Kris Jenner surprised just about everyone this week by debuting a stunning platinum blonde bob, a sharp turn from her long-known jet black pixie look. The transformation was shared via Instagram, with hairstylist Chris Appleton peeling back the process in a playful reveal video set to Sabrina Carpenter’s “When Did You Get Hot?”.
Fans erupted in the comments. Some mistook her for Kim, others praised her youthful glow. One person said, “She found the fountain of youth and told no one.” Another joked, “At first glance, I thought it’s Kim.”
Beyond the haircut, many are crediting the dramatic change to her recent facelift refresh. In an interview with Vogue Arabia, Kris openly talked about the decision, saying she first had a facelift about 15 years ago and revisited it because she wanted to look like the best version of herself. People and others have reported that she worked with plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Levine for her aesthetic work.
Her longtime stylist, Appleton, also chimed in. At a Ralph Lauren Fragrances event, he called himself “obsessed” with Kris’s beauty resurgence. He praised her confidence, her playfulness with style, and her willingness to reinvent over time, “the queen of doing that right now,” he said.
Not everyone’s buying it. A board-certified plastic surgeon recently claimed that Kris’s latest look might be AI-enhanced or digitally manipulated, pointing out changes in her jawline and chin that, in his view, would be extremely difficult to achieve surgically without noticeable evidence.
So what do we see? A bold hair move + a subtle (or not so subtle) facelift refresh = Kris Jenner giving us another moment to talk about aging, reinvention, and what looks real in the age of filters.
Whether you call it confident, shocking, or too much, she’s made a splash. And in her own words, she says she’ll probably be back to her black hair tomorrow. But for now, this blonde moment is getting noticed.
