Kendall Jenner's Rich Girl Blonde Will Be Fall's Big Hair Trend

If Caroline Bessette-Kennedy's blonde hair color and Jackie Kennedy's classic headband had a baby, it would look a lot like Kendall Jenner's new look.

Allow speed to catch up. Kendall typically wears her hair shoulder-length and dark brown, but this week she's changing up her style. Earlier this month, she played with a shaggy pixie wig.

But this week, she is making a more permanent change. After the Maison Alaia fashion show at New York Fashion Week, she visited renowned hairstylist Jenna Perry for a new cut and color. Jenner unveiled the dramatic transformation on Wednesday, September 11, with a series of photos on Instagram.

“It took two days to get her this gorgeous shade of golden blonde,” Perry told Vogue magazine.

“She's inspired by the '90s and Caroline Bessette-Kennedy.” [This warm honey shade is reminiscent of the rich-girl blonde hair that will be all the rage this fall. 'We love bright blondes, but now it's time to go back to darker roots and buttery ends,' celebrity stylist Julius Michael told Marie Claire earlier when discussing fall hair trends.

“Baby light highlights all over and toning down just at the roots will keep hair looking natural and sun-kissed.”

From a styling standpoint, the options are pretty much endless. Jenner is obviously already experimenting with new shorter lengths. She's pinned her hair in Emi Jay's tortoise-colored Big Effing Clip, brushed it back with a thick, Jackie O-inspired black headband, or let it down with layers curled inward along her face.

Jenner's fresh look, while very exciting, is not the first time she has gone blonde. The Kardashian family star previously debuted a cooler version of the blonde at Burberry's Spring/Summer 2020 fashion show in 2019.

September is obviously Jenner's preferred time to change her hair. If you're feeling inspired (I certainly am), take a look at the best fall hair trends, blonde hair inspiration, and lob haircuts.
