Kylie Jenneris treating her past self with kindness.

In her cover story forBritish Vogue’s “Big Fashion Issue,”the Kylie Cosmetics mogul, 27, opened up about her past cosmetic surgeries,including her breast augmentation surgery, and why she felt “pressure” from the world to “make the right decisions,” even as a teen.

“I just have to be gentle with myself because although I carried so much responsibility in the moment, I was just trying to do what was best for me. I was just trying my best as a human. I have to realize: ‘It’s OK, Kylie,’” she said. “Looking back, I’m like, ‘God, I was 17, 18.’”

“I feel like I’ve been in full mommy mode in my early 20s, [so] just to do something more for me after I had my son…” she said. “I’ve been way more into the fashion world and fashion week, and it’s been so much fun. I’m like, ‘Why didn’t I do this sooner?’ Every time I go to Paris things just happen. I love the fast pace. It’s a whole new world.”

Her stylists, sisters Alexandra and Mackenzie Grandquist, also praised Jenner’s natural eye for style, telling the outlet: “She has fun with it. She knows herself. [It’s] what makes her relatable to a generation of women,” adding, “She knows herself and her body very well.”
