Kim Kardashian Is Unrecognizable With a ‘Paris Pixie’ Cut, À La Kris Jenner

Between red carpets and camera flashes, Paris Fashion Week, had a surprise in store: the one and only Kim Kardashian made her entrance at the Alaïa show with a super short cut that didn’t go unnoticed (quite the opposite).

Goodbye extra-long hair, hello to a pitch black pixie cut defined with the addition of sensual, soft, artfully layered bangs that are very flapper girl. It’s impossible not to notice how much Kardashian’s new pixie cut resembles the (super iconic) one of her nearly 70-year-old momager, Kris Jenner. “PARIS PIXIE,” Kardashian dubbed the look on Instagram.

It’s a radical change of look for Kim Kardashian, as well as a statement of style and personality. And since everything the mega influencer touches turns to gold, we bet that from tomorrow everyone will want to show off a super short and sexy pixie cut like hers!

Here’s what the expert says about Kim Kardashian’s “Paris pixie”

And for those who dream of replicating this cheeky and bold hairstyle? Matteo Orlando, hairstylist at the Mastromauro salon in Milan, has some advice. “Kim Kardashian’s new pixie cut is perfect for oval or slightly heart-shaped faces, while those with very large, round faces or pronounced jawlines should consider softer variations,” Orlando says in a statement that’s been translated. “Note the soft, wispy fringe: it frames the face without weighing it down, giving the pixie a natural movement and a sophisticated allure at the same time. It’s perfect for softening the features and playing lightly with the front strands.”

The secret to daily styling such a short and bold cut? “Yes to mousse or styling creams, as long as they have a super light texture. I recommend drying by moving the strands with your fingers to achieve natural movement.” And maintenance? “Every four to five weeks, a touch-up in the salon is recommended to maintain the precise shape, especially at the nape and sides.” Also worth noting is the versatility of the Kim Kardashian pixie: “You can wear it sleek and shiny or messy and textured: it depends on the occasion and your mood.”
