Kendall Jenner faces backlash from fans over latest runway walk
Kendall Jenner received backlash after mum Kris shared footage of her as the new face of L’Oréal Paris.
The Kardashian-Jenners are never far from headlines, particularly following the release of the latest season of their Disney+ docu-series, The Kardashians.
Kendall is the only sister in the family to become a supermodel after launching her modelling career at the age of 14.

But fans have criticised her latest cat-walk strut, claiming that ‘runway modelling isn’t for her’...ouch!
The Victoria Secret model has walked for hundreds of high-end brands such as Versace, Burberry, and Jacquemus.
But it was recently announced that she was the newest face of makeup brand L’Oréal yesterday (October 1st), whilst in Paris for fashion week.
Speaking to Vogue, Delphine Viguier-Hovasse, L’Oréal Paris global brand president said: “L’Oréal Paris is honoured to announce our partnership with one of the most powerful women in the world.”
“It’s a new high in our mission to empower every woman, everywhere.
“At any other time, Kendall Jenner might have been as successful as she is now, but her worth and her choices and her image might have been defined or even controlled by others.
“But nobody defines Kendall Jenner but Kendall Jenner.
She is the embodiment of everything Gen-Z stands for.”
Some quite bold claims, but we’re here for female empowerment!
Commenters on Instagram, however, haven’t been so kind about the supermodel, claiming that her walk for L’Oréal wasn’t up to standard.
One person said: “She does not deserve this for even a second.”
Another said: ‘Kendall can’t walk.
“She’s gotten better but she cannot walk.”
A third joined in saying: “She’s an editorial model.
“Not a runway model.
“She’s not a charismatic person, don't put her on a stage.”
However, some users flooded to the comments to support the model.
One saying: “Kenny is living her best life and the haters are mad, stay mad!
“Go Kenny go.”
Another added: “Love a model that is smiling and happy! So many of the shows are devoid of any joy.”
A photographer added to the positive flurry of comments: “Her subtle movements are great.
“So much easier to decide if that’s the shot when the movements are tiny rather than dramatic.”
The Kardashians is currently streaming for a fourth season, and some serious drama has already gone down.
None other than Kim herself, and her sister Kourtney - who is currently pregnant - have been in an ongoing dispute over Kourtney’s wedding and Kim’s Dolcé and Gabbana show being too similar.
