It's rare for more than a few days to pass without the Kardashian-Jenner clan hitting the headlines, but it's usually because of the famous family themselves, and not their lesser-known members like Natalie Zettel.

Who is Natalie? I hear you ask. She's Kylie and Kendall Jenner's remarkably similar cousin, and she's a lowkey Instagram model, who occasionally pops up on the Kardashian-Jenner clan's accounts.

Natalie has just 46,000 Instagram followers - which may sound like a huge number, but it's a very small figure compared to 153 million!

More recently, the daughter of Kris Jenner’s younger sister, Karen Houghton, has had fans scratching their heads when she recently popped up in a festive snap with Kylie Jenner.

In the video below, Kendall hilariously impersonates Kylie:

However, unlike Kris, Karen very much prefers to stay out of the spotlight, and given Natalie's relatively low-key life compared to that of her famous cousins, it seems reasonable to assume that she is a woman after her mother's heart.

In the snap below, Natalie could, on a first glance, be mistaken for cousin Kendall Jenner.

But while Natalie does bear some resemblance to Kendall, it's impossible to deny that in certain situations, she could be Kylie's doppelgänger.

And Natalie's followers certainly seem to agree:

"Kris is so over the top when it comes to being image-conscious," a family insider told Star Magazine, as per the Daily Mail.

"While Karen is a totally down-to-earth sweetheart, she certainly doesn’t come close to meeting the glam standards that Kris likes to publicly project for her family."

"That's also more than likely why you never see Karen on any of the family TV shows."

In an interview with Dailymail.com in 2014, Karen even explained why she wouldn't be making an appearance at Kim and Kanye's wedding: "I'm not materialistic, I'm more into animals and charities."

But there were no hard feelings and she added: "I love Kris, I love all of my family."

So, regardless of Karen's relative backseat role in the Kardashian-Jenner machine, it's safe to say that they are a strong family in every sense, and good looks are one of their defining traits!

In the glamorous world of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, birthdays are nothing short of a spectacle, and Kendall Jenner's 28th birthday was no exception.

The supermodel's celebration was highlighted with humor, affection, and of course, the family's signature flare for the extravagant.

Kylie Jenner, the youngest of the Kardashian-Jenner sisters and a beauty mogul in her own right, cheekily nudged at her sister’s age by sending a bouquet of sunflowers with a card jesting, "Happy birthday sister 30 years old!!!! Times flies. Love you, Kylie."

The playful banter continued as Kendall shared the photo of the bouquet on her Instagram Story with a caption that included a middle finger emoji and "Lmao," showcasing the sisters' close relationship.

Kylie, not missing a beat, responded with a crying laughing face emoji as she reshared the photo on her social media account. This light-hearted exchange comes hot on the heels of Kylie's launch of her first clothing collection, Khy, earlier in the week, adding to the week's festive spirit.

The celebrations included an intimate glimpse into Kendall’s birthday scene where she was surrounded by not one, but four cakes. In a snapshot shared by Kylie, the birthday girl was seen in a candid moment, sitting before a grand white cake adorned with a childhood photo of herself. The table was graced with three additional cakes, with icing that playfully read, "Twenty ATEEE," another nod to the model's actual age.

The birthday tributes didn't stop with the sisters. Matriarch Kris Jenner, soon to celebrate her own birthday, took to Instagram with a heartfelt message, calling Kendall "beautiful, kind, generous, giving, smart, talented, creative, amazing, and thoughtful." Kris expressed her gratitude and love, saying, "I am beyond blessed that God chose me to be your Mommy."

Adding to the chorus of well-wishes, Kim Kardashian reminisced about the treasured memories of road trips and travels with her "beautiful Horse Girl KJ," while anticipating the creation of new ones. She described Kendall as the grounding energy their family often needs.

Khloé Kardashian’s tribute described the supermodel as the "True definition of a jack of all trades," and listing titles from model to "tequila queen" and "adrenaline junkie," among many others. Khloé admired the way Kendall lives life "beautifully done."

Each message, each cake, and each post reveals the depth of love and admiration the Kardashian-Jenner family holds for one another, with Kendall's birthday serving as yet another occasion for them to publicly celebrate their bond.

This familial display of affection and teasing, candidly shared with the world, provides fans a window into the genuine and heartfelt dynamics often masked by the family’s public personas.

As Kendall turns 28, her family’s tributes are a reminder that no matter the heights of their individual fame, at the heart of their narrative is a family celebrating each other’s milestones with love, humor, and a touch of luxury.

Who cares what's happening in your family? The Kardashian family is far more interesting! With a net worth of $900 million, Kylie Jenner is set to become the world's youngest female billionaire. Kim Kardashian breaks the Internet every time she posts an adorable baby photo (or sizzling nude selfie). Kourtney Kardashian is at the center of a heated discussion in the new Keeping Up With The Kardashians trailer. And after Tristan Thompson got busted for cheating, Khloe Kardashian shocked fans by taking him back. Judging by this cute video of Tristan dancing with their daughter, True, all that drama is over.

But we don't hear much from Kendall Jenner, do we? The 22-year-old became the world's highest paid model in 2017, taking the crown from Giselle. But while she's constantly strutting the runway and posting stunning photos on social media, her personal life is shrouded in secrecy. (Well, for a Kardashian, anyway.)

We know Kendall is dating Ben Simmons, the 21-year-old basketball player for the Philadelphia 76'ers. They were first spotted having lunch at the Beverly Hills Hotel in May. Since then, the paparazzi snapped photos of them on dates in New York City and Los Angeles. But details are scarce. A source close to Kendall told People why she keeps her relationship hush-hush:

“She’s being very private about her relationship with Ben. Kendall’s really different from her sisters in that sense. She honestly doesn’t want people talking about who she’s dating and is very protective of her personal life. She hates the attention and it’s been annoying that the drama with Tinashe has come up.

The "drama with Tinashe" refers to an incident that happened last weekend. Tinashe is Ben's ex-girlfriend, and, in an unfortunate coincidence, went to the same club as Ben and Kendall. To make the situation even more awkward, Tinashe told TMZ that Ben was texting her while they were all inside. She also told the media outlet that she is done dating basketball players, and referred to Ben as an "idiot."

But Kendall has time for such drama. According to People's source, she's looking forward to relaxing this summer.

"Things are definitely heating up though and she’s having a good time with him. She’s excited to spend the summer with Ben. Over the last year, she also slowed down some of her work and took a break from the runway. She deals with a lot of anxiety and needed a breather. That kind of traveling really takes a toll on her, but she’s been feeling good."

Rumors emerged that Kendall and Ben were living together in Los Angeles. However, the source said that is not a permanent arrangement. "Ben is renting the house. Kendall is not on the lease. It’s a gorgeous house, so it makes sense that she wants to stay over as much as possible."

Well, we'll whatever information we can get! It's the Kardashian's world, and we're just living in it.

When you're a member of arguably America's most famous family, you're likely to cause a stir pretty much every time you leave the house.

Of course, the Kardashians court controversy more than most, and it would be fair to say that the family has enjoyed more than their fair share of scandals over the past year or so.

Last year, Kendall Jenner came under fire for her part in an ill-judged Pepsi commercial, while Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna aired their dirty laundry in public in unprecedented fashion.

More recently, we've been confronted with clips of Kim and Kourtney Kardashian at each other's throats over scheduling conflicts for a photoshoot, with Kim even stooping so low as to describe her sister as the least interesting of the family to look at.

Then, Kylie Jenner turned 21 in a wild birthday bash during which a model and influencer collapsed and was taken away in an ambulance.

So far, so Kardashian.

Since Kylie became a mother, she has perhaps been a little more reticent than her previous, selfie-loving self, though she still treats her fans to regular fiery Instagram updates with regularity. Fans had become used to Kylie's iconic pout - which she monetised in the form of her startlingly successful makeup brand, though were shocked recently when the socialite revealed that she had removed her lip fillers, debuting a much more natural look. It was an instant hit with her legions of admirers, and now it seems that she has decided to continue in a similar vein, after photos emerged of her first Vogue cover.

Debuting a stripped down look, Kylie looks absolutely flawless for the covershoot:

Then, her stylist revealed that she was wearing no makeup, only moisteuriser for the pictures:

And it's fair to say, she looks absolutely beautiful:

Fans took to Twitter to describe the 21-year-old as "pure":

It's great to see more and more influential celebrities embracing natural looks to show fans that, however you choose to present yourself - glamorously made up, or more 'natural' and stripped down - you are beautiful either way.
