Just this week, Kendall was also announced as the new global face of Estee Lauder – and her meteoric rise shows no signs of stopping!

Despite what some may think, Kendall says her success is due to her own work and not her famous family.

“In reality I worked pretty hard for this, running around doing tests,” she revealed in a teaser from her upcoming Nightline interview.

“It wasn’t like I just got it magically and it has just happened.”

In fact, the star has dropped her last name for all professional work and has also stopped her family from coming to see her shows.

“I think if my sister’s sitting in the front row, and my sister is who she is, it sounds weird, but it would have almost taken the attention away from what I’m trying to do on my own,” Kendall explained.
