Kylie Jenner, the 26-year-old beauty mogul, has made a dazzling return to vibrant hair colors, and this time, it’s a nostalgic throwback to her iconic “King Kylie” era. On Tuesday, she took to Instagram to share three selfies showcasing her latest hair transformation—bubblegum pink waves that effortlessly stole the spotlight.
In the captivating shots, Jenner strikes her signature smize pose, allowing her pink-hued tresses to take center stage. The Barbiecore aesthetic is completed with matching blushed cheeks and rosy lipstick, creating a monochromatic beauty moment that captivates her followers.
The nature of Jenner’s latest hairdo remains shrouded in mystery. Whether these are throwback photos, the result of a wig, or immediately following a bleaching and coloring session is yet to be confirmed. Nevertheless, fans are ecstatic to witness the return of the “King Kylie” era, marked by a grunge aesthetic and an array of vibrant hairstyles.
Jenner playfully captioned the photos with, “Hiiiii remember me,” referencing her previous ventures into millennial pink hairdos, including metallic bangs and layers from the 2016 New York Fashion Week, a rose-gold mane in 2017, and a sleek pastel look in 2020.
Speculation arises that this daring style might be in preparation for a Kylie Cosmetics photoshoot, coinciding with the launch of a new foundation packaged in a distinct pink-capped bottle scheduled for January 17.
Despite recent experiments with various cuts and lengths, from bowl cuts to the “wet look” reminiscent of her sister Kim Kardashian’s Met Gala appearance, Jenner has consistently stuck to her natural black hair. Her most recent public appearance was at the 2024 Golden Globes, where she flaunted an elegant updo, attending the event alongside her boyfriend, nominee Timothée Chalamet.
The couple, linked since April 2023, opted not to walk the red carpet together but shared intimate moments inside The Beverly Hilton hotel. Jenner stunned in a romantic lace gown with an open back and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry, while Chalamet, nominated for his role in “Wonka,” donned a sparkling suit from Celine Homme by Hedi Slimane and accessorized with a Cartier 18K diamond necklace. Their PDA moments, caught on camera, circulated widely on social media, adding a touch of glamour to the star-studded event.
