Kim Kardashian looks unrecognizable in 2008 throwback with Vanessa Lachey and Carmen Electra
Kim Kardashian has changed a lot over the years.
The reality star looked like a completely different person in a vintage photo Vanessa Lachey just shared in celebration of Carmen Electra’s birthday.
The 2008 pictures were quite the throwback, showing the bombshell trio during a taping of the MTV favorite Total Request Live.

Then and now: Kim, seen left in another picture taken from the 2008 MTV event and right, in February this year
‘Happy Birthday (yesterday) @carmenelectra….,’ Love Is Blind hostess Vanessa wrote in the caption. ‘This #TRLtuesday is dedicated to that time in 2008 when you me and @kimkardashian were promoting our movie!’
Kim, Carmen and Vanessa were all in the widely-panned action spoof Disaster Movie.
Lachey was doing double duty, as she was also one of TRL’s hosts.
It was hard to believe the girl on the far left was Kim.
Kardashian was dressed for the era, donning a silky pearl-hued blouse with a long vest and blue jeans. Tall boots offered another of-the-era touch. The flirty look was almost a 180 from Kim’s current uniform.
The other girls also looked like something from a time capsule.
Carmen went for late 2000s chic in a pair of white jeans and a vintage tee shirt. Meanwhile, Vanessa went for a girly teal dress and pageant queen hair.
Former Dancing With The Stars contestant Vanessa continued her caption with a ‘fun fact’ about Carmen and her husband Nick.
‘Fun Fact: Carmen went to the same performing arts high school as @nicklachey,’ she wrote. ‘She played Tiger Lily in Peter Pan and Nick was one of the lost boys.

Thanks! Carmen commented back but Kim didn’t seen to get the memo
‘Challenge: Find me those pics!!!’ she joked before finishing with a ‘Happiest Birthday, Babe!’ for the former Playboy pinup.
Carmen commented back, saying ‘Yeeeee [high five] good time [heart] thanx 4 the bday shoutout & remembering some fun times [fire.]’
But Kim didn’t seemed to memo, forgetting to leave a comment on the old photo.
The aspiring lawyer has long been adamant she’s never had any plastic surgery, but only relies on heavy makeup contouring to shape her face.
Talking to her longtime makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic about her nose, she said: ‘I never had my nose done.
‘Everyone thought I did, and I said wait until I have kids because your real features come out.’
She also said certain photos totally distort how her face looks.
‘Pictures, I swear, I look at them and would be like, “Wow the bump looks so much bigger in some pictures than in others.”‘
Before that she addressed the surgery issue in 2012, telling Harper’s Bazaar: ‘Everyone always thinks I’ve had my nose done or my lips done or just anything to my face like besides Botox, which to me isn’t plastic surgery.
‘People always say I’ve had a nose job and they’ll use before and after pictures but the after picture is really taken before. It’s so funny, it just depends on how your nose is contoured.’
Over the years Kim’s style has also undergone quite the transformation.
While partial to trendier, youthful pieces in her early days, everything changed when she began dating Kanye West, who then took over her styling choices.
