In children’s history books in the future, they will divide time into BB (Before Bleach) and AB (After Bleach) to commemorate the iconic watershed moment of Brunette Kylie Jenner becoming Blonde Kylie Jenner.
A few days ago, King Kylie bleached her hair and left us/me shook. It looks so good, and she did it just in time for New York Fashion Week, and she’s been using her blonde ‘do to go into some daring new looks. Rather than relying on her usual choices of early ‘90s grunge inspiration, Kylie went full on-glamatron.
Every Kardashian-Jenner needs a blonde moment: Kim had hers, Khloe’s living her blonde dream, Kourtney’s gone blonde, even Kendall donned a blonde wig for a fashion show. But Kween Kylie does it, and does it best.
Kylie was originally going for a honey-blonde look, but found that the bleach worked quickly and she had gone past honey and into platinum. Straight up, she looks amazing, and I’ve never had a mistake pan out that well.
While in New York for Fashion Week, Kylie’s had a pretty eventful time. She went to the Yeezy Season Four Show, went very “Cher from Clueless” in a blue dress, and she got trapped in an elevator with a bunch of models. That seems like the start of a joke, but it’s not. She actually got trapped in an elevator and all they had for sustenance—for the ten minutes they were trapped—was one granola bar, which Kendall immediately ate (relatable).
Other than that, she’s just been a total Regular Teen™ for NYFW. She and her rapper boyfriend went to her rapper brother-in-law’s fashion show, she showed off her massive “promise ring” and she wore $50,000 diamond earrings with her Vans. Very relatable, very relatable.
As someone who has bleached their hair, I want to congratulate her on being so bold and also offer the advice to invest in a deep-conditioner.
