At 28, the reality star's notable presence on the prestigious list underscores her dual role as a successful model and entrepreneur.

Reddit users pointed out the lack of skin retouching while expressing their opinions on what they deemed as "overdone" makeup. One user noted, "the obvious overlined lips and fake freckles are killing me but it’s nice to see her actual skin texture," while another commented, "the overlined lip is so distracting." Speculation surrounding Jenner's use of lip filler has been a recurring topic throughout the year, with social media users on platforms like Instagram noting her lips appearing "plumper" and excessively "outlined." Despite the ongoing rumors, Jenner has not officially addressed the latest round of speculation.

However, this is not the first time she has faced such scrutiny. In 2017, Jenner responded to similar discussions about her noticeably "bigger" pout on Instagram, explaining her reluctance to address such rumors directly. She shared her perspective with fans, stating, "I didn't even address it at the time. Because if I address it, people are going to be like, 'Oh, so she's defending herself—she must be guilty.'"
