Kylie Jenner debuted a blonde bob haircut reminiscent of Marilyn Monroe, sharing her new look on Instagram with voluminous curls and a deep side part. This tribute follows her old Hollywood glam appearance at the 2024 Met Gala. Jenner’s latest style move continues to solidify her influence on beauty and fashion trends.
Kylie Jenner’s: The Bombshell Look
Kylie Jenner is channeling her inner Marilyn Monroe. The Kardashian star recently played dress up, debuting a blonde bombshell look and a bob haircut after rocking waist-length hair for quite some time. Taking to Instagram on June 8th, she shared these blonde bombshell pics alongside the caption “Did someone say they missed King Kylie?”
Her sister Khloe couldn’t help but comment “I did, I did!” Of course, the 26-year-old is referencing her experimental era between 2015 and 2016 when she frequently changed her hair color.
Channeling Marilyn
Kylie Jenner seems to be taking a cue from Marilyn Monroe in her latest selfies as she rocks voluminous pin-up curls and a deep side part like the late Hollywood icon. This isn’t the first time the makeup mogul has channeled Marilyn either.
While attending the 2024 Met Gala last month, Kylie oozed old Hollywood glamour wearing a sleek ivory Oscar de la Renta column gown that featured a cone bra structure and dramatic train.
The Kardashian-Jenner Obsession with Marilyn
Although she’s not the only Kardashian-Jenner who has taken cues from Marilyn, back in 2022, Kim Kardashian stirred controversy at the Met Gala when she slipped into the screen legend’s original 1962 “naked dress.”
While on the carpet, she told Vogue why she chose to wear the iconic dress:
“This is Marilyn Monroe’s dress, and it’s 60 years old. She wore this when she sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to President John F. Kennedy in 1962. I had this idea to put it on and try it on, and then they came with armed guards and gloves. I tried it on, and it didn’t fit me, so I looked at them and said, ‘Give me three weeks.’ I had to lose 16 lbs to be able to fit this, but it was such a challenge. It was like a role.”
Kylie Jenner’s Lasting Impact
Whether blonde or brunette, bob or long locks, Kylie Jenner’s influence on beauty and fashion trends is undeniable. Her latest Marilyn-inspired look is yet another example of her ability to set trends and keep fans obsessing over her every style move.
As one of the most followed people on Instagram, Kylie Jenner’s new blonde bob hairstyle is sure to inspire a wave of imitators looking to channel vintage Hollywood glamour à la Marilyn Monroe.
