While we are waiting for our TCS members who are more knowledgeable in cat breeds, I just want to tell you that you've got such a pretty cat 
Yeah, the ears are fabulous! The breed heritage will possibly be more clear as she become adult.
Still, the probability is high there is an Ancestor, granddad or possibly even a Father.
What modern breed has ridiculously big ears, and protruding muzzles? The siamese / orientale, and the cornish rex come nearest to my mind.
While modern siamese and Orientale are relatively common, and Cornish rex isnt common at all, I do have the Cornish Rex as the main favorite to sue for paternity payments....
Technically, she is of course a domestic shorthair in the bicolor pattern.
The tabby markings I think its ghost markings, its quite common on kittens, and tend to diminish or even disappear on adults.
If she were a tabby for real, it should be more clearly visible.

She’s so pretty! If you want to be technical about it, without having pedigree papers, she would be considered a blue and white bicolor Domestic Shorthair. But, with her big ears, slender body, and long legs, I agree with StefanZ that she could have some Oriental or Cornish Rex ancestry. Oriental was my first thought looking at her, but, thinking about it, I think Cornish Rex is closer, because she has the egg-shaped head and big eyes of a Cornish Rex. So, even though she doesn’t have a curly coat like a Cornish Rex, I think that she could have some Cornish Rex in her. If you’re curious, you could get her DNA tested to see what breeds she may have genetic similarities to.

I would describe your adorable kitten as a blue and white domestic shorthair. She is really cute and she does have a special look to her!
Most cats are simply domestic cats and are not mixed with any breed. Even though your kitten has an interesting look, it is most likely that she simply has her own unique combination of traits from the domestic cat gene pool.
Considering that she is a kitten, I actually don't think she has long legs or a slender body... Her body structure looks fairly sturdy to me, for a young female. I'm puzzled as to why other posters think she looks slender and long-legged?
Also, her muzzle is actually pretty short for a domestic cat, so I'm not really seeing a resemblance to Cornish Rex or Siamese/Oriental. The Siamese/Oriental breed has a long wedge shaped head, and the Cornish Rex has a long oval shaped head, longer than it is wide.
I agree that she has large ears, but that may just be because she is a kitten. And she does appear to have a very short coat, which can tend to exaggerate certain features such as her ears and eyes (similar to when a cat is wet during a bath). This may be why people are seeing exaggerated features?

her upper body fur, mostly on her head, is definitely shorter than her lower half so it could possibly be exaggerating her ears i guess. and she is actually kinda skinny rn, but shes also sick atm with an upper respiratory infection so i thought she could possibly be more slender as a symptom of that. thank you for the answer, i guess we'll just have to see how her features change as she gets older ^-^ !
