Kim Kardashian has been in the public eye for more than two decades. The beauty mogul is turning 45 on Tuesday, and nothing has shown her evolution as a celebrity and with her style as much as her shoes. She started off being a loyal fan of Christian Louboutin peep toes and platform heels, and evolved into daintier shoes and strappy sandals from brands like Giuseppe Zanotti, Balmain, Manolo Blahnik, Alaïa and more.
Here, FN takes a look at how much Kim Kardashian’s shoe style has changed over the years.
