Buh-bye, blonde. Kendall Jenner’s bob haircut sees the model and reality star officially bidding farewell to her honey tresses, debuting a sophisticated chin-length brunette bob in time for the winter season.

The dramatic transformation comes just two months after Jenner went blonde—a process that wasn’t exactly quick and easy. Celebrity hairstylist Jenna Perry, who crafted Jenner’s golden look, previously told Vogue, “It took me two days to take her this gorgeous shade of golden blonde.”
But as seasons change, so do hair colors, and Jenner’s new chocolate brown bob, expertly crafted by hairstylist Tamás Tüzes, proves that sometimes less is more. Unlike the blunt cuts trending among celebrities, Jenner’s bob features subtle point cutting that creates a softer, more textured effect. The result? A sophisticated style that frames her face perfectly and tapers elegantly toward her jaw.
The 29-year-old model unveiled her transformation in true Kendall fashion: with a striking black-and-white photoshoot on Instagram. She later gave us a better look at her rich brunette shade while attending the FWRD & REVOLVE Holiday Shop at The Grove in Los Angeles on November 15, 2024. Staying true to her knack for coordinated styling, Jenner paired her new chocolate-brown locks with a matching Tom Ford croc leather jacket and Alexander McQueen trousers.
This isn’t Jenner’s first foray into bob territory. She’s experimented with shorter cuts in 2016, 2017, and 2018—but this might be her most dramatic chop yet. She joins a growing list of celebrities embracing the bob life, including Gigi Hadid, Selena Gomez, and Lily Collins.
The timing of Jenner’s return to darker hues aligns perfectly with winter trends. Celebrity stylist Julius Michael recently told Marie Claire, “We love a bright blonde, but now it’s time to go back to dark roots and buttery ends.” It seems Jenner got the memo, taking it one step further with her full commitment to rich, winter-ready color.
Her new look is also practical—after all, maintaining bleached blonde hair through countless styling sessions for shoots and events is no small feat. This sophisticated cut and color combo might just give her hair the recovery time it needs while keeping her firmly in the spotlight.
The transformation perfectly captures Jenner’s evolving style philosophy. Her stylist, Dani Michelle, recently shared with Vogue how intentional Jenner is about her fashion choices, explaining that “Before any special fitting, she shares her vision, the references she feels, and what inspires her.”
Whether you’re considering your own winter hair transformation or just enjoying the view, one thing’s clear—Kendall Jenner’s new look is proof that sometimes the best way to make a statement is to keep things classic, chic, and effortlessly cool.
