Kylie Jenner Looks Different in New Puma Ad
it’s no secret that Kylie Jenner has had some work done.
Kylie’s lips have been a subject of fascination for as long as she’s been a social media fashion maven, and after more than a year of denials the reality star finally copped to getting “temporary fillers” back in May of 2015.
In the months since that not-so-shocking revelation, Kylie has maintained that despite rumors to the contrary, she has not undergone any additional cosmetic procedures.
Obviously, fans continue to have their doubts.
There have been constant reports about Kylie getting breast implants and boob jobs, and we can’t even count the rumors about what she’s had done to her face.
Many celebs are subjected to that sort of speculation, but in Kylie’s case, we don’t need to rely on reports about surreptitious meetings with cosmetic surgeons, or long, unexplained absences from social media.
The proof is right in front of our faces – and written all over hers:
That’s an image from Kylie’s new Puma marketing campaign, and is it just us, or does she look a little … different?
She doesn’t appear to have made any MAJOR changes, but we see so much of Kylie’s face on a daily basis (she is, and ever shall be, the Queen of the ‘Gram) that even minor alterations are glaringly obvious.
We’ll probably never know for sure, as cosmetic work is pretty much the only thing that the ladies of the Kardashian-Jenner clan are private about.
But we think it’s safe to say that Kylie is either heavily ‘toxed and heavily ‘shopped in this pic.
Interestingly, Kylie’s work with the sneaker company represents something of an eff you to her famous brother-in-law, Kanye West.
Her endorsement has been a source of family controversy ever since it was announced, with Kanye declaring he’d do everything in his power to stop it dead in its tracks:
“1000% there will never be a Kylie Puma anything,” West tweeted back in February of 2016.
“That’s on my family! 1000% Kylie is on Yeezy team!!!”
He added:
“Puma we gone give you your measly million dollars back!!! Never try to divide the family!!!”
We guess Puma ponied up enough measly dollars to change Kylie’s mind.
Those procedures aren’t gonna pay for themselves!

Kylie Jenner Throws It WAY Back in New Puma Ad
We already knew that Kylie Jenner likes old things.
Just take a look at her boyfriend.
But we had no idea she liked things this old…
In her latest print on for Puma, the 18-year old reality star is using technology that hasn’t been around itself in about 18 years, posing for the camera while talking on a pay phone.
Yes, a pay phone.
For those unaware, a pay phone works just like an iPhone.
Well, except that you can’t text from it. Or send photos with is. Or put it in your pocket.
You can’t download Instagram off of it or use Snapchat or purchase Kim Kardashian: Hollywood with it or anything like that.
You can only talk to other people with it. After putting coins in a slot in order to do so.
If you watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online, or were born after the year 2000, you probably have never seen one in use.
Why is Kylie using such a contraption in 2016?
Because Puma is celebrating an a milestone with this campaign.
The PUMA Suede started its story in 1968,” reads the caption to the above photo.
“Worn by athletes, b-boys, and hip hop stars of the day. Today, the story continues on the feet of another icon: PUMA Suede, meet @KylieJenner.”
Yes, it just referred to Kylie Jenner as a an icon pretty much.
Tragically, to those of her generation, this is fairly accurate.

Kylie Jenner Poses for Puma: See the Photos!
Kylie Jenner has officially stuck it to Kanye West.
The 18-year old shared a pair of Instagram photos over the weekend, both of which represent her new partnership with Puma.
“Excited to reveal my campaign for the @PUMA Fierce, a lightweight trainer with zero excuses, available starting 4/1 on PUMA.com, PUMA retail stores, and select retailers worldwide,” Jenner wrote as a caption to the above image, adding:
“The next level starts here #ForeverFierce.”
In the two pictures, the Lip Kit guru dons a royal blue branded sports bra with matching patterned running capris and high-tongued sneakers.
Alongside Kylie on the concrete wall are puma claw scratches in the shape of an X.
Below, meanwhile, Jenner rocks the same outfit while actively working out.
Back in February, after news first broke of Kylie signing a seven-figure deal with Puma, Kanye West came out and took major exception to the alleged deal.
“1000% there will never be a Kylie Puma anything. That’s on my family! 1000% Kylie is on Yeezy team!!!” Kanye virtually screamed on February 9.
About a week later, however, West basically gave Jenner his blessing to sign on with the company.
“She already signed,” West told TMZ on February 17. “And I was mad for a little bit. I’m really happy for her, though.”
Said Adam Petrick, the brand’s global brand and marketing director, via statement:
“I am pleased and excited to be able to confirm that Puma is indeed working with Kylie Jenner. Kylie will be featured in the brand’s Spring/Summer women’s training campaign launching in April 2016.
“Kylie represents a fresh and exciting new era for fashion and we couldn’t think of a more fitting and influential female to headline this campaign for Puma.”

Kylie Jenner Defies Kanye West, Signs Deal With Puma
The last few weeks have seen so many insane Kanye West Twitter rants that it’s tough to keep track of them all.
But amongst all the usual Kanye bluster and BS, one of the more memorable tirades was directed at Puma, and featured Kanye informing the sneaker company that he basically owns Kylie Jenner.
Apparently, Kanye caught wind of the fact that Kylie had been offered a seven-figure endorsement deal by the popular brand.
As you may know, Kanye designs hideous sneakers that are manufactured by Adidas, and he saw Kylie’s new opportunity as a conflict of interest.
So, as he does when he feels he’s been publicly disrespected (or when he gets mayo on his BLT, even though he TOTALLY SAID NO MAYO, BRUH!!!”), Kanye took to Twiter to express his seething outrage:
“1000% there will never be a Kylie Puma anything. That’s on my family! 1000% Kylie is on Yeezy team!!!” quoth Yeezus.
“Puma we gone give you your measly million dollars back!!! Never try to divide the family!!!”
Yes, the man went full-Don Corleone over some freakin’ sneakers, and apparently his over-reaction did not go over well with the Kard clan.
Maybe it was Kylie’s way of asserting her independence, or Kris’ way of reminding Kanye that she owns Kylie, but for whatever reason, Kylie reportedly went right ahead and signed with Puma.
We would give Kylie props for making Kanye look stupid, but it was more like an assist.
As usual, he did a fine job of making himself look like an idiot.

Kanye West to Puma: Kylie Jenner is MINE!!!
Kanye West’s new album, Swish Waves T.L.O.P., drops tomorrow, which means the man has been even more hungry for media attention than usual.
That may help explain why Yeezy’s Twitter page has been an embarrassing mess lately.
No, we’re not talking about Kanye’s rant about Wiz Khalifa.
In fact, at the moment, we’re not even talking about West’s idiotic “BILL COSBY INNOCENT!!!” tweet (though we certainly won’t be forgetting that one any time soon).
For now, we’re focusing on Kanye’s decision to treat his 18-year-old sister in law like a walking billboard for his ugly sneakers and ludicrously overpriced clothing.
Amidst all the drama surrounding Yeezy’s defense of a man who has admitted to drugging women for the purpose of having sex with them while they’re unconscious, folks have mostly overlooked his bizarre beef with every sneaker company on the planet, including Puma – the brand that committed the unforgivable sin of offering Kylie Jenner $ 1 million to endorse their products.
Even though he’s only ever shown talent for making music, Kanye wants to be the top dog in every field, and apparently he feels that Kylie’s lucrative Puma deal would draw attention away from the hideous moon boots he slapped his name on, so he recently attacked the company in yet another bizarre social media rant:
“Puma we gone give you your measly million dollars back!!! Never try to divide the family!!!” Kanye tweeted last night.
“1000% there will never be a Kylie Puma anything. That’s on my family! 1000% Kylie is on Yeezy team!!!”
Kylie, of course, has demonstrated remarkable business savvy over the past two years, and you would think she’d be able to decline the offer on her own, but apparently Kanye doesn’t see it that way.
So not only has he cost her a 7-figure deal that probably would’ve required her to do nothing more than occasionally wear Puma products in public, he’s also made her toxic to other brands, as companies will now fear that if they approach Kylie, they’ll be publicly slandered by Kanye.
This guy clearly has a hard time grappling with the idea that young women are capable of making their own decisions. Good thing he doesn’t have a daught…oh, wait.
