A letter Kim Kardashian she wrote to her future self in 2015 resurfacedand fans point out that some of her predictions for 2025 missed the mark.
A decade old video for Glamour magazine offers insight into the reality star’s mindset a decade ago and her expectations for the future.
Fans had mixed reactions to the predictions, with some stressing their accuracy and others reflecting on failed predictions and the unpredictability of life, even for someone as influential as Kardashian.
“It’s interesting to see how even someone as calculating as Kim couldn’t have predicted all the twists and turns of life,” one fan commented, while another added: “She dreamed big, and honestly, she accomplished a lot more than most you could imagine in 10 years.”
In the letter, Kardashian addresses topics ranging from family and career to personal growth and even fashion choices.
As a style icon, Kardashian touched on her hopes for fashion in 2025. “Please tell me we’re not still wearing those crazy high heels!” she joked. While high heels continue to be a staple on the red carpet and high fashion settings, Kardashian has been seen embracing more practical styles in recent years, including Yeezy slides and other comfortable footwear options.
She also expressed curiosity about beauty trends, questioning whether contouring will continue to dominate the industry. Given the continued popularity of her beauty lines and the persistence of contouring as a makeup routine staple, this prediction has stood the test of time.
Kardashian envisioned her career taking off, expressing hope for continued success in her business ventures. “I hope you still run successful businesses and have at least one more baby,” she wrote. The mother of four has certainly surpassed this goal with her ventures such as SKIMS, KKW Beauty and her foray into law and criminal justice reform.
However, the letter also highlights her hope that she has fully embraced a more private lifestyle. “Remember to always take some time for yourself and slow down,” she encouraged her future self.
Kardashian also envisioned herself happily married and raising her children in a stable family environment. “Are you still married to the ‘perfect’ man?” she asked her future self years before finalizing her divorce from Kanye West in 2022.
She also expressed her wish that her siblings continue to thrive. “I hope Khloé finds her happily ever after and Kourtney lives her best life.
While her predictions for her sisters were well-intentioned, fans debated whether those sentiments were in line with their current personal lives, especially given the ups and downs documented on their reality show.
“Why did the Khloé part make me sad?” one user wrote, while another echoed: “The Khloé part is painful.”
Some people find Kim’s comments about Kourtney having kids funny.
“Kourtney having a baby right now is sending me into orbit,” said one user.
“Kourtney is not done having babies,” added another.
