Whether she's falling flat on her face or co-opting the resistance in the name of soda pop, Kendall Jenner is the the perfect blank canvas on which to paint the specific anxieties of being alive in 2017. As the world fidget spins madly on, Jenner's always just fine in the end.

So it's about time the paparazzi caught her (in fashionably tiny sunglasses) clutching the accessory of the moment. You can just feel all her controversies spinning off into the ether.

Jenner smiles, perhaps soothed by the spinner's rotations, and doesn't look where she's walking because she knows everything will be alright.
