Kendall Jenner "Kardashian Stepsister", stuns braless at Marc Jacobs show (Watch Video)
Kendall Jenner became a real fashion model at New York Fashion Week on Thursday, but at first, nobody even noticed.
"Kendall was unrecognizable. No one backstage knew who she was," an insider told FOX411. "The photographers and backstage press ignored her."
The 18-year-old reality starlet bared her chest when she walked the runway for the Marc Jacobs show. Sporting a short wig and severe makeup, Jenner walked the catwalk in a completely see-through long sleeve V-neck sweater, sans bra.
Our source said that backstage before the show, Jenner was "relieved that no on recognized her. She liked the fact that nobody could tell it was her."

Oscar Nominee Hollywood Actress Shocks Bid Audience With Confession "I Am Gay"
Actress
Ellen Page, who was nominated for an Oscar for her role in "Juno," came
out as a lesbian on Friday at a Las Vegas conference for gay teens.
"I am tired of hiding and I am tired of lying by omission," the 26-year-old actress said in a speech that drew roaring support from an audience at the Time to Thrive conference sponsored by the Human Rights Campaign.
"I'm here today because I am gay. And because ... maybe I can make a difference," she said. "To help others have an easier and more hopeful time. Regardless, for me, I feel a personal obligation and a social responsibility."
Page, who in 2007 played a pregnant teen in "Juno," has also starred in "Inception", "To Rome with Love" and "X-Men: The Last Stand."
Page is also working on "Freeheld," a drama about a terminally ill police detective fighting to assign her retirement benefits to a lesbian lover.
Page said in her speech that she suffered for years because she was scared to be public about her sexuality.
"My spirit suffered, my mental health suffered and my relationships suffered," she said. "And I'm standing here today, with all of you, on the other side of all that pain."
The Human Rights Campaign, a lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender advocacy group that posted her speech on its website, congratulated Page for completing the "deeply personal and arduous journey" of coming out.
Page in her speech also praised others who have taken similar steps, such as athlete Michael Sam, who announced he was gay this month and could become the National Football League's first openly homosexual player.
