star in her own right, building her personal empire as an author, merchandiser, TV personality, and in-demand model. In honor of Jenner's 21st birthday, see 21 photos of the star through the years, ahead.
