Kim Kardashian debuts a sleek new lob style: is this a wig or a real haircut?

FFN_FF10_Kanye_Kim_073116_52137486

Here are some photos of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West out and about on Sunday in West Hollywood. They went for a date-day lunch without the kids. They went to Ysabel. There’s some confusion about Kim’s new hair look here. Some people believe she’s wearing a wig. Some people believe she just took out her extensions and straightened her hair. Some people believe she got a big haircut. I don’t know… I don’t think it’s a wig? I think she really got her hair cut and/or got her extensions taken out. And it looks good. This is a “sleek lob,” correct?

As for what she’s wearing, the boots are from Kanye’s Yeezy collection. They cost about $900. They do not look comfortable, although to be fair, I never think Kim looks good in boots. She always looks like she’s cutting off circulation to her legs. Her purse is Louis Vuitton, and I don’t have an ID on the dress. Is she even wearing underwear?

Even though Keeping Up with the Kardashians was nominated for a Teen Choice Award, no one from the family went to the show, which is sort of a downer, right? The TCAs aren’t good enough for the Kardashians. Think about that. Instead, Kim spent the evening live-tweeting with fans about the new episode of KUWTK – go here to read. After that, she went to a party at The Nice Guy for Kylie Jenner, who turns 19 next week.

    She’s looking very good here – the best I’ve seen her in a long time. She suits it.

  2. Clare says:

    What the hell is going on – why am I loving Kim’s moves recently?
    First the receipts
    Then the almost cute olive green dress
    And now a pretty fabulous hair cut.

    Something is wrong in the force.

    * not this dress…the other dress from some days ago…

  3. Tiffany27 says:

    I got those shoes for $19.80 from Forever 21 two years ago for Halloween. I was Uhura from Star Trek.

  4. Kitkatk8 says:

    I wonder if the hairstylist is upset she stole the trimming cape and turned it into a straight jacket?

  5. Bros says:

    her hair is fine but I don’t need a live gynecological exam.

  6. Lora says:

    Holy shiaaat, she looks good! Her face, her body… I think its a wig though

  7. Mrs. Welen-Melon says:

    A Las Vegas showgirl Army costume. Late July in Los Angeles should mean something sandals and something summery, not boots and long sleeves and Army drab.

    • Emily says:

      I was just wondering…is it not hot in LA like everywhere else? Just looking at this makes me sweaty.

  8. dodgy says:

    The boots are fine, actually. I’m not necessarily a fan of the colour (that sort of sandy dune colour), but the lines and overall aesthetic – it works. I can see it being able to rock with a lot of outfits.

    Kim Kardashian has been dressing better lately.

    • Lynnie says:

      Yeah, the boots will either be a hit amongst the celebrity crowd, or it’ll at least inspire a round of knockoffs in all of the fast fashion chains.

      • AnnaKist says:

        Tiffany27 stated upthread that she bought a pair from Forever 21 two years ago, so it seems his are the knock-offs. In my opinion, they’re horrible, anyway. The dress looks like a duffle bag from army surplus. I do like the hair/wig, though.

    • Annieb says:

      I like the boots, but how do you put them on. They look really tight but don’t have a zip.

      • KiddVicious says:

        Either the top part or the whole shoe is lycra, not suede/leather. They slip on like socks.

  9. cakecakecake says:

    its a wig, her hair has never been that thick and I highly doubt she would cut it.
    not a bad look, except the front is a lil too much.

  10. Locke Lamora says:

    I don’t like the colour. The black looks better against her skin colour than this dark brown. The cut is nice.

  11. littlemissnaughty says:

    I don’t get it. She has great legs, how tight are those boots that they squeeze her legs like this???

  12. Onerous says:

    Oooh! I love those boots! And the hair is good, too.

  13. Trixie says:

    How is it a “lob” at all when it’s longer than shoulder-length?

  14. Nancy says:

    She looks better than usual. The dress doesn’t cling to the form of her butt which is her usual m.o. Of course the hair is real, I mean she is on a reality show. Can’t believe people still watch it.

  15. doofus says:

    wig. and Ye’s bedazzled yet ripped jeans are SO F’ING UGGO.

  16. smcollins says:

    I can’t believe I’m about to write this, but Kim looks really good here (minus the unnecessary slit because the dress is too short for that). To quote Miranda from SATC: “We’re going to have to ice skate home because hell just froze over.” Now….is this just a one-off, or will we be seeing more nice & flattering looks on her?

  17. Becki says:

    I agree with everyone here, she’s been looking really good lately. Not so much her fashion though, she never rocks that anymore. But her hair and her body look great!!

  18. Samtha says:

    She looks good with her hair like that, and I like the boots. The dress (and her ass of lies) is terrible, though.

    • antipodean says:

      I honestly don’t know why she thinks that “shelf bum” looks good, it is so out of proportion to the rest of her. Those thighs are a true testament to the skill of her lipo surgeon. I like the hair though, it looks shiny, healthy, and well cut, hell surely has frozen over!

  19. Brittney B. says:

    Oh no… I’m with the rest of you on this, amazed that I like this look so much.

    I haven’t cut my hair in years and it’s past my bum now; have just been waiting for the right time/place/length to donate it. SERIOUSLY considering bringing these pictures to a stylist and finally making the chop. Who even am I anymore…

  20. someone says:

    I’ve always wondered – where do they put all your hair under a wig? How do they smash it down so tight that you can’t see it bumpy under the wig? Kim has a lot of hair naturally.

  21. benchwarmer says:

    I know ‘side boob’ and even ‘under boob’ have been a thing as of late, but ‘side vagina’?

  22. Saks says:

    Did she had a new face retouch? She is looking different to me…

    • Samtha says:

      I think maybe it’s weight loss.

      Not that she hasn’t had a ton of work done over the last few years…

    • Lisatorner says:

      I think besides the new nose she has legit had a mini face lift to tighten under her chin and lower face because when you compare pics from the past her face wasn’t nearly so tightly pulled especially in the chin area. It’s not just weight loss it’s actually a difference in her skin tone and where fat was gathering in her face.

      I think she has had full body Lipo, they have that cool sculpting now where there is no downtime or bruises and it takes about 3 months for the fat to all fade away.
      You can also have it all over your body including under your chin to tighten that area.

      I think she had ten million sessions all over her body when Saint was born and now doesn’t have to do anything but show off the results because it fades away slowly and she takes credit for her natural weight loss due to working out.

      Her body is very different that back in the day, she used to have a square body then her first husband had her have Lipo to create a waist and since then she has also had Brazilian butt lift to move fat from her waist and back into her backside to create the round plump shape. (Which Khloe and Kylie copied her by having themselves)
      She had had multiple nose jobs and Botox and filler injections in her cheeks and lips and around her mouth (after Kylie did the same) and breast implants and laser hair removal and every inch of her body has been assessed and manipulated to look the best in front of the cameras.

      Yet she lies about every single proceedure which shows incredible insecurity, a feeling that she doesn’t owe her fans the truth, and an almost psychotic narcissism.

      To me that is not #bodygoals that is #moneygoals

      • Snowflake says:

        It must be nice to be able to blow that much money on surgeries. Sounds right re what shes doing

  23. SleepyJane says:

    That is a wig; plain as day. This look is flattering on her.

  24. Jeanette says:

    Don’t look now buy Ye is wearing her jeans and she is wearing his shirt!

  25. mary s says:

    I like her look, here. The dress with the boots is cute and her hair looks good, too. I think it may be a wig, because the hair seems thinner in the front and thicker at the sides, where it looks like her “real” hair may be squished into a hair cap. Plus the texture of the hair at the temples looks different. LOL, I zoomed in on her hair– im so dum! Anywho, I think she looks pretty here.

  26. shannon says:

    I’m surprised this is a debate. Everything about this woman is fake or temporary. It wouldn’t surprise me if every hair that she steps out with is a piece. Same goes for most celebrity women. Almost all of them wear extensions.

  27. Margo S. says:

    I’d love to know what kanye is saying to the photogs in that one pic! Kim does look amazing. I think she’s removed the extensions from her hair and that’s all her. I’m pregnant now but once this baby is born I am so hitting that gym hard! She’s inspiring me!

    • Fl girl says:

      Um, don’t think her new body has much to do with the gym. Even her sisters say she doesn’t work out hard, just prances around in full make up.

  28. Bobo says:

    I am seeing a new jaw line or chin …

    • me says:

      And a pair of new legs. No way was she able to work out her legs to THAT small size but keep her butt big. That is impossible. I don’t care what anyone says, it’s obvious she had fat sucked out of her legs, especially the thighs. She just gets fat sucked out of the places she wants. That’s why her boobs stay big too. If you’re dieting and exercising the way she claims, you will lose weight EVERYWHERE.

      • Fl girl says:

        So. True.

      • Snowflake says:

        Yep

      • Bobo says:

        What pisses me off is that she wants US to believe that she is just such a miracle/rarity that all of this is natural…

      • Fluff says:

        EXACTLY what i was thinking! She came out with the slimmed size pretty suddenly. I saw her size higher for long time and then boom she has the slimmest tighs she had inyears. I am suspicious. If she got there on her own, kudos to her but i get r annoyed when i am put in position of feeling inadequate when compared to someone who cheted their way into new body (cheated as in did not disclose the truth). That pisses me off

    • Kitkatk8 says:

      definitely a new jaw/chin – a mini lift or some lipo and she’s sporting this short wig/cut to try to throw off why she looks different

  29. Reece says:

    Wig or not that style/cut looks great on her.

    I like the idea of the dress but the execution is a H___ NO!!!

  30. Dana m says:

    I want this wig! Where can I find one??

  31. Abby_J says:

    Oh man, this is what Tom HIddleston has brought my life to. I am commenting on a Kardashian thread. ANYWAY…

    Wig or not, I love it. I think it’s probably the first time I’ve ever seen a picture of her and thought that she was really pretty. I mean, obviously the girl isn’t unattractive, but she usually looks so fake to me. Here it almost looks natural?

    I am nothing CLOSE to a fashionista, but I even don’t hate the dress. I’d never wear it myself, but even it looks good on her and doesn’t make her look like a misshapen barbie doll. I gotta draw the line at the boots though. I hate them. They look like socks with heels.

    Keep the look, Kim!

  32. Guesto says:

    She looks like the vapid, plastic, styleless moron she always is. No hairstyle can change that.

  33. racer says:

    Wig. Her stylist needs to show her side part a little more love. She looks great!

  34. Amanda DG says:

    It’s about time she cut off the extensions, but it only makes her fish lips look that much more ridiculous for some reason.

  35. BoomBoom says:

    Ha,ha. Seems like she’s just playing “Keeping up with Kylie” to me. Didn’t Kylie just debut the exact same hairstyle except in her natural black color just last week? I remember an episode of their show a couple seasons ago when she pushing Kylie to admit to her lip injections. It was almost as if she was so threatened by her sisters attention that she was secretly hoping this would cause people to turn on Kylie and bring the focus back to herself. I mean, otherwise why wouldn’t she admit to all the crap that she has so obviously had done? It’s just funny to watch a grown mid thirties woman with kids still try and be sexy and compete with her 19 year old sister.

  36. Molly says:

    Forget Kim — can we talk about Kanye’s bridal jeans? WTF?

  37. Penelope says:

    Her face looks scary.

  38. Pmnichols says:

    She looks great. Love the hair and the boots. Just button the bottom of the dress. Best she’s looked.

  39. erratum says:

    Her face looks plastic and swollen & her fashion sense is awful…not pretty or interesting to me.
