Kenin won 4-6 6-2 6-2 against two-time major winner Muguruza on Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne.
The 21-year-old was a child prodigy, who started making television appearances from the age of five and hitting with the stars soon after.
She is the eighth first-time women’s champion in the past 12 Grand Slams.
Kenin, who turned 21 in November, is the youngest Australian Open champion since Russian Maria Sharapova in 2008.
