Film Gala , Kim Kardashian paid tribute to Princess Diana—not with her hairstyle, but with a piece of jewelry. Kardashian wore Diana’s antique amethyst Attallah Cross pendant, which she purchased at auction in 2023.
However, Kardashian’s hairstyle was all her own. Instead of Diana’s famous short, feathery cut, she sported a modern flipped-out bob. Her hairstylist, Chris Appleton, created the look starting with a deep side part. He smoothed her hair with a blowout, added Bellami hair extensions for volume, and cut it to shoulder length. The ends were curled out using a curling iron, giving the style its signature flip.
Her bangs were styled into a swooping C-shaped curl that framed one side of her forehead. Appleton finished the look with shine spray and a strong hold spray to keep the curls in place.
Princess Diana’s hairstyle was very different. In the 1980s, she wore a short, feathered crop, and in the 1990s, she switched to a sleeker pixie cut. Kardashian’s modern bob is a clear departure from those classic looks, but it shows how she blends inspiration with her own style.
Kardashian paired the necklace with a tight, low-cut white Gucci dress and two pearl collars. She often experiments with wigs and extensions, and the flipped bob has been a favorite look for her throughout 2024.
This style also appears to be the one she wears in her upcoming role as the owner of an all-female legal firm in Ryan Murphy’s new series All’s Fair. Given how popular the flipped bob has been among celebrities this year, it’s no surprise that Kardashian’s look is front and center once again.
