Kim Kardashian’s Bob Gives Behind-the-Scenes Chic

Kim Kardashian may have just won couture week. On July 9, the entrepreneur was spotted in Paris as she arrived at Balenciaga’s Haute Couture Fall/Winter show outfitted in an all-white ensemble. With just her cell phone in hand, Kardashian kept her glam simple, opting for short pink nails and neutral makeup. This allowed her hairstyle to be the star of the show, and the look was nothing short of a trend-setting beauty moment.

To start, Kardashian revisited the hairstyle of the year: a bob haircut. Her version of the look featured flipped ends as well as kiss curls, giving the style a vintage feel. She modernized the haircut by placing jumbo no-crease hair clips across her head—the only accessories she styled besides a black pair of sunglasses.

This isn’t the first time that Kardashian has worn a bob haircut. Back in February, she styled an even shorter version of the flipped cut to attend the 15 Percent Gala—i.e, an annual celebration of the nonprofit that works with retailers to contractually commit 15 percent of their annual spending to Black businesses. That version of the look was sculpted to perfection, featuring a deep side part bang in Kardashian’s signature black hair color.

Bobs are the latest hairstyle to sweep Hollywood, with people like Gabrielle Union, Keira Knightley, and even Jodie Foster spotted in some variation of the short look. If you’ve been on the fence about committing to the trendiest hairstyle of the season, allow Kardashian’s latest look to be a timely source of inspiration.
