57 Photos of Kim Kardashian That Look Nothing Like Kim Kardashian — Turns Out, She Wasn't Always A Spray Tan Enthusiast

Kim Kardashian has been making quite a statement these days. The reality TV star is trying to break the internet with a (very) NSFW photo for Paper Magazine.

Before we kept up with her and the rest of the Kardashian Klan, Kim went from being a cute kiddo to Paris Hilton's (LOL! Remember her) BFF. In true #tbt style, here are 57 photos of Kim Kardashian that look nothing like her now.

BFF'S with Paris

Remember when Kim was Paris Hilton’s trusty sidekick? AND wore a white collared wrap dress? You had no idea where you’d end up on that Totem Pole, Kimmy K.

This Red Carpet Pose

Proving that even Kardashians can get too matchy-matchy.

A 5 Star Outfit

Let’s just leave with that belt.

Not the Same

I mean… it’s kind of the Kim we know and (maybe) love. A bit different, though.

Matching with Paris

Oh man. The costume. The sunglasses. PARIS HILTON.

But really: what are they wearing? Is it for Oktoberfest? Some sort of sexy medieval outfit? The world may never know.

A... Different 'Do

I don’t understand her hair. Is it supposed to stick up like that? What’s with the center part? At least she’s with a Cheetah Girl.

Kim, you mad?

A TRL Appearance

Oh man, a classic 2000s midriff vest. And, a giant monogrammed necklace — just in case you forgot what her first and last name start with.

Owning the Red Carpet

Look at that pose. It’s fierce. She just KNOWS she’s going to make it big.

Bangin'

Is it just me or is her face a totally different shape in this 2007 pic? We’ll blame it on the bangs.

Dynamic Duo

At least Kourtney semi-resembles her current self…

Blonde?

Hmm…I’m not sure if blonde works for her. It’s (luckily) just a wig, but she DID recently bleach her brows, so there’s that.

This Jolly Bunch

A Christmas photo from way back in the day. Maybe they’re practicing for their annual holiday card.

Those Monogrammed Sweater Days

The girls matched head-to-toe even way back in the day. I wonder if Mamma Kris made those sweatshirts.

In Satin and a Bow

Proving there’s a foodie in all of us.

Who Could That Be?

What’s the best part of all of Hollywood’s elite going to the same school? The fact that they get to pose for photos together, of course! Nice braces, Nicole.

Beach Day Sisters

The gang posed for a beach day photo for this throwback photo. Yeah, Kim’s pose hasn’t changed much. But those bangles? LOL.

Myspace Photo

Proving even Kardashians were into the whole peace sign, Myspace photo thing.

Mother/Daughter Cheesin'

Oh, Kimmy K and Mamma Kris. The bow’s adorable. And she may or may not look a tiny bit like North.

Bottoms Up

Showing us all that she’s always known how to own a cocktail party.

Pattycake, Pattycake

Let’s hope she saved this hat for North.

How to Get to Sesame Street

They’re wearing matching outfits and are completely fascinated with Big Bird! See… Kardashians are normal, too. Kind of….

Dammit, Kourtney

Back in the day when Khloe cut Kim’s bangs and Kourtney ruined photos.

Image: kimkardashian/Instagram

The Short Bangs

I’m not sure how I’m feeling this look, Kim. The short bangs aren’t really your thing, but you do you.

White Out

This isn’t the way we know Kim to coordinate outfits these days, but then again this photo is from 2006.

This must have been a transition phase between blond and brunette.

Lovely Ladies

The Kardashian ladies have always cleaned up well.

Bowling Babe

Kim never before struck me as the athletic type.

Lovely in Leopard

There’s no way even Kim could recognize herself in this dress.

That time that knits were Kim’s thing.

Guys, she used to wear things that aren’t just black and white.

I SWEAR this is Kim.

Charley Gallay/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images

No Skin, Just Bones

Okay, yeah, we’re cheating a little with this one.

Wet and Wild

Sorry Kim, but Queen Bey does the wet hair look a little better than you.

Image: kimkardashian/Instagram

Up Close and Personal

Kim’s lashes are looking little fuller than usual.

Evan Agostini/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images

Chilling With Paris

The friends who ignore the cameras together… don’t stay together apparently.

Thomas Niedermueller/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images

Strike A Pose

Can you imagine a time when Kim K. wasn’t the most famous person in this picture? I can’t.

Evan Agostini/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images

Can't See Past My Shades

These sunglasses transform her whole face.

Katy Winn/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images

Side Part Of Queens

Most people still hadn’t heard of Kim K. in 2006, but it wouldn’t be long now…

Frazer Harrison/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images

Girls' Night

I still have trouble imagining the times when Kim Kardashian was most famous for being Paris Hilton’s friend, so let’s look at it again.

Stephen Shugerman/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images

Some Things Never Change

Now this looks like a klassic Kim. K red carpet outfit.

Frazer Harrison/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images

Say Whaaat?

This was also my face when I found out that Kim K. had been on TRL more than once.
