Kim Kardashian West is having quite a day. Just hours after People reported that she and Kanye West were expecting their third child via surrogate, the social media mogul took to her Instagram Stories to reveal a dramatic hair reveal: gone was her interminable, glossy raven mane, and in its place, a center-separated curtain of silver-y gray worthy of a futuristic queen. The self-facing Boomerang oozed effulgence, riffing off the gleam of the beauty entrepreneur’s freshly-applied highlighter.
No stranger to extreme makeovers, Kardashian West volleys between white blonde and jet black hair color with ease. But her new farewell-to-summer makeover offers a cool tonal take on her more well-documented brushes with platinum, with the shade toeing the line between Targaryen and fashion unicorn—which is to say, a wash of true silver, rather than saccharine pops of pink or violet. With rumors swirling that the transformation was the result of a full 15 hours in the colorist’s chair, rather than the handiwork of a temporary trompe l’oeil wig, only a front row appearance at New York Fashion Week will tell. Stay tuned.
