Kris Jenner, the world’s most famous “momager,” has always played a major role in the lives of her daughters — Kim, Kourtney, Khloé, Kendall, and Kylie. So it’s no surprise that their influence has extended to her personal style, especially when it comes to beauty trends.
Known for her iconic short pixie cut, Jenner has largely stuck to the same hairstyle since the early 1990s. While she’s made subtle updates over the years — adding spikes, soft waves, slicked-back looks, or even red highlights — her cropped cut has remained her signature look for decades.
That’s why fans were surprised last month when celebrity hairstylist Justine Marjan shared a photo of Jenner with a bold new hairstyle: a sleek, jaw-length “hydro bob” with a smooth curl. Then on Tuesday, April 15, Marjan revealed another fresh look — a chic micro bob topped with a black bow, giving a playful and feminine touch.
The new style nods to several recent Kardashian-Jenner trends. Last November, Kendall Jenner debuted her shortest haircut yet — a sharp chin-length micro bob. The sleek cut, already popular with stars like Lily Collins and Ayo Edebiri, became even more sought-after once Kendall joined the trend.
The bow accessory is another clear connection to her daughters. The “balletcore” trend, which features bows and soft, romantic details, gained popularity in 2023. In recent weeks, both Kim and Khloé Kardashian have embraced the look, making it even more mainstream. Kris’s take on the trend combines both the sleek bob and feminine bow, channeling the influence of her daughters’ evolving style.
It’s still unclear whether Jenner’s new look is permanent or a temporary switch created with extensions. She may be experimenting while keeping her signature pixie intact underneath. With so many beauty icons in her family, Jenner has plenty of hairstyle inspirations to choose from next — whether it’s Kim’s dramatic waist-length extensions or Kylie’s voluminous blowouts.
For now, her micro bob and bow combo shows that even the matriarch of the Kardashian-Jenner clan is not immune to the fashion-forward influence of her trendsetting daughters.
