Key Takeaways
- Kendall Jenner showed off the prettiest softly waved bob while out and about in New York City.
- She rounded out the look with more of our favorite trends: butter yellow and some fall flip flop action.
For the last couple of years (and especially the last few months), I’ve been on constant bob watch. If you’re not in the same position, that means using your doomscrolling time to zoom in on everyone’s hair and decode if they recently got a trim.
It’s a pretty noble task to take on, and features just the right amount of self-servingness. We all need to know what the cool girls are doing with their hair, and how they style their short cuts will be important intel to take into consideration when I inevitably decide to take the plunge myself. The latest girlie to go short? Miss Kendall Jenner,

Kendall Jenner’s Wavy Bob
Jenner showed off a gently waved bob while walking around New York’s West Village on Sunday, September 14. The model’s famous dark locks fell right at shoulder length, with the naturally curled ends just brushing her butter yellow dress.

It’s a darling haircut, and most likely a fresh one. Though she’s gone short before, the last few days have been bob city for the 29-year-old, especially when you compare the cut to the long locks she had on the September cover of Vogue.

Maybe doing the shoot with her bobbed bestie, Gigi Hadid, convinced her to go in for a chop? If anything, she probably played a role in styling inspiration. It turns out that famously sleek hair has some curve after all. I’d almost forgotten.

Once you have the hair down, it’s pretty easy to emulate Jenner’s off-duty fashion week style. Throw on a weather appropriate butter-shaded dress of your choosing and slip on your favorite pair of flip flops—they’re a fall staple now, too.
