Kylie Jenner

Beauty Mogul and Reality Star

The Kylie Cosmetics founder became a literal voice of Meta AI in 2026, co-designing the $399 “Starfire” smart glasses and recording her own voice lines for the on-board assistant — privacy backlash included.

In her words

I recorded all these little lines. You put them on in the morning and it says, “rise and shine.” It just felt like something I’d actually reach for every single day.
Elle, 2026
I got to be involved in everything: the shape, the colors, the packaging, even the little chime sound it makes.
Elle, 2026

Biography

Kylie Jenner (born 1997 in Los Angeles) grew up on camera in Keeping Up with the Kardashians, founded Kylie Cosmetics in 2015 on the strength of her lip kits, and was crowned Forbes’s youngest “self-made” billionaire in 2019 — a title the magazine later walked back amid disputes over her company’s numbers. She launched the clothing line Khy in 2023 and remains one of the most-followed people on Instagram.

The voice of Meta AI

At a New York launch event on June 23, 2026, Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta unveiled its first in-house, celebrity-designed smart glasses line — and the flagship was the $399 Meta Glasses by Kylie, codenamed “Starfire.” Jenner co-designed the frames (a slim oval with a gem on the lens and a mirror-lined charging case) and, more significantly, recorded custom voice lines so the on-board Meta AI assistant can speak as her, from battery readouts to a “rise and shine” greeting when the glasses are put on. Meta had licensed her sister Kendall’s likeness for its short-lived 2023 chatbot persona “Billie”; Kylie’s deal went further, embedding her cloned voice in consumer hardware. She told Elle she was involved in everything from the campaign to the startup chime.

The backlash arrived on schedule. Critics at Salon, 404 Media and elsewhere argued the campaign puts a fashionable face on always-on recording — camera glasses have a documented history of covert filming and harassment — and privacy advocates objected to marketing surveillance hardware as a beauty accessory. Jenner pressed on with the campaign, framing the glasses as an everyday fashion piece rather than a gadget.

Jenner has offered no grand theory of artificial intelligence. Her stance is expressed entirely in commerce: while much of Hollywood fights to keep names, faces and voices away from AI systems, she sold hers into one — voluntarily, prominently, and with creative control.
