Kendall Jenner has made herself into somewhat of a hair chameleon of late. Typically sporting her famous family’s signature long brunette tresses, the supermodel has eschewed these traditional beauty values by increasingly chopping, cropping and dyeing her lengths, much to our delight.
There was the transformation that started it all, the creamy ginger tone of copper-red she debuted for Prada’s Fall/Winter 2022 collection presentation during Milan Fashion Week, a witchy layered crop with Audrey Hepburn baby bangs and Clara Bow drawn-on eyebrows for Marni’s FW24 campaign, and of course the Kris Jenner tousled pixie she wore for Calvin Klein’s beachy shoot.
Having clearly caught the beauty bug, the 28-year-old ended New York Fashion Week with one final new look: a quietly luxurious shade of blonde inspired by perennial 90s minimalist muse, Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy.
Taking the plunge into lighter territory sometime between appearing in Alaïa’s landmark show at the Guggenheim Museum and appearing at the US Open, Jenner’s new golden colourway has reinforced her as the paragon of understated elegance.
Staying true to her inspiration, Jenner even wore her own versions of the former publicist’s go-to accessories. In lieu of the acrylic tortoiseshell headband and black oval-frame sunglasses, the reality star wore a preppy black stretch headband, a tortoiseshell claw clip and skinny rectangular-shaped frames that have become synonymous with the ‘office siren’ aesthetic.
Hair colourist Jenna Perry revealed that it took her two days to lift Jenner’s dark roots and ends into this soft buttery shade. (Not quite as drastic as Kim Kardashian and Chris Appleton’s 14-hour bleaching session to achieve Marilyn Monroe’s look for the 2022 Met Gala, but we appreciate Jenner’s patience and prioritisation of her hair’s health.)
The 818 Tequila founder previously went blonde in 2019, albeit briefly, for Burberry’s SS20 runway show during London Fashion Week. The star also proved her penchant for the look while dressing as Pamela Anderson in Barb Wire for her Halloween-themed 25th birthday. In honour of the change, revisit every one of Kendall’s major hair moments below.
