Kim Kardashian is making the most of summer, and her latest family photo dump has fans doing a double take—this time because of how grown-up her niece Penelope Disick looks.
The mom of four shared a series of lakeside snapshots on Instagram, kicking off the carousel with a photo of herself paddleboarding alongside Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick’s 14-year-old daughter. Kim wore a black bikini with a matching bandana and oversized sunglasses, while Penelope sat behind her in a white two-piece swimsuit as the pair flashed peace signs for the camera.

Other photos showed Penelope riding in a golf cart with the Skims founder and her cousins, including Chicago West, who sat on Penelope’s lap as they smiled for the camera.
While fans enjoyed the family moments, many couldn’t believe how much Penelope has grown since viewers first met her as a baby on Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
“Omg Penelope growing up,” one fan commented.
Another predicted, “Penelope the next IT GIRL! I see it now!”
Others were surprised they didn’t recognize her at first glance.
“I thought Penelope was Kylie,” one person wrote.
“Omg I didn’t even recognize P. She’s so grown!!” another added.
Some fans even predicted a future in fashion.
“We see a future model on display. She got her Aunt Kenny model aura,” one commenter wrote, referring to Kendall Jenner.
Another summed up the general reaction: “Time flies! Look at Penelope—she’s grown up so fast.”
Penelope has recently been earning praise online for her laid-back, age-appropriate style, with many fans comparing her fashion choices to those of her cousin North West, Kim’s 13-year-old daughter.

Penelope Disick Praised For Age-Appropriate Style
Kourtney Kardashian and her 14-year-old daughter recently stepped out together, and fans praised the teenager’s style for being age-appropriate and refreshingly low-key compared to some of her famous cousins.
The mother-daughter duo was spotted grabbing lunch with friends at Great White in West Hollywood, California, where Penelope kept her look casual and comfortable. She wore a textured white collared shirt paired with oversized gray sweatpants and clog-style shoes.
Fans quickly took notice of Penelope’s understated outfit and flooded the comments with praise.
“So cute and normal,” one person wrote.
Another referenced Penelope’s cousin North’s more experimental fashion choices, commenting, “The difference between the two cousins is huge. Penelope looks great!”
North, 13, has made headlines for her bold and experimental fashion choices over the past few years. She has embraced a maximalist style influenced by cyber-goth aesthetics and 1990s streetwear, often featuring oversized silhouettes, neon blue hair, statement accessories, fake tattoos, facial piercings, and even grillz.
