Besides being a businesswoman, a momager, and a reality TV mogul, Kris Jenner is also quite the fashion icon. The 68-year-old socialite has made a name for herself at events and red carpets for over three decades, with her signature short black hair and even more signature flair for the dramatic.
Her style is so iconic that even her own fashion-forward daughters are taking notice. Last month, her daughter Kendall Jenner made headlines for her own pixie cut, which she modeled in a shoot for Calvin Klein. Kylie has also sported the look, posting a photo of herself in a short bob to her own Instagram account writing “kris jenner is quaking.”
But we can’t blame her daughters for trying to steal her look—she’s been bringing it for 30 years and we’re just trying to Keep Up. Check out InStyle’s favorite Kris Jenner hair moments below:
