3 Times Kris Jenner Switched Up Her Signature Hair Look

Kris Jenner is the matriarch of the prestigious Kardashian family. She's best known for being momager to her daughters: reality star Kim Kardashian and supermodels Kylie and Kendall Jenner. While she is instantly recognized for her quippy one-liners and iconic moments on the reality series "The Kardashians," the mom and manager has also donned the same haircut for years, so it is now her signature hairstyle. Fans immediately associate Jenner with her distinct dark pixie cut, which she wore throughout "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" — the family's original series that propelled them to fame. Her sophisticated cut has become an iconic staple within her look, giving her a polished and confident allure. It's no secret that Jenner's face has undergone a transformation over the years, but it was a complete shock when she decided to change her signature hairstyle, too.

While Jenner has almost always returned to the pixie cut that suits her so well, in recent years, she has also experimented with different hairstyles. From shoulder-length bobs to platinum blond looks, for some reason, or for no reason at all, Jenner has decided that she needs a change.

At 70, the momager understands the significance behind her cropped style, and she makes sure her new hairstyles don't go unnoticed. As she reveals her new hairdos on Instagram, Jenner's hair experiments have sparked conversations online. Her different dyes and cuts have made fans go wild. Whether the public's reactions are complimentary or critical, Jenner rocks her chosen styles with pride.

The 2022 Met Gala was a major event for the Kardashian clan. Not only did Khloé make her debut at the event, which meant all the Kardashian sisters walked the red carpet together for the very first time, but Kris Jenner stepped onto the red carpet with an entirely new look. The Kardashian clan leader donned a bob flicked outward, elevating her glamorous appearance, and her look was completed with side-swept bangs. Jenner's new look embodied the Old Hollywood aesthetic. The Kardashian matriarch even confirmed that she had channeled one of the most instantly recognizable women in American history. "I'm just kind of channeling a little Jackie Kennedy tonight," she said in an interview with E! News at the time. Like Jenner, Kennedy also donned a voluminous bob.

As Jenner embraced her updated look, she hinted that her dramatic change was all about keeping things effortless. "I wanted to do something glamorous and chic — and easy," she told the outlet. Jenner wore a yellow Oscar de la Renta gown that sparkled and nodded to the event's "Gilded Glamour" theme. If it wasn't already noticeable, the dress' off-the-shoulder neckline drew attention to Jenner's new hairstyle. While Jenner revealed that she went through a lengthy glam process before arriving on the carpet, she made it known that her family had fun. Despite her long bob garnering attention, she spent the evening waiting at the top of the stairs to watch her daughters arrive.

At a Shark Beauty event in 2025, Kris Jenner addressed the audience looking remarkably different from what fans are used to. Jenner had started to experiment with different hairstyles in the past, but she arrived at the event with a platinum blond bob that felt like one of her bolder decisions. Her slicked bob extended into a side-fringe that framed her face, and her dark roots nodded to her signature hairstyle. While the media reported that Jenner looked completely different with her lighter hairdo, the momager reassured her fans that the blond hair was a fleeting moment. "We had a fun little blond moment tonight!" Jenner wrote under a picture that showcased her new hair on Instagram.

Jenner's bright hair moment was largely well received among her fans, who rushed to the comments section to give their opinions. "She looks fantastic," one person wrote. "God had definitely blessed these genetics," another added. While some users complimented the celebrity on her new appearance, others expressed their shock at how much younger Kris Jenner looked with this hairstyle. "It's giving 6th sister," a fan commented. "Just hot — how can it be possible to pull off at this age ... you're ultimate goals," another person wrote. 

Through an Instagram reel, celebrity hairstylist Chris Appleton showed the moment when he completed Jenner's hair transformation. As Appleton mixed the platinum hue in a bowl behind her, Jenner put her hand over the camera, and the video skipped to the big reveal. "Blondie," Appleton wrote in a playful caption.

In 2026, Kris Jenner arrived at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party wearing a glamorous hairstyle that was significantly different from her cropped cut. While Jenner has proven that short hair doesn't have to be boring in the past, on this occasion, she was obviously having fun with a different hair length. Although she had returned to her signature hair color, jet-black, her dark locks were significantly longer. In what was another Appleton masterpiece, Jenner's hair was styled into a textured updo that cascaded in soft face-framing curls. Rather than being tightly slicked back, the hair was swept up with soft twists and curls, which gave her an elegant allure. Jenner's new hairstyle also featured a deep side-part that scooped across her face and created a soft and effortless red-carpet feel.

Once again, Jenner made headlines for her refreshed hairstyle, which left fans wondering how to create the look. Under an Instagram post that revealed her glamorous new updo, Jenner posed wearing an all-black ensemble that exuded glamour. In the caption, Jenner revealed that she was wearing a Valentino Haute Couture 1995 dress from the designer's Fall/Winter collection, and fans flocked to the comments to express their admiration for her updated look. "I absolutely love Kris Jenner's style. She always dresses in such a stunning and impeccable way," one fan commented. "How can you be so beautiful?" another person wrote.
