Guys, I'm not sure how many times I need to repeat myself when I say that the deeeep 00s-inspired side-parting is back. Yes, Megan Fox, Lindsay Lohan and Dua Lipa have all confirmed it recently but another group who just cemented the look as a trend is Kim Kardashian and her fans. Just look at the endless stream of comments on the reality star's new Instagram post.
Following on from her debut 'liquid hair' photoshoot just the other day, Kim uploaded a three-part carousel where we can see her blonde layered lengths in all their glory. But of course, it's how the locks have been styled that fans cannot get over. Though, before we get to what people are saying, first, why don't you take a peek at the look for yourselves:
Is anyone else getting major circa 2006 MySpace 'scene' era flashbacks? It's the hair over the eye for me.
Taking to the comments to share their thoughts, her sister, Khloé wrote: "Kimberly you look amazing!!!!", whilst model and friend, Emily Ratajkowski also commented: "side part 😍". And fans, too, shared the love.
One person wrote: "Side part!!! 🔥🔥🔥".
Another said: "uhhhh I love the side part".
Everyone's clicking on...
A third added: "Love the hair 😍🤍🤍".
Having said that, it's not just Instagram where fans have been praising the look. Some even took to Twitter to share their thoughts.
Vibey indeed.
Hair aside, in the caption of the post, Kim wrote: "time will always tell" and IDK about you but I am very intrigued to know what this is in reference to. Could it be about her ex-boyfriend, Pete Davidson?
Spill the beans, Kimberly.
