Key Takeaways
Kim Kardashian cut her famous hair into a bob for Paris Fashion Week.
She walked the runway at Balenciaga with the short cut styled in vintage waves and a Betty Boop bang.
When in Paris… you better get a bob, honestly. There are a lot of chic people around, and if you’re not fitting in you’re going to miss out on a very important cultural experience: feeling amazing in France. (A bob is the easiest way to feel cute quick, in case you’re wondering. Or you could throw on some polka dot capris and heeled flip flops.)
Not that Kim Kardashian has ever had a problem with feeling cute or missing out on cultural experiences. She goes everywhere, she does everything, and she looks good doing it, bob or no bob.
This time, though, there was a bob.
Kim Kardashian’s Vintage Bob

This week, the jet-setter touched down in Paris for fashion week. Though she’s known to change up her look, she kept things pretty consistent in the hair department through her appearances around town. A simple bob was the look du jour, falling above her shoulders at its longest.
For the Balenciaga haute couture 2025 show on Wednesday, June 9, she chose a deep side part and old Hollywood waves complete with a little Betty Boop bang curled against her forehead. Though I’m sure a front row seat was reserved, the mom of four had a chance to walk the runway for her dear friend Demna’s last fashion show as the brand’s artistic director.

“It’s Demna’s Last Balenciaga show tomorrow… So I will be pantabooting the f–k out of these!!!!!” she’d captioned an Instagram story showcasing a pair of her beloved pant-boot hybrids the night before.
And bobbing, of course.
Kim Kardashian’s Hair Changes
With each outfit change (and there have been a few!), the reality star changed her short hairdo slightly. However, vintage glam was always the name of the game.
Per usual, celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton was in charge of the looks. At one point, Kardashian was flouncing around with pins in her hair, still looking chic as ever.

“Who loves this shorter hair?” Appleton captioned an Instagram post of her runway style. The responses were overwhelmingly positive, with various configurations of fire emojis and “I am loving this look!” flooding the chat.
Emojis translate easily, but shouldn’t we say j’adore?
