Kylie Jenner didn’t just build a cosmetics empire — she built a crew to go with it.

By late 2016, Kylie Jenner had become one of the most-watched 19-year-olds in the country, thanks to “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” and the runaway success of her lip kits. But the people standing next to her in nearly every Instagram post and red carpet photo were becoming just as recognizable. TheThings Celebrity’s video “10 Things You Didn’t Know About Kylie Jenner’s Squad” breaks down exactly who makes up that circle — and how a mix of childhood friends, rising musicians, and a dedicated glam team keep the youngest Jenner running.

• Kylie’s inner circle includes longtime best friend Jordyn Woods, singer-songwriter Justine Skye, musician Harry Hudson, social media personality Telana Lynum, and Sofia Richie.
• Justine Skye’s connection to the family runs deeper than friendship — both Kylie and Kendall Jenner made guest appearances in one of her music videos.
• Kylie’s professional glam squad — makeup artist Ariel Tejada, wig specialist Tokyo Stylez, and personal assistant Victoria Villarroel Gamero — travels with her as a daily fixture, not just an occasional hire.

The Core Friend Group

At the center of Kylie’s squad is Jordyn Woods, a friendship that predates any of the fame that came with Kylie Cosmetics or the family’s reality empire. Woods has been a constant at family events and on Kylie’s social feeds for years, making her the closest thing Kylie has to a sister outside of her actual siblings. Alongside her sits Sofia Richie, whose own famous-family pedigree — daughter of Lionel Richie — made her an easy fit into a friend group already stacked with Hollywood surnames.

Telana Lynum rounds out the social media side of the crew, a personality who built her own following well before linking up with Kylie’s orbit. Together, this group forms the backbone of what fans see documented across Snapchat stories, birthday shoots, and the kind of group outings that regularly rack up millions of views once they hit YouTube recap channels like TheThings Celebrity.

The Musicians In The Mix

Kylie’s squad isn’t just reality TV faces and stylists — it includes musicians actively building their own careers. Justine Skye, a singer-songwriter with her own growing catalog, has one of the more notable crossover moments in the group’s history: both Kylie and her sister Kendall Jenner appeared as guests in one of Skye’s music videos, blending the Kardashian-Jenner brand directly into Skye’s rollout.

Kylie and Kendall didn’t just show up to Justine Skye’s music video as fans — they appeared in it.

Harry Hudson fills out the musical side of the group as well, another artist who’s found himself woven into Kylie’s social circle and, by extension, her massive audience. It’s a dynamic that’s become common in modern celebrity friend groups — the kind covered in pieces like Celebs Who Started Out Friends And Ended Up Enemies, where proximity to fame can cut both ways.

The Glam Squad That Never Clocks Out

Beyond the friends who show up at parties and on vacations, Kylie relies on a professional team that functions as an extension of her squad. Makeup artist Ariel Tejada has one of the more unlikely origin stories in the group — Kylie discovered his work through an Instagram direct message before folding him into her regular routine, turning a fan interaction into a full-time gig.

Wig maker and hairstylist Tokyo Stylez handles the transformations behind many of Kylie’s most talked-about looks, while personal assistant Victoria Villarroel Gamero keeps the day-to-day machine running. Together, this trio is less “glam squad for an event” and more permanent staff — present across brand shoots, family appearances, and the kind of high-volume content schedule that reality stars like the Kardashian-Jenners depend on, the same behind-the-scenes machinery covered in Kim Kardashian Confirms What We All Suspected About North.

What separates Kylie’s crew from a typical famous-person entourage is how blurred the line is between “friend” and “employee.” Tejada was discovered through a DM, not an agency. Villarroel Gamero isn’t just booking flights — she’s part of the group photos. That overlap is exactly what TheThings Celebrity’s breakdown zeroes in on, and it’s why the squad has stayed a fixture of Kylie’s feed well past any single lip kit launch or KUWTK season.
