16 Times Kylie Successfully Stole Kim's Thunder

Love them or loathe them, the Kardashian-Jenner sisters are some of the biggest celebrities in the world right now. They're models, businesswomen, mothers, reality TV stars… You can't go a day without seeing them in the headlines or on your TV screen! While each sister has her own niche - Kendall with her modeling, for example, and Kourtney with her focus on motherhood - most of the girls are on the same level of fame. They're household names all over the world.

However, two members of this high-profile family have thrust themselves into the spotlight more than their peers. Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner can often be seen competing for the title of Most Famous Sister Of All. While Kylie was just six years old when Kim's infamous tape first made her famous, she's arguably overtaken her sister in terms of her media presence. Not that Kim would ever admit it, of course! The two have apparently come to blows over the topic in the past, and we can imagine it's a pretty sore point at family gatherings. Still, Kim has to admit that there are quite a few examples of her youngest sister managing to steal her thunder. Here are just a few of these instances…

16 When Kylie First Admitted That She'd Had Lip Fillers, Nobody Cared About Kim's Features Anymore

While Kylie is now famous for her perfectly styled pout, she hasn't always had to full and luscious lips we see today. In fact, her appearance has quite radically changed over the past few years. Speculation that Jenner had undergone lip augmentation first emerged in 2014, although she strenuously denied that she'd had any work done. Still, stories about her mysteriously large lips continued to dominate gossip sites, pushing Kim's attempts at publicity to second place.

The media furor surrounding Kylie only increased in 2016 when the young star finally admitted that she had, in fact, had lip injections. While it was only really confirming something that we already knew, the press still seized the opportunity to pick about Kylie's motivations and justifications for having such a procedure. Sorry, Kim - everyone was too concerned about your sister's facial features to give you and Kanye the time of day!

15 When Kylie Upstaged Kim At Kanye's Yeezy Fashion Show

Speaking of Kanye, Kylie has managed to steal the thunder of both Kim and her husband at past events. A prime example was the 2016 New York Fashion Show when Kanye's Yeezy fashion line took center stage. While all eyes should have been on Kim and her husband - especially considering it was Kanye's work being showcased - the media spent more time focussing on Kylie's attire. To be fair, Kylie did show up in a pretty revealing crop top and shorts ensemble that left little to the imagination. However, she did still manage to notably steal attention away from her elder sister and towards herself. Many observers felt that the then-teenage Kylie had then officially surpassed Kim when it came to clinching the spotlight. The photos from the event don't lie: they overwhelmingly feature Kylie over Kim. The latter was probably not too pleased about that!

14 When Kylie First Released Her Lip Kits, And KKW Cosmetics Had A Long Way To Go

While all of the Kardashian-Jenner sisters have launched various business endeavors over the years, Kylie is undoubtedly the most successful entrepreneur of them all. Her lip kits and eyeshadow palettes have become a beauty industry phenomenon. Everyone wants the chance to try out the products, but it's becoming increasingly difficult - they tend to sell out within hours of being restocked! At the age of just 20, Kylie has become one of the most promising young businesswomen in the world. The beauty industry is constantly waiting to see what she'll do next just so they can try to emulate it. As for Kim's entrepreneurial exploits… Well, none of them have quite reached the heights of Kylie Cosmetics. While her clothing lines and makeup ranges have seen moderate success, they've not quite reached the sellout sensation levels of her younger sister's products.

13 When Kylie Dyed Her Hair Blue Just Before Kim's Wedding, Even When Kim Told Her Not To

Trying to upstage her sister's wedding?! Surely Kylie wouldn't go that far?! Well… As it happens, she did, and she kind of succeeded. Kim and the rest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan were all pretty furious when the then 17-year-old Kylie dyed her hair a pretty ostentatious blue color shortly before Kim's upcoming nuptials to Kanye. According to reports, Kim went absolutely ballistic at her little sis when she saw what she'd done. Kim was convinced that Kylie's blue hair would "ruin everything"… Perhaps a bit extreme there, Kim! Still, Kylie's choice did take a lot of the press attention away from the blushing bride herself and towards her bright blue barnet. And as if that's not bad enough, Kylie's conduct at the wedding was another sore point for her older sis…

12 When Kylie Was Caught Smooching Jaden Smith At Kim's Wedding Reception

While Kylie was rocking her bright blue hair at Kim and Kanye's wedding, the bold new look apparently attracted quite a bit of attention of the male variety. One guest who seemed quite enamored with Kylie at the time was Jaden Smith, son of Will and Jada. Jaden infamously rocked up to the ceremony wearing a slightly strange white Batman costume, one of many 'eccentric' fashion choices he's made over the years. Kylie apparently liked it, though, as she and Jaden were reportedly caught making out at the wedding reception! While Kylie later denied that this smooching session had taken place, it was too late. The press had already got wind of the alleged incident, and they ran with it. Yet more of Kim's wedding day thunder was stolen by Kylie. Oops…

11 When Kylie Posted A Bikini Selfie Just After Kim's Infamous Nude Insta Post

While the time of this particular Kylie Jenner Instagram selfie could have been mere coincidence, we highly doubt it. Quite a few times now, Kylie has posted an Internet-breaking selfie just after Kim herself shared an especially raunchy snap. Each time, Kim's efforts have ultimately been upstaged by her younger sis. In this case, Kylie decided to post a bikini selfie that highly resembled one of Kim's nude shoots just after said shoot became public. Remember Kim's pic that simply had a black bar covering her chest? Well, Kylie's bikini top in the photo just happens to look exactly like that black bar. Is this a case of imitation signaling flattery, or a straight-up attempt at thunder-stealing? Probably the latter, let's be real - and it worked. Kylie is no fool when it comes to getting publicity, that's for sure!

10 When Kylie Straight-Up Told Kim That She Was Now The More Famous Sister

They say that honesty is the best policy, but we're not sure that Kim agreed in this case! Back in 2016, Kim was left red-faced when Kylie straight-up told her that she was now the more famous sister! If that's not a severe case of thunder being snatched, I don't know what is. Although Kylie presumably made these comments in a private conversation with his older sis, the press obviously got wind of it. Everyone quickly began to speculate about whether Kylie's words were true and generally agreed that they were. How awkward for Kim! Not only does your teen sister have a tantrum and say she's better than you, the whole Internet seemingly agreed with her! At that point, Kylie also claimed that she no longer needed to appear in Keeping Up With The Kardashians to remain at her peak level of fame. While that may be the case, the starlet clearly hasn't decided to give up on the reality show yet! We're looking forward to seeing footage of her and baby Stormi sometime soon.

9 When Kylie's Instagram Engagement Levels Overtook Kim's

While Kim has always had more Instagram followers than Kylie, this is no longer the number that counts. Many social media stars now measure their success through 'engagement levels' - in simple terms, how many people like and comment on their pictures. Despite her higher follower count - 108 million to Kylie's 104 million - Kim has most definitely been overtaken by Kylie in the engagement stakes. More people like and comment on Kylie's snaps, and they tend to go viral a lot quicker. Oh dear - looks like Kim has been upstaged once again! She was once the queen of social media, but Kylie seems to be coming for her crown. Kim's apparently not pleased about this - it's one of many points of contention between these two sisters. Who knew that the opinion of strangers on the Internet could affect a sisterly relationship so much?

8 When Kylie Started Selling T-Shirts That 'Borrowed' One Of Kim's Photoshoot Concepts

Kylie's range of T-shirts - initially a joint venture with her sister Kendall - has been the source of a fair few controversies over the years. The sisters were firstly accused of ripping off various band T-shirt designs in their first, rock-and-roll inspired range. The criticism of their products was so strong that the endeavor was eventually canceled. However, Kylie clearly didn't learn her lesson regarding 'borrowing' designs - she went on to anger her own sister with her next fashion design! Kylie was spotted modeling a T-shirt featuring a pretty raunchy photo of herself. However, onlookers quickly realized that Kylie's pose and state of undress were very similar to a photo shoot that Kim had done a few years earlier. Yet more press for Kylie ensued, and Kim was once again overshadowed. Again, this incident apparently caused quite the rift between the sisters! We're starting to feel quite bad for Kim…

7 When Kylie's App Totally Outsold Kim's Within A Few Hours

Okay, Kim was kind of asking for trouble in this case. Back in 2015, Kim, Kylie, Kendall, and Khloe all released apps on the very same day. While all four sisters obviously wanted their apps to succeed, the race for the best-seller was always going to be between Kim and Kylie. Even then, these two sisters had become the two most famous faces in their entire family. While Kim had clearly hoped to trump Kylie, in this case, she was left sorely disappointed. Kylie's app raced to the top of the charts, outselling Kim's pretty substantially. There was no longer any question about which sister was the savviest media mogul. It was apparently at this point that Kardashian-Jenner momager Kris shifted her focus from Kim to Kylie. Oh, how the mighty fall…

6 When Kylie Became The Most-Viewed User On Snapchat - Way Ahead Of Kim

Kylie hasn't just outdone Kim in the app and Instagram stakes - oh no. She's also totally dominated the attention of millions of Snapchatters worldwide. While every celebrity and their dog seems to have an account on the photo-sharing app these days, Kylie's following is unlike any other. One word from Miss Jenner can seemingly make or break the app's fortunes - but more on that later! While Kim's Snaps tend to go unnoticed these days unless they contain something super newsworthy, pretty much everything Kylie posts goes viral in minutes. She's had her fair share of controversies thanks to the app - raunchy photos and videos showing potentially illegal substance taking among them. However, there's pretty much nothing Kim can do at this point to become a more successful Snapchatter than Kylie. She's been well and truly outdone this time.

5 When Forbes Named Kylie The Youngest Star On Its 100 Highest-Paid Celebrities List

While Kim once held the title of being the only Kardashian-Jenner to feature on the Forbes 100 Highest-Paid Celebrities list, that all changed in 2017. Kylie entered the list at #59 and broke records in the process. While Kim still placed higher than Kylie, coming in at #47, her younger sister outshone her once again by becoming the youngest entry on the list. At just 19 years old compared to Kim's 37, it was seriously impressive that somebody so young could chart so highly on the list. Things are only going to get better for Kylie if financial projections are to believed. It's rumored that her net worth will soon rocket to around $1 billion by 2022 thanks to the success of her cosmetics company. That's more than the current wealth of all of her sisters combined! While money isn't everything, we imagine Kim is more than a little bit salty about this one…

4 When Kylie's Pregnancy Rumors First Began - Just As Kim Announced She Was Having Baby Number Three

In theory, the news that Kim and Kanye were expecting baby number three via surrogate should have been the biggest pregnancy announcement of 2017. Fans had been closely following Kim's fertility struggles and were pretty invested in watching her young family grow. However, Kylie came along and threw a spanner in the works when rumors began to spread that she too was expecting. While we didn't get official confirmation of Kylie's pregnancy until after baby Stormi was born, the media went into a frenzy thanks to all of the speculation. Far more stories emerged regarding Kylie's potential pregnancy than covering Kim's actual impending arrival. While Kylie's young age and air of secrecy vastly increased the interest in her journey to motherhood, this is surely yet another sign that Kylie's fame has eclipsed that of Kim's.

3 When Kylie Had Her Baby Shower The Day After Kim's

It wasn't just the news of Kylie's pregnancy that managed to upstage Kim's own baby news. We've also learned that in an incredibly shrewd move, Kylie planned her baby shower for the day after Kim's. Wow! That's a pretty blatant attempt at thunder-stealing, Kylie! Even though the younger sister's baby shower wasn't supposed to be public knowledge at the time, it's still pretty shady that it was so clearly meant to upstage Kim's - even if only among the sisters' family and friends. Kylie's pajama party-themed bash looked like a lot of fun, too, if the clips from her birth announcement video are anything to go by! While Kim and Kylie seem to be getting on well after the birth of their children, you have to wonder if words were had about that scheduling choice…

2 When Rumors Circulated That Kylie Was Planning A Wedding Even Bigger Than Kim's

In the wake of baby Stormi being welcomed into the world, an insane amount of rumors have been flying about regarding what Kylie's going to do next. A lot of speculation has surrounded her relationship with her baby daddy, Travis Scott. Suggestions have ranged from the pair having already broken up to an imminent wedding being planned! We have no idea which of these stories is true - if any - but of course, the press couldn't resist another opportunity to pit Kylie and Kim against each other. Not only was Kylie rumored to be getting married, it was also claimed that she's deliberately organizing a ceremony bigger and better than Kim's! Who even has the time or money to be that petty? Well, actually, if anyone does, it's the Kardashian-Jenners. If Kylie does get married, maybe Kim will turn up with blue hair to try to ruin things? It's worked in the past, apparently…

1 When Kylie Decided That Snapchat Was Over - And The Company's Shares Tumbled

If anyone ever doubted Kylie's massive media influence, there's no denying it now after her most recent Snapchat incident. After the app's hugely unpopular update was rolled out last month, Jenner tweeted stating that she was totally over it and was basically no longer Snapchatting. This one Tweet turned out to have a lot of power. Snapchat's stocks plummeted by 6% in the hours after Kylie's comment was posted, reportedly losing the company approximately $1.3 billion in value. Wow. Would Kim criticizing the app have the same effect? I guess we'll only know if she does it. Whatever the case, this simple incident speaks volumes about exactly which Kardashian-Jenner sister is boss these days. Kylie owns a hugely successful company, is a total style icon, and almost broke a social media app's business overnight. Move along, Kim: Kylie's stolen your thunder and already resold it on the black market. There's a new Queen Bee in town!
