PLUS: Gisou Launches Honey-Infused Hair Perfume with a Fresh Twist

Specialty Bites 🍪

Kendall Jenner has just revealed a striking new hairstyle that's set to define the fall trends. Channeling a mix of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy's iconic blonde and Jackie Kennedy's signature headband style, Kendall debuted a fresh look that’s already turning heads. Typically known for her dark brown hair, she decided to make a permanent change following her appearance at the Maison Alaa show during New York Fashion Week. With the help of celebrity hairstylist Jenna Perry, Kendall transitioned into a golden blonde over two days. Inspired by the '90s and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy, this warm honey hue is poised to become the season’s must-have 'rich-girl blonde' shade.

Kendall Jenner’s Instagram reveal of her new look on September 11 was nothing short of dramatic. While she’s experimented with blonde before—like during the Burberry Spring/Summer 2020 show—this time, the focus is on buttery ends with dark roots, a look that Julius Michael describes as maintaining a natural, sun-kissed appearance. Kendall has already embraced her shorter, blonder locks, styling them with Emi Jay’s Big Effing Clip and channeling Jackie O with a thick black headband.

If you’re considering a hair change, Kendall’s look is the perfect inspiration. Explore the top fall hair trends, from blonde tones to a chic lob haircut. September seems to be Kendall’s month for transformations, and with results like these, it’s easy to see why.
