16 Iconic Kendall Jenner Hairstyles

Kendall Jenner Hairstyles

Jenner is a famous brunette and the definition of “I look gorgeous and didn’t even try.” Her simplicity made it possible almost to predict her next hairstyle—and guess what color she’d choose. Of course, it’s brunette.

But the famous supermodel had dipped her toe into different light colors throughout her career. So, while it’s easy to pin down her go-to everyday beauty style, her supermodel persona keeps us guessing.

On the runway, she’s rocked various lengths and accessorized her hairstyles in ways that make them more outstanding.

This year, though, seems to be her moment for sending the world into even more of a frenzy. Earlier, she debuted her shortest haircut ever, and now she’s turned heads with a blonde clavi cut, ditching her signature brunette.

With the 29-year-old media personality and model serving us hair inspiration lately–and throughout her career—we can’t help but stay captivated. Here, we've gathered some of her iconic hairstyles for you to check out.

Oh, and before we forget, we’ve included her best top knot looks. We know you’ll love to try recreating them!

1. Half Ponytail

This look is quintessentially Kendall, we know that for a fact. Her half ponytail was lifted slightly on top for a chic vibe, while the rest of her front hair was styled into a sleek ponytail.

Paired with golden earrings, the look was elevated and made her outfit pop in the best way possible. We agree it's elegant yet effortless—totally on-brand for Kendall's signature polished vibe.

2. Undone Updo

Updos like this are nothing new for Kendall. They’re simple, classy, and have just the right amount of drama for the day.

Undone Updo

We call this one "undone" because it’s meant to look effortlessly chic, not too smooth or sleek. Her tresses were carefully arranged to achieve that vibe, with the soft tendrils framing her face, adding to the "undone" feel. The key ingredient? The pins kept her hair perfectly secured and in place, giving her a classic look for the night.

3. Middle Part Lob

Though it has the well-known middle part, this lob still gave everything it was meant to. The subtle waves, the volume, and the length all came together to create a look that was stylish and full of life.

If you want to recreate this look, it's easy. Gather your styling tools, hairspray, and serum. Create your waves, making sure they’re loose and not too defined. Then, add your products for that glossy finish. You can even apply the products before using your hot tools. And that’s everything!

4. Slicked Back

Kendall Jenner's red carpet-looks are to die for! They just work beautifully to complement her fit effortlessly.

Take this slicked-back hairstyle, for example—it perfectly highlights the V-neck of the dress and the green earrings. You can’t deny how the hairstyle, outfit, and earrings all worked to create a magical look for the event.

5. Top Knot with Bangs

Ah, here’s one of Kendall’s iconic top knot hairstyles. Top knots are practically her signature, but this one with bangs was truly red-carpet-worthy.

The bangs beautifully framed her face, highlighting her cheekbones and jawline. While they fell naturally around her eyebrows and face, the wispiness added a dramatic touch that instantly elevated the look. As for the top knot, it was just as we imagined—unique and sophisticated.

6. Blonde for Versace

Blonde for Versace

In 2019, Kendall took it up a notch with sleek, blonde locks for Versace. The transformation shocked everyone, especially since she’s known for her love of darker shades. Of course, she quickly dyed it back, calling it fun but a bit scary. Still, we’re glad her blonde hair got to shine during Milan Fashion Week—undeniably romantic and stunning on the runway.

7. Polished Updo

Keeping her hair polished is Kendall’s signature move. She’s nailed countless polished styles, and somehow, each time, it looks just as flawless. Her updo, in particular, are a standout—she pulls them off effortlessly, giving serious diva vibes.

Whether it’s a casual day out or the red carpet, Kendall’s bun always works, and it looks fresh every time.

8. Blonde Clavicut

Clavicut is the next big trend, and Kendall just added her touch to our list of favorite cuts. Styled in a buttery blonde, it’s fascinating how it blends with her natural brown roots, creating a stunning contrast. The visible roots, paired with the flipped ends, really caught our attention, and it's obvious why.

This look was a significant shakeup from her usual color styles, clearly made for Fashion Month. Seeing it, however, was a happy moment for all of us.

9. Pixie Cut

Thanks to Calvin Klein, we caught a glimpse of Kendall Jenner rocking a daring ‘nano-bob’ this year. A blend of pixie and bob, it was short in the front and slightly longer at the back. Though brief, it perfectly suited her and brought fresh energy to the campaign.

Kendall doesn’t often take such a bold plunge into the world of extreme cuts, but whenever she does, it's nothing short of iconic.

This is one of the looks you won't have trouble styling. Just straighten your hair using your tool, add a serum or a moisturizer while doing so, and then pull it into a high ponytail. You can use hair extensions if you want them longer and fuller.

The middle part also played a part in creating a balanced look, proving to be more effective than anyone thought.

You can style this by dividing your hair in the middle. Then, sleek both sides using your product before pulling them up into a knot.

14. Met Gala 2024

Take a look again and again—this hairstyle was it! The long half-up, half-down style couldn’t have been more perfect.

Divided at the top and pinned on each side, it flowed gorgeously down her back—absolutely phenomenal, in fact, a chef’s kiss. And if you look closely, not a single hair was out of place. Each strand stayed exactly where it was supposed to.

Now, let’s talk about the texture. It was perfectly textured, giving off major princess vibes. You’d want nothing more than this—nothing could top it. It was truly the look for us. No argument there.

Put your hair in a half-top knot for those baby girl vibes. This look is easy to create, and we’re grateful to Kendall for making it a signature.
