Some of the most famous women in pop culture today are undoubtedly those who make up the Kardashian-Jenner family. Due to their status and well-known reputations as style and beauty moguls, the women of the family tend to change up their looks a lot, including their haircuts and colors.
The American Horror Story performer is especially well known for switching up her hair, cutting and dyeing it, or sporting various realistic-looking wigs. She's often complimented on her ability to adapt to different looks, but one from 2023 is resurfacing online and not getting the best reception.
A SKIMS ad from three years ago, which is a video of Kim filming herself, asking her fans and followers if they wear push-up bras and promoting the SKIMS Ultimate Bra. In the video, she can be seen with a super blunt, choppy bob haircut. She kept her classic dark black hair color, didn't have bangs, and the length of the bob was quite short, landing at around her jawline.
