When she's not walking the catwalk or shooting a campaign, Kendall Jenner is busy taking the clothes she wears on designer runways and transitioning them into real life. She does runway to reality at its finest: From black leather to strategic silhouettes, girl's got her style on lock. After all, she does have access to every designer in her Rolodex and isn't afraid to experiment with both new and old trends. (Have you seen her lizard skin-effect trousers?) Plus, she has Beyonce's stylist, Marni Senofonte, behind most of her highly publicized red carpet and street style looks. Although she's known for being the most "lax" KarJenner, her street style always has a bit of an edge while still remaining casual. Ahead, take a look at how a tomboy from Calabasas became a street style star.
