Kim Kardashian Swaps Out Dark Hair for Sultry Blonde Transformation
Kim Kardashian is keeping fans updated on her new 'do.
The SKIMS founder—known for her signature dark locks—debuted her latest hair transformation on August 15, revealing that she's returned to being a blonde yet again.
Kim made the reveal on Instagram, where she posted a puckered up selfie mid-hairstyling. In the snap, the 44-year-old's locks are a dusty blonde with dark roots and half done in loose braids. The other half of her hair is worn down while a silver clip holds some of her hair in place, blocking part of her face. Behind Kim in the photo were tracks of matching blonde extensions strewn about.
The Kardashians star captioned the photo "about that time" and added a blonde woman emoji.
Kim's famous friends were quick to hype up her latest 'do in the comments, with rapper JT of the City Girls writing, "Favorite color on you!" Her former hairstylist Scotty Cunha, meanwhile, said, "I love blonde Kim so much."
Of course, this is far from the first time that Kim—who shares kids , 12, , 9, , 7, and , 6, with Kanye West—has gone blonde.
Most recently, the reality star rocked a curly blonde bob wig in the campaign for SKIMS' collaboration with Roberto Cavalli, but more famously sported platinum blonde locks for a couple of her latest Met Gala appearances.

Of course, this is far from the first time that Kim—who shares kids , 12, , 9, , 7, and , 6, with Kanye West—has gone blonde.
Most recently, the reality star rocked a curly blonde bob wig in the campaign for SKIMS' collaboration with Roberto Cavalli, but more famously sported platinum blonde locks for a couple of her latest Met Gala appearances.
In 2024, Kim dyed her hair specifically at the request of Maison Margiela creative director John Galliano, who dressed her for the event that year.
"This has been in the planning, obviously, for weeks," her hairstylist Chris Appleton told E! News after the 2024 Met Gala. "And John mentioned as soon as we did a fitting that he would love to see Kim blonde because the silver tones and we wanted to show that into the hair."
He added that it took three or four sessions to get the exact right shade of blonde on Kim.
"There's no shortcut to getting platinum blonde," Chris explained, noting they wanted to allow her roots to show. "Which is really important on Kim."
Two years earlier, Kim memorably donned a slicked back blonde bun for the 2022 Met Gala as she channeled Marilyn Monroe in a dress previously worn by the Hollywood icon.
That same year she explained how changing the color of her hair affects how she carries herself.
"I'm a totally different person," Kim told Allure in 2022. "I'm sassier. I'm more confident as a blonde."
She added, "As soon as I go back to brunette, I'm a boss."

'Skibidi' and 'tradwife' among words added to Cambridge Dictionary
"Skibidi", "tradwife" and other slang terms popularised on social media are among thousands of new words to be added to the Cambridge Dictionary this year. Skibidi is a gibberish term coined by the creator of a viral animated video series on YouTube, while tradwife is a shortening of "traditional wife" – a married mother who cooks, cleans and posts on social media. More than 6,000 new words are included, including those that relate to remote working and tech giants. "Internet culture is changing the English language and the effect is fascinating to observe and capture in the dictionary," said lexical programme manager Colin McIntosh. Skibidi is defined in the dictionary as "a word that can have different meanings such as 'cool' or 'bad', or can be used with no real meaning as a joke". An example of its use is "What the skibidi are you doing?" Reality TV star Kim Kardashian revealed her familiarity with the phrase when she posted a video on Instagram showing a necklace engraved with "skibidi toilet" – the name of the YouTube series. As well as new phrases, some shortened versions of existing terms have been added, including "delulu" – a play on the word "delusional", with a similar definition: "believing things that are not real or true, usually because you choose to". An increase in remote working since the pandemic has seen "mouse jiggler" – a device or piece of software used to make it seem as though you are working when you are not – gain its place in the dictionary. Some composite terms such as "broligarchy" have also been added. Merging "bro" and "oligarchy", it means "a small group of men, especially men owning or involved in a technology business, who are extremely rich and powerful, and who have or want political influence". It was used to describe tech leaders Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg attending Donald Trump's inauguration in January. Follow Cambridgeshire news on BBC Sounds, Facebook, Instagram and X.

From ‘skibidi' to ‘mouse jiggler': The new words being added to the Cambridge Dictionary
Thousands of new words, including popular social media slang such as "Skibidi", "tradwife", and "delulu", are set to be added to the Cambridge Dictionary this year. Over 6,000 terms will join the lexicon, reflecting modern life with additions like "mouse jiggler" from remote working, and "forever chemical" highlighting climate change concerns. Slang term 'skibidi', a jibberish word, joined the world's largest online dictionary in the past 12 months. Defined in the dictionary as 'a word that can have different meanings such as 'cool' or 'bad', or can be used with no real meaning as a joke', an example of its use is: 'What the skibidi are you doing?' The term was coined by the creator of a viral animated video series called 'skibidi toilet' on YouTube, Cambridge Dictionary said, and Kim Kardashian revealed her familiarity with the phrase when she posted a video on Instagram in October showing a necklace her daughter had given her as a birthday present, engraved with 'skibidi toilet'. 'Internet culture is changing the English language and the effect is fascinating to observe and capture in the dictionary,' said Colin McIntosh, lexical programme manager at Cambridge Dictionary. 'Tradwife', short for traditional wife, has also grown in popularity, Cambridge Dictionary said, thanks to the digital world. Meaning, a married woman who stays at home doing cooking, cleaning, and has children that she takes care of, the dictionary definition also says a 'tradwife' is 'especially one who posts on social media'. As well as new phrases, some shortened versions of existing terms have been added, including 'delulu', a play on the world delusional, with a similar definition: 'believing things that are not real or true, usually because you choose to'. Mr McIntosh said Cambridge Dictionary only adds words which they believe will stand the test of time. 'It's not every day you get to see words like 'skibidi' and 'delulu' make their way into the Cambridge Dictionary,' he said. 'We only add words where we think they'll have staying power.' Cambridge Dictionary uses the Cambridge English Corpus, a database of more than two billion words of written and spoken English, to observe how new words are used by different people, how often and in what contexts they are used. More remote working since the pandemic helped 'mouse jiggler', meaning a device or piece of software used to make it seem as though you are working when you are not, gain its place in the dictionary. Some composite terms such as 'broligarchy' were also added. Merging 'bro' and 'oligarchy', the term means 'a small group of men, especially men owning or involved in a technology business, who are extremely rich and powerful, and who have or want political influence', and was used to describe tech leaders Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg attending Donald Trump's inauguration in January. Meanwhile, new entries like 'work wife' and 'work spouse' acknowledge workplace relationships where two people help and trust each other, Cambridge Dictionary said.

Pulisic Controversy Has Turned Into A USMNT Off-The-Field Soap Opera
From now until the end of the 2026 World Cup, there will be an intriguing generational competition concerning the U.S. Men's National Team. No, not inside the team, but heroes of the past and the current squad. It has turned into an interesting off-the-field, he-said, he-said soap opera. The most recent bruhaha came after U.S. standout Christian Pulisic decided to sit out the team's involvement in the Concacaf Gold Cup, saying that he needed a rest after a grueling Serie A season for A.C. Milan. He got slammed by critics, including former USMNT stars that have a voice on TV, streaming, podcasts and blogs. His critics have included Landon Donovan, Alexi Lalas and Tony Meola, among others, who have shared their thoughts, opinions and analysis. Donovan makes his point "This is what it means to represent your country," Donovan said on the FOX broadcast of the UEFA Nations League final in June. He then citied Portugal superstar Ronaldo, who is 40 years old. "He's played a long season. He's tired," Donovan added. "He's out there grinding, hurt himself in the process. And I can't help but think about some of our guys on vacation, not wanting to play in the Gold Cup. It's p---ing me off." It should be noted that Donovan took time off from the national team in 2013. Pulisic makes his point In the latest episode of the docuseries PULISIC, the talented forward claimed that his critics 'disrespected me in a lot of ways, and just completely forgotten about what I've done for this national team." Pulisic, who turns 27 on Sept. 18, made his international debut in 2016. He has become the team's talisman, making 78 appearances while scoring 32 goals, a current team high. "To talk about my commitment? The commitment that I've given to this game? That I've given to my national team, you know, for 10 years?" said on docuseries. "I have paid the price. That's the only thing that starts to get on my nerves. But to be honest, it just fuels me to get back on the field and just shut everyone up and show everyone what I'm about, at the end of the day." Weah isn't happy Wait! It doesn't stop with Pulisic. USMNT teammate Tim Weah, who recently completed a transfer from Juventus to Marseille, called the former players who have dared to criticize the team as "evil." That's right, evil. "I think those guys are chasing checks, and for me, I just feel like they're really evil, honestly, because they've been players and they know what it's like when you're getting bashed," Weah said. Those are the same guys that'll turn around and shake your hand and try to be friends with you at the end of the day. "Don't get me wrong, I respect all of them. They were players that I looked up to. But quite frankly, the guys before us didn't win anything, either." Well, the earlier generations did set the table for the current team. Meola, for example, backstopped the U.S. in its first World Cup appearance in 40 years in 1990. But we'll have to do a U.S. soccer history in another piece. Mark Pulisic defends his son It should not come as a surprise that Pulisic's father, Mark, a former pro soccer player himself, backed his son. "These guys want clicks," he said. "On social media, it's 'subscribe to my channels, listen to my podcasts,' or whatever. I think they should look in the mirror and look at their last performances for the national team before they start talking s#@t." Lalas' response Those remarks opened the door for a response from Lalas on Fox and Meola on the Call It What You Want podcast on CBS Sports. Lalas wrote "don't bring your dad to a fight. I get that Mark Pulisic, like other dads out there, has been involved directly in bringing up, in this case, Christian. I get that he's a former coach. But who brings their dad to a fight? If you're angry at me or Landon or anybody else that is being critical of you, that's fine. You have a platform, you have a microphone – some would say bigger than anybody else out there – to get that off your chest, but you don't need to bring your dad. "Never once has it even occurred to have my father defend me from the slings and arrows that are inevitable but well done. You got me to watch, and you got exactly what you wanted." Meola has his say Meola and Mark Pulisic were teammates on the Oceanside Navahos team that captured the Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association Boys Under-19 crown in 1987. Pulisic scored twice that day, including a late game-winner in a 2-1 triumph over B.W. Gottschee. 'I've been friends with Mark Pulisic for a long time. We played together at the youth level. You gotta stay out, Mark," Meola said. 'I know you're a dad, I know you get emotional, your kid is at the top of the heap, right? I've got other friends in other major sports in America that their kids right now are in top of the heap. They listen to this all the time about their kids. You can't respond. "Stay out. Christian is a big boy. He will be able to do this on his own. He will be able to carry this team.' This criticism and replies aren't about to go away anytime soon, if ever. The U.S. men have two friendlies coming up during the September FIFA international window against a pair of top-flight Asian sides. The Americans will face the Korea Republic at Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, N.J. on Sept. 6 before meeting Japan at Field in Columbus, Ohio on Sept. 9. Like it or not, Pulisic and his teammates will be under the microscopic and then some in those friendlies and anything concerning club or country from now until the end of the European domestic season in May and the first part of the Major League Soccer campaign before it takes its World Cup break. And those criticisms and opinions won't stop with the end of the World Cup. In the media environment that we live in today, it likely will continue forever. Who knows? After this generation of USMNT players retire, they might find themselves in a similar situation when they become media pundits and get an opportunity to share their opinions, criticisms and analysis about another generation.
