Would You Call Kylie Jenner a 'Fresh Face?'

Kylie Jenner is one of five "fresh faces" featured in Marie Claire’s May 2016 issue, alongside Zendaya, Ellie Goulding, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, and Hailey Baldwin. On her respective cover, the younger Jenner sister ditches her usual Yeezyfied attire and now-signature ‘90s brown lip in favor of a fuchsia Hugo Boss gown and rosy makeup, and frankly, she looks lovely. But let’s have a (virtual) show of hands here — would you call Kylie Jenner, who over the past two years alone has fronted issues of Teen Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Elle UK, Interview, and, most recently, Paper — not to mention all those weeklies — a "fresh face?" While we’re at it, would you consider her fellow cover stars Ellie Goulding or Zendaya to be industry up-and-comers? Hmm.

In her interview, which Marie Claire teased online this morning, Jenner divulges that she actually gets insecure after sharing revealing snaps of herself on social media. "When I post sexy photos, I always regret it," she says. "Like, Oh my God, everyone is seeing my body. I get really weird about it." Again, hmm.
