Kim Kardashian Channels Kris Jenner with Bold Pixie Cut at Paris Fashion Week 2025 — Is Momager’s Signature Look Back in the Spotlight?
When Kim Kardashian stepped out at Paris Fashion Week on October 4, 2025, the fashion world didn’t just notice her outfit — they paused to stare at her hair. The 44-year-old mogul debuted a dramatic pixie cut so reminiscent of her mother, Kris Jenner, that fans took to social media in disbelief. Was this a daring style reinvention — or a full-blown ode to Mom?
Kim made her runway appearance at the Maison Margiela Women’s Wear Spring/Summer 2026 show donning an oversized gray trench, black scarf, and leather boots. But it was her crowning statement — the ultra-short, jet-black “Paris Pixie” — that stole the spotlight. Earlier, at the Alaïa show, she revealed the cut in all its close-cropped glory, clad in a sheer black strapless dress. Her hairstylist, Chris Appleton, teased the transformation in Instagram captions, dubbing it “Paris Pixie.”
The new look features delicate, wispy bangs and tapered sides, drawing comparisons to classic pixie icons like Jean Seberg and Audrey Hepburn, while also invoking Kris Jenner’s signature short style. While Kim has flirted with shorter styles before — bob cuts, cropped lobs, even wig transformations — this is her shortest real cut to date.
Fans and fashion critics were quick to remark on how the transformation blurred the lines between mother and daughter. On Kim’s Instagram, one follower slipped in: “Kris Jenner?! Is that you?” The resemblance was uncanny — right down to the confidence radiating from the sharp, face-framing silhouette.
Yet this move is more than just a homage. Short hair is experiencing a resurgence in celebrity beauty trends, and Kim has consistently played role model in setting them. By aligning with her mom’s iconic look, she taps both nostalgia and reinvention — powerful in the world of style.
Stylistically, the pixie cut adds edge to her ensembles. At Margiela, the stark haircut contrasted beautifully with the structured trench and black accent pieces. At Alaïa, the cut juxtaposed against her sheer, corseted look — bold and delicate all at once.
The big question now: Is this a permanent change or just a fashion week stunt? Kim is known for switching looks — wigs, extensions, bold experiments — and she’s no stranger to reinvention. But whether she keeps the pixie or returns to her signature long waves, this moment will linger in style memory — and the viral reactions
suggest it’s already iconic.
