Just when you thought that the irrepressible rise of the Jenners might have reached its peak, Kylie and Kendall move back into the spotlight, this time joining the likes of Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai and Game of Thrones actress Maisie Williams on the TIME list of 2015’s most influential teens.
According to their website, TIME ‘considers accolades across numerous fields, global impact through social media and overall ability to drive news’, which makes the social media empress’s inclusion unsurprising.
Along with the inspirational Malala, who endured being shot by the Taliban after advocating girls’ education rights in Pakistan, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, other teenagers on the list include 13-year-old bow tie baron Moziah Bridges, who started his own business aged nine and 15-year-old snowboarder Chloe Kim.
In an interview with TIME, Kylie said: ‘Everything I do, I always start these huge trends.’ Referring to viral situations like the #KylieJennerLipChallenge. ‘I just want to inspire my fans to be whoever they want to be, because that’s what I’ve always done.’
Kendall has moved in her own direction, becoming a catwalk darling, Chanel muse and one part of a supermodel best friend trifecta, which includes Gigi Hadid and Cara Delevingne.
