From Sofia Richie-Grainge to Victoria Beckham, the bob has garnered a long legion of devotees this summer. We now have a new duo to add to the list: Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner. The mother-daughter duo revealed a pair of wavy, French bobs during Paris Couture Week, and it's safe to say that summer's most coveted hairstyle has arrived.

Kardashian took to the streets of Paris, giving the classic crop a Hollywood makeover, thanks to elaborate waves and a flicked-out finish. Arriving at Demna Gvasalia’s final couture show for Balenciaga, Kardashian showed off the new hairstyle, which had been fixed with an ensemble of clips to set her waves in place.

Kim Kardashian was among a starry A-list crowd at the show, but instead of sitting front row for the unveiling of Gvasalia’s last collection, the business mogul walked the runway draped in a lavish feathered coat and diamond earrings, which were on loan from jeweller Lorraine Schwartz and were once worn by Elizabeth Taylor.

This was not Kardashian's first stint on the runway. She walked in Balenciaga's autumn/winter 2022 couture show, with a bleach blonde top knot, undone roots, and two swaggering strands framing her face.

Kim wasn't the only member of the Kardashian family adopting a new hairstyle in Paris during Couture week. Just a day earlier, Jenner also revealed a rippled bob paired with choppy bangs, which took on a softer, less uniform finish, and was a distinct move away from her classic pixie cut. She launched the look on Instagram and credited the hairstylist Oskar Pera for the chop. Later, Jenner was spotted on the streets of Paris with her new hairstyle.

For anyone looking to replicate their textured crop, 'it's a thick and luxurious hairstyle, cut with blunt lines and minimal layering, combined with voluminous, cushioned blow-dry styling,' hairstylist Tom Smith previously told ELLE.

Smith says the look will suit those who want to cultivate an aesthetic that is more 'polished and grown-up.' Well, Kardashian and Jenner look unquestionably polished. While the mother-daughter duo are known for their ever-shifting style, they certainly make a strong case for a Parisian bob.
