Jenner has strutted her stuff on the world's catwalks for the top labels in the business but she is also known for the TV reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
Jenner is the daughter of Kris Jenner, who was married to late lawyer Robert Kardashian, and Caitlyn Jenner, formerly known as Bruce Jenner.
