Kim Kardashian Debuts Marilyn Monroe-Style Blonde Bob Days After Controversial 2024 Met Gala Look

The 43-year-old reality star ditched her long hair for a short, icy blonde bob while out and about in New York City on Thursday, May 9. Kardashian partially hid the chin-grazing style under a black baseball hat. She wore an all-black ensemble consisting of leather pants, heeled leather boots, a long trench coat and a large black tote bag.

The mogul’s new look comes days after debuting yet another controversial look at the 2024 Met Gala. At the Monday, May 6 event, Kardashian appeared in a Margiela by John Galliano look featuring a waist-snatching silver corset that gave her a dramatically tiny waist and sheer gown worn as a skirt. At one point, Kardashian appeared to get help from attendees to make her way up the steps as a result of the constraining dress.
