    It's the color of the season, apparently.

    Forget whatever Pantone has to say, I'm calling it now: Honey-blonde is official the color of the year. If Kim Kardashian and Rihanna are both rocking it, how could it not be?

    On Thursday, November 16, Kardashian stepped out in Los Angeles to celebrate being named one of GQ's 2023 Man of the Year winners. While walking the red carpet at Chateau Marmont and posing alongside fellow men of the year Tom Ford and Jacob Elordi (what a crew, truly), the Skims founder premiered a new hairdo. She ditched her dark brown locks in favor of a freshly-dyed honey-blonde hue. Her hair was worn straight and parted right down the middle.

    While the 43-year-old is an expert at putting her own spin on things, her hair looked strikingly familiar to a style worn by Rihanna earlier this week. The two even went so far as to wear similarly colored outfits—but that's where the resemblance stops. While Rihanna paired her tresses with jeans and a camel coat, Kardashian went with a custom suede Chrome Hearts set complete with a halter top (the halter itself being a gold chain with two dangling "K" charms that draped down her back ) and maxi skirt. Keeping with her neutral color scheme, the reality star's coffin-shaped nails were painted a deep brown that echoed the dark roots of her waist-length hair.

    After the party, the mogul shared an Instagram Story of her gold jewelry—and most of her nails—discarded on the couch. "So me," she captioned the snap. Honestly, there's no telling if we'll ever see the honey-blonde hair again, either.

Sophia is based in Minneapolis and is a 2019 graduate of the University of Minnesota, where she majored in English and minored in cinema studies. During her time at the university, she was the Arts Entertainment Editor for the Minnesota Daily, earning the 2019 Editor of the Year award for her work. She connected deeply with the Twin Cities arts scene, collaborating with leading beauty professionals, designers, and artists. Graduating Summa Cum Laude, her thesis—a close-reading of Vanderpump Rules—was featured on NPR. When not immersed in writing or testing new products, Sophia enjoys watching reality TV, reading, and exploring the newest woo-woo wellness trends. Keep up with her on Instagram @sophiavilensky.
