Kris Jenner on Aging, Power and Reinvention in Vogue

Kris Jenner has spent decades reinventing herself, and her latest appearance in Vogue Arabia is arguably her boldest yet. At 69, on the verge of turning 70, she graces the September cover, styled by Law Roach and photographed by Norman Jean Roy. The shoot captures her enduring presence and authority, a reminder that she remains a force in both fashion and popular culture.

Jenner has never let age dictate her presence. “This is ageing gracefully. It’s my version,” she tells Vogue, confirming what sparked global speculation earlier this year: she has had another facelift. She addresses it openly, with the support of her daughters, Kylie by her side and Kim joining via FaceTime. For Jenner, these decisions are about personal happiness, not public approval.

This openness extends beyond cosmetic choices. Jenner has shared other personal milestones, from her hip replacement to beauty treatments, framing them as part of her evolving life. Rather than hiding behind privacy, she takes control of the narrative, showing that transparency can be empowering.

Her influence stretches well beyond aesthetics. Since launching Keeping Up With the Kardashians in 2007, Jenner has run the family brand with precision and warmth. Now spanning 27 seasons across multiple platforms, the Kardashian-Jenner empire remains one of the most profitable in contemporary culture, with Kris at its centre.

What makes this Vogue feature compelling is her frank perspective on ageing and relevance. Retirement is not under consideration. Inspired by her mother, who worked into her eighties, Jenner imagines herself fully engaged in her work well into her 80s. For her, both family and business are lifelong commitments.

Even in a culture obsessed with youth, Jenner proves that influence and reinvention only grow stronger with time. As she approaches her 70th birthday, she is a reminder that authority, presence and confidence are qualities that age does not diminish and perhaps even sharpen.
