Kendall Jenner is making waves with her latest hairstyle as she transitions into a new chapter of her life. Recently celebrating her 29th birthday on November 3rd, the model and business mogul has not only bid farewell to her twenties but also to her brief stint as a blonde. Jenner unveiled her new look: a chic brunette micro bob that marks her shortest haircut to date.
On November 13, the founder of 818 Tequila took to social media to share a striking photo, captured by acclaimed fashion photographer Mert Alas. With a simple caption featuring two haircut emojis, the image showcased her bold chin-length bob, reestablishing her connection to her natural dark hair. The fresh cut was the work of her trusted stylist Mary Phillips, while colorist Matt Rez was responsible for her rich brunette shade.
This isn’t the first time Kendall has opted for a shorter cut. She’s previously rocked a shoulder-length bob in 2018, sporting various looks from beachy to Old Hollywood waves. However, this new micro bob stands apart as one of her most dramatic transformations yet.
As a high-profile model, adaptability is key for Jenner, who has experimented with a wide range of looks over the years—from striking platinum blonde to edgy bleached brows. While she can easily switch back to longer locks with extensions, the recent photo alongside the timing of her birthday suggests that Jenner is embracing a more streamlined, minimalist aesthetic. This shift coincides with her Saturn return, a significant astrological period for many.
Joining the trend alongside other celebrities like Lori Harvey and Ayo Edebiri, Kendall’s endorsement of the micro bob signals that this style is poised to become even more popular in the coming year. If you’ve been contemplating a haircut, consider this your sign to take the plunge into a fresh new look.
