There was something special about Kim Kardashian’s honey-blonde era of yore. The Kardashians star debuted a caramel-tinted blonde back in 2009 and fans are still talking about it today. If it was one of your faves, you’re in luck, because Kardashian just brought it back—if only for a moment, anyway!
The Skims founder posted a handful of pics on Instagram, captioning the carousel with “my week” to let us know this is what she’s been up to the past seven days or so. One such activity was experimenting not just with her honey-blonde hair color, but a bob to boot! In the first snapshot, Kardashian shows off a side-parted blonde bob that hits just above her collarbones, in a very similar shade to the one she famously wore nearly a decade ago: a bit of wheaty beige mixed with honey warmth.
Kardashian’s bob is likely for her upcoming movie The Fifth Wheel, where her character is a blonde, but regardless of its purpose, it looks really good on her. The short, subtly flipped-out style looks so cheerful and springy, as does the warmer shade of blonde with lived-in roots. In the rest of the photos, Kardashian was back to her signature brunette, though her favorite super-short, neutral nails stayed consistent.
The All’s Fair star dabbles in all shades of the blonde spectrum, including a darker caramel tone for a GQ event in 2023 and golden lengths that same year. Of course, her various platinum-blonde transformations are probably her most well-known; the Met Gala is coming up, and we know Kardashian loves going bright blonde for the red carpet. But this blonde bob is right on trend and right on time; we spotlighted several similar shades, including the golden, buttery “Hamptons blonde” and luxe “desert caramel” in our roundup of the best spring haircut and color trends. Might be time to make this change a more permanent one, Kim!
