Kylie Jenner Claps Back at Critics Who Say She’s Not a ‘Self-Made’ Billionaire

At just 21 years old, Kylie Jenner was recently named the youngest self-made billionaire by Forbes. While many people were quick to criticize the “self-made” designation, the beauty mogul has responded to the backlash with a self-assured statement for all the haters.

“There’s really no other word to use other than self-made because that is the truth,” the beauty mogul said in Interview Germany. “That is the category that I fall under.”

In 2018, the youngest KarJenner’s Kylie Cosmetics fortune surpassed the milestone previously set by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, who earned the title at the age of 23. When Forbes released its Kylie cover in early March, her legions of fans supported her while critics rolled their eyes at calling someone who was born into an already-public family “self-made.”

But Jenner maintains that, while whatever wealth and fame her family had established before she started her business didn’t hurt her, it isn’t the reason for her success.

“I am a special case because before I started Kylie Cosmetics, I had a huge platform and lots of fans,” she continued. ” [But] I did not get money from my parents past the age of 15. I used 100 percent of my own money to start the company, not a dime in my bank account is inherited. And I am very proud of that.”

According to Forbes, Jenner solely owns her billion-dollar business, which has just seven full-time and five part-time employees. For a time after its late 2015 launch, Kylie Cosmetics had only been available online and in select pop-up shops, but after exclusively rolling the products out in Ulta stores in late 2018, the business reached a new level.

“I didn’t expect anything. I did not foresee the future,” Jenner told Forbes when she received the title of youngest self-made billionaire.“But [the recognition] feels really good. That’s a nice pat on the back.”

Things are heating up between Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet. The celebrity couple, who went public with their relationship in January of 2023 are only getting closer, and according to one source, who says that Kylie's already considering Timothée “the one," they're getting serious.

Here's the latest news on Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet's relationship.

Kylie Jenner "definitely" sees her relationship with Timothée Chalamet as a longterm thing.

According to the Page Six insider, Kylie Jenner “has never felt like this about anybody else before and definitely sees a future with him," especial since she “feels like Timothée is so different from all her other exes she’s dated in the past.”

Kylie's dating history involves names like Tyga and Travis Scott (who's the father of her kids Stormi and Aire), but she's never had a relationship like this.

A source told People in December 2023 that Kylie and Timmy are "incredibly happy" together.

“He is very supportive of her career and she of his,” the source said. “They both try to attend important events for each other.” And in addition to being super supportive, Timothée Chalamet is “in awe of everything [Kylie] is accomplishing” and “especially thinks she is an amazing mom.” I can't get enough of these two!

Most recently, Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet got cozy at the 2025 Golden Globes, where Timothée was nominated for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture for his role as Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown.

Timothée rocked the goatee he's had since he started filming Marty Supreme along with a dark suit and a blue tie worn like a scarf. Kylie looked gorgeous in a silver 1999 Versace dress that Elizabeth Hurley wore to the CFDA Fashion Awards that same year in New York.

I can't wait to see this couple make many more appearances together!

Festival fashion has always been about making a statement, but some trends are best left in the past. Remember the good old days of flower crowns and dip-dyed denim? We hate to break it to you, but certain Coachella staples are starting to feel more costume-y than a cool-girl outfit. If you want to keep your festival looks fresh as ever, it’s time to retire these “outdated” trends and make room for something new.

Scroll on to discover 7 Coachella and festival trends that were once everything to the fashion community, but have since fallen out of style.

1. Studded Denim Shorts

Etsy

One Of A Kind High Waisted Studded Shorts

Studded denim shorts were everywhere in the early 2010s, thanks to festival fashion legends like Kylie Jenner and Vanessa Hudgens. They were truly so edgy, but the excessive embellishments have since fallen out of style.

Levi's

Levi's Baggy Dad Jorts

If you want to go the denim route for a festival ‘fit, you’re better off rocking high-waisted designs or baggy jorts for a more current feel.

Urban Outfitters

Silence + Noise Mona Studded Shoulder Bag

To channel the good old days of festival fashion, you could totally bulk up your Coachella ‘fits with cute studded accessories like hats or purses!

2. Combat Boots

Amazon

Amazon Essentials Lace-Up Combat Boots

Combat boots – you know the ones! They were once the go-to footwear for grungy festival looks, but along with not being super practical for all-day wear, they just add an unnecessarily bulky vibe.

Tecovas

Tecovas The Beth Boots

Instead, cowgirl boots are the “it” shoe to wear to festivals like Coachella. They’re way more comfortable and go with everything from denim shorts to flowy mini dresses!

3. Fringe Tank Tops

Etsy

Fringe Beaded Tie Dye Top

Remember when everyone and their mothers were chopping up their tank tops with fringe hems? We definitely participated in this festival-inspired trend, even tying little plastic beads onto the strands. Oh, take us back!

Urban Outfitters

Urban Outfitters Zolli Embroidered Open-Back Fringe Halter Top

Fringe tank tops were most certainly a symbol of the boho aesthetic that was so big in the 2010s, but they’ve now been eclipsed by sleeker styles.

Free People

We The Free Fringe Out Vegan Suede Jacket

If you still want to embrace the Coachella nostalgia at your next festival, try out a fringy poncho or jacket or a purse for something a little more low-key.

4. Flower Crowns

Etsy

Sun Flower Headband

Nothing screams ‘early Coachella’ more than flower crowns, but this trend came and went so quick. Flower crowns became so overused that they became cliché – LOL.

Free People

Free People So Silk Bandana

Luckily, you can still achieve the carefree vibe without having to put one on! Opt for chicer hair accessories like hair clips, bandanas, or bows. Plus, braided hairstyles can totally replace the need for anything excessive.

5. Gladiator Sandals

DSW

Vintage Foundry Pruitt Sandals

Oh gosh, we totally regret that these were even a fashion trend. Gladiator sandals – especially the knee-high, lace-up versions – were huge at one point, but they’ve since lost their appeal due to their impracticality. Not only are they hard to walk in, they take literal years to put on and take off, and can cause weird tan lines if you’re standing out in the sun for a festival.

Teva

Teva Flatform Mevia Sandals

These days, chunky platform sandals or cowboy boots are more the norm when it comes to festival fashion.

6. Crochet Dresses

ASOS

ASOS Monki Crochet Knitted Mini Dress

While crochet absolutely still has a place in festival fashion, the fully-crocheted maxi and mini dresses that were once all the rage now feel a wee bit overdone – and too closely tied to the ever-popular boho aesthetic of the past decade.

Urban Outfitters

Motel Fulvia Ruffle Trim Slip Mini Dress

Instead, rock some sheer mesh dresses, flowy slip dresses, or lace-trimmed pieces that offer a more modern take on lightweight festival dressing.

7. Tie-Dye Everything

Los Angeles Apparel

Los Angeles Apparel Tie Dye Baby Rib Halter Top

Tie-dye was another huge festival trend. From shirts to shorts, everything was seemingly covered in the pattern around the 2010s. The visually heavy prints now feel pretty costume-like, compared to today’s more-refined festival fashion. Earthy tones and minimalist patterns feel more appropriate for today’s trends.

Rumors began buzzing after Target teased a new collaboration yesterday, and official word is finally out about the brand they're working with: Kylie Cosmetics!

A curated selection of Kylie Jenner's most-loved lip products like the Lip Kits will hit shelves at the Ulta section in select Target stores on June 9.

Target made the big reveal on June 6 with an Instagram post highlighting Kylie and a few of the lip products set to sell in Ulta at Target.

The caption reads: "THE NEWS IS OUT!🗞️ @KylieCosmetics is coming to #UltaBeautyatTarget 6/9. 💖 Set your alarms for this Sunday and be the first to shop your fave lip combos.💖✨"

"We are excited to launch Kylie Cosmetics at Ulta Beauty at Target," Jenner said in a press release. "I created Kylie Cosmetics to give access to the makeup products that I love and use, and I can't wait to give more people the opportunity to shop and experience our products in-store across the country."

Eleven different Kylie Cosmetics lip products will hit shelves: the Matte Lip Kit, Velvet Lip Kit, Matte Liquid Lipstick, Tinted Butter Balm, High Gloss, Matte Lipstick, Crème Lipstick, Precision Pout Lip Liner, Plumping Gloss, Lip Oil, and the Sugar Lip Scrub.

The lip lineup will be shoppable in-stores and online at Target.com/ultabeauty starting June 9.

Target fans and followers sounded off in the comments of the official announcement post quite unenthusiastically. Many commenters said the collaboration was not what they thought it would be, and that the new Kylie Cosmetics x Target partnership is "anti-climactic" and "missed the mark."

"Nah, we’re good," one person wrote.

"This feels like getting socks for Christmas," another said.

"I love Target so much, but hard pass on this one. So over thjs family.,😖🙄" someone else commented.

We already know that Netflix's Sirens is all about "socialites, scandal, and power struggles" (Gossip Girl, anyone?), but the streamer finally just announced when we can watch the new show, and it's even sooner than we hoped. In addition to confirming its early summer release date, we also have a first look at stars Meghann Fahy, Julianne Moore, and Kevin Bacon — and it makes me want to watch the show even more than I already did. (And considering the show is produced by Margot Robbie, I already really wanted to watch it). Here's your first look at Netflix's new dark comedy.

Keep reading for the first look at Sirens, coming to Netflix May 22, 2025.

'Sirens' is an "explosive" look at power.

Netflix

In Sirens, Devon (Meghann Fahy) is worried about her sister Simone (Milly Alcock). Or, more specifically, Simone's way-too-close relationship with her boss, socialite Michaela Kell (Julianne Moore). When Devon decides enough is enough, she shows up to set Simone straight, unaware the "explosive" Labor Day weekend at Michaela's "lavish beach estate" will change everything.

"Sirens is an incisive, sexy, and darkly funny exploration of women, power, and class," the show's official logline says. And you know what? That makes for some great TV. The show is executive produced by LuckyChap's Dani Gorin, Tom Ackerley, and Margot Robbie, as well as Colin McKenna.

And the 'Sirens' cast makes it a standout series.

Netflix

In the Sirens first look, we see Meghann Fahy as Devon, armed with what looks like a fruit basket and a scowl. Here's the full Sirens cast list:

  • Meghann Fahy as Devon DeWitt: Simone's concerned and persistent older sister.
  • Julianne Moore as Michaela Kell: a mysterious philanthropist & animal activist and Simone's boss.
  • Milly Alcock as Simone DeWitt: Devon's witty younger sister who works as Michaela's personal assistant.
  • Kevin Bacon as Peter Kell: Michaela's billionaire husband.
  • Glenn Howerton as Ethan Corbin III: the Kells' wealthy, if indulgent, bachelor neighbor
  • Bill Camp as Bruce DeWitt: Devon and Simone's dad who's dealing with a devastating diagnosis.
  • Felix Solis as Jose: the manager, gardener, and head of security of Cliff House.
  • Josh Segarra as Raymond: Devon's on-again-off-again boyfriend.
  • Trevor Salter as Jordan: the very handsome captain of Ethan's yacht.
  • Britne Oldford as Missy: the Kells' seasonal housekeeper.
  • Lauren Weedman as Patrice: the Kells' strictly-business personal chef.
  • Jenn Lyon as Cloe: the meanest member of "The Fates."
  • Erin Neufer as Lisa: a passionate, zealous part of "The Fates" trio.
  • Emily Borromeo as Astrid: the ditzy third member of "The Fates."

Netflix

And Julianne Moore's Michaela is all grace and poise, especially at home in her lavish estate. “This story has a lot of teeth,” series creator Molly Smith Metzler says in an interview with Tudum. “There are real moments of drama, and it’s going to make people uncomfortable. Operatic is a word I like to use to describe it. It’s a true dark comedy — and it’s got a Greek mythology vibe.”

“Julianne’s just the dream for this role because she does feel ethereal,” she continues. “She’s from another kingdom. She is not a normie.”

Here's when you can watch 'Sirens.'

Netflix

Sirens will stream on Netflix starting May 22, 2025.

How many episodes does Sirens on Netflix have?

Netflix

Sirens has five episodes total, all of which will be an hour long.

Where was Sirens filmed?

Much like its main characters, The Buccaneers hit the Apple TV+ scene with flash and fervor. We fell in love with the St. George sisters, longing to see them find romance and (more importantly) true happiness by any means necessary. We embraced each girl in all their messy, shocking, period drama glory. We watched until the very end, desperately wanting more! And after the popularity of the first season, it's no wonder the network renewed this dreamy show for a second season.

Keep reading for the latest news. (Note: This contains spoilers about season one's finale!)

The Buccaneers Season 2 Plot

We shouldn't be so pressed to discover easter eggs about season 2 of The Buccaneers, but we are! Thankfully Kristine Frøseth revealed the ways she differs from her character Nan St. George and what viewers can expect to see. Though Nan is often seen wearing corsets, Kristine prefers a more casual look. "She's very constricted," the actress said of her character (via People).

In terms of what to expect this season, Kristine didn't reveal season 2's plot (sorry fans). She did say, however, the characters won't be in close proximity like they were in season 1: "I think our characters just are a little bit more separated so we're not seeing each other as much. Last time, we all lived in the same building and it felt like college, and now our storylines are a little bit more spread out...I think that's the biggest change."

How does Katherine Jakeways feel about the series' renewal?

We had the opportunity to speak with series creator Katherine Jakeways,and she shared her enthusiasm about creating such a riveting period drama. "We're really excited for people to sort of get to know the world of it and meet these women and experience the female friendship of it," she says, hoping viewers "come out of it going, 'Wow these do feel like people that I know."

Now that The Buccaneers is renewed for another season, she told Apple TV+, "We know season one left audiences desperate to know what’s next for our buccaneers, so I’m absolutely delighted to have the opportunity to explore the further adventures of this smart, joyful, messy sisterhood.”

What did Apple TV+'s Europe Creative Director say about the new upcoming season?

Apple TV+

In the same press release, Jay Hunt admitted, "...we’re excited to be working with Katherine Jakeways and The Forge again on the next adventure for Nan and her friends." If you ask us, it sounds season two of The Buccaneers is off to a great start!

What happened in the season finale of The Buccaneers?

Apple TV+

Viewers watch as Nan St. George took a step back in order for her sister Jinny to have a chance to be happy. This leaves her in the position to move forward with her marriage to Theo, Duke of Tintagel, but it appears she her birth mother may be closer than she realized. Our other characters — like Mabel and Honoria — are left to decide how they want to live their lives as well.

It was a shocking cliffhanger and we can see why fans are thirsty for more.

Where can I watch "The Buccaneers" Season 1?

Apple TV+

All eight episodes of The Buccaneers are available to stream on Apple TV+. Just be sure to bake a few warm dessert recipes and grab a glass of wine to have while you binge watch them.
