Kim Kardashian faced backlash on social media after she showcased a hairstyle that some individuals compared to the periwigs worn by America’s Founding Fathers in the 1700s. The reality TV star donned a grey hairpiece intricately styled into basket-weave pigtails, which she shared through multiple photos on her Instagram account last Sunday.
In the photos posted Sunday, Kardashian showcased a grey hairpiece styled into basket-weave pigtails. She opted for a makeup-free look, complemented by simple nude leggings and a matching mesh tank top, making the elaborate hairstyle the focal point of her ensemble.
Internet users flooded the comments section of the Skims founder’s post with humorous jabs at her colonial-inspired coif. One commenter quipped, “What in the constitution is going on here?” while another playfully remarked, “It’s giving George Washington slay version.”
Several others likened her hairstyle to a picnic basket, a “17th-century judge,” and drew comparisons to historical and fictional figures like Elsa from “Frozen,” Marie Antoinette, and Queen Daenerys Targaryen from “Game of Thrones.”
Kim Kardashian’s hairstylist, Chris Appleton, who crafted the unique hairstyle, shared photos on his Instagram account, accompanied by link emojis. Despite the social media backlash towards Kardashian’s choice of hairstyle, Appleton received praise from his followers for his creativity and skill.
Kim Kardashian, known for her frequent hair transformations orchestrated by Chris Appleton, has previously experimented with various colours and styles, including blond shades, pink hues, and differing lengths from blunt bobs to long, flowing extensions.
