“She was working in a family boutique in Calabasas” doesn’t have the same ring to it as “working in a bridal shop in Flushing, Queens,” but Kim Kardashian‘s teased-up hairstyle would be right at home on a remake of the ’90s classic sitcom The Nanny regardless.
Fran Fine is an irreplaceable beauty icon, what with her voluminous, backcombed bouffants, headbands, and lipstick, and Kardashian absolutely channeled the titular nanny for her recent visit to sister Khloé‘s podcast Khloé in Wonderland. For the sisterly chat, Kardashian wore her hair pulled tightly back from her face with all the volume concentrated right at the crown of her head, similar to a ‘60s-style bouffant like those worn by Priscilla Presley back in the day and Lana del Rey in the 2010s. To really emphasize the sky-high volume, she wore a wide black leather headband placed just behind her hairline. The lengths were styled straight and worn long, flowing down to mid-back.
We know Fran would be all about the hairstyle, but we also think she’d be a fan of Kardashian’s halter top and fur coat combo too. (And we know Fran loved a headband; she often wore the hair accessory with her teased styles.) The Skims founder finished off her throwback glam look with a warm, soft brown eye, a pink cheek and lip, and her signature short pinky-white nails. Khloé, on the other hand, kept things short and sweet, styling her bob in loose waves.
This isn’t the first time Kardashian has flirted with a retro aesthetic. For the holidays, she went for a coquettish vibe by accenting her fluffy curls with a sweet ivory satin bow. Rumors of a The Nanny remake have quieted in recent years, but if they ever decide to make it happen, Kardashian should definitely make a cameo.
