Kim Kardashian is no stranger to daring fashion statements, and her latest look is no exception. On Sunday, November 2, the reality star and business mogul unveiled a striking transformation, blending '90s boy band hair trends with her signature style. Posing in nothing but body paint, Kim showcased a fresh pixie cut that oozed nostalgia and innovation.
The hair transformation, reminiscent of the iconic '90s frosted tips worn by the likes of NSYNC and Nick Lachey, has stirred a mix of admiration and debate among her fans. Known for frequently reinventing her look, Kim's latest style nods to her mother, Kris Jenner, with a bold, highlighted twist. The shoot was part of a collaboration with Re-Edition magazine, where Kim's body served as a canvas for Athena Paginton's Gucci-inspired art.
“Kim Kardashian continues to push the boundaries of fashion and art, merging them seamlessly with her latest look,” remarked a fashion enthusiast.
Kim's daring photoshoot didn't stop at her hair. In an Instagram post, the Skims founder revealed the intricate body paint ensemble that transformed her into a living work of art. For the cover of the magazine's AW '25 issue, she donned a painted outfit that mirrored a light green blazer jacket, a white ruffled plunging blouse, and blue jeans with a brown leather belt—all crafted from paint. The ensemble complemented her side-swept light brown pixie cut with blonde highlights, strikingly similar to Winona Ryder's look at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival.
The details extended to her makeup, featuring ombré blue and gray smoky eyeshadow, matte brown lipstick, and her trademark contouring. In another artistic shot, Kim posed topless, sporting an optical illusion brown blazer jacket with a light blue dress shirt and a loosely tied patterned brown tie—all painted across her skin. Paired with actual tailored black slacks, she added a touch of edge by posing with a cigarette.
Kim Kardashian's latest style statement comes on the heels of her appearance at the BoF500 Gala during Paris Fashion Week, where she first flaunted a similar pixie cut. Her willingness to experiment with her image, blending past trends with modern flair, keeps her at the forefront of the fashion world. By daring to strip down and let body paint do the talking, Kim cements her status as a fashion icon unafraid to push the envelope.
As always, the reactions are mixed, but Kim thrives in the spotlight, continuously challenging conventional fashion norms. Whether channeling her mother or drawing inspiration from the '90s, she's proving that some trends are worth revisiting with a bold, fresh perspective.
