Kendall Jenner Ditched ‘Old Money Blonde’ for a ‘Beige Blonde’ Bob at the Academy Museum Gala

Kendall Jenner shone last night with her new blonde hair color at the Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles.

The event, where we also saw her sisters Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian, brought together the most celebrities per square mile of the month—but of all the spectacular looks they gave us, we are left thinking about Kendall Jenner’s flattering midi mane. With a vintage spirit—a bit Marilyn with a dash of Grace Kelly—it seems to us like a bet you have to make at least once in your life. They say that blondes have more fun, and although we can’t prove it scientifically, we’re sure that the 28-year-old model felt like a real diva with such an appealing hairstyle.

Applied to a medium length mane with big, pronounced waves, this shade of blonde chosen by Kendall Jenner is perfect for those who want to finally take the plunge with this color, but don’t want to risk too much. Sometimes dubbed blonde beige, hair designer and Redken ambassador Juandiegoteo, tells Glamour UK about its main characteristics: “It’s very flattering on warmer skins and the good thing is that it’s much easier to care for and maintain than more extreme blondes,” he says.

Exact shade: The beige blonde moves in a warm, powdery hue that puts it in that interesting vintage spot. It’s a medium blonde with very bright golden undertones that, in Kendall’s case, plays with a subtly browner root. She also adds some very scattered highlights that are a bit lighter, to create contrast and give the hair more depth and volume. In his case they have a noticeable effect, as his brown eyes are lit up by this chromatic play.How to care for it: According to Juandiegoteo, it is not one of the most difficult blondes to maintain. Unlike platinum, it’s enough to use specific hair cosmetics for blondes— here are a few hair masks to prolong the life of the color—and “give it luminosity with moisturizing treatments in the salon.”Kendall Jenner’s “old money blonde” hair on September 23, 2024.
