She returned! Just in time for Christmas, Kim Kardashian has cut out her dyed blonde locks.
In a Saturday, December 24, Instagram Story video, the 42-year-old Skims mogul exclaimed, “We’re back,” as makeup artist Chris Appleton worked on her glamorous look.
As Kardashian wore a silver gown with a one-shoulder silhouette for a selfie, 39-year-old Appleton brushed her naturally dark locks.
The Selfish author attended the annual Christmas Eve party with her children, North, 9, Saint, 6, Chicago, 4, and Psalm, 3, whom she shares with her ex-husband Kanye West.
Another video that Kardashian captioned on her Instagram Stories said, “@siamusic and North performing ‘Snowman,'” praising her oldest daughter’s musical duet with the 47-year-old “Chandelier” singer.
The Kardashians character initially colored her particular dim hair bleach blonde to channel Marilyn Monroe for May’s Met Celebration.
“This hair dying process is so tedious and annoying. We don’t have a shampoo bowl, so we have to rinse it a million times. It is what it is,” Kardashian confessed during a November episode of the Hulu docuseries, noting it took nearly two days to complete. “It has to be the right color [and] my hair can’t fall out. We have to get it right because we have one day to dye it, so we are going to be up for the next 15 hours just dying it.”
The founder of SKKN by Kim wore the famous bejeweled Bob Mackie dress that the late actress wore to the fashion benefit with her then-boyfriend Pete Davidson, whom she split from in August.
“I had this idea to try it on and then they came with armed guards and gloves,” Kardashian told Vogue correspondent Lala Anthony on the Met steps. “The idea really came to me after the gala in September last year. I thought to myself, what would I have done for the American theme if it had not been the Balenciaga look? What’s the most American thing you can think of? And that’s Marilyn Monroe.”
She continued: “For me, the most Marilyn Monroe moment is when she sang “Happy Birthday,” to [former President John F. Kennedy], it was that look.”
After this year’s Met Gala concluded, Kardashian wasn’t ready to give up her blonde look. “The roots are definitely growing out. I’m going to dye it soon. I’m going to stay blonde for a minute,” she said during a September appearance on Live With Kelly and Ryan. “I’ve just been lazy [to bleach my roots]. It’s so much work.”
