Friendly reminder: if you haven't been on Instagram within the last 24 hours, then you may have missed Kris Jenner's iconic throwback post. And yes, by iconic we really do mean that this trumps Kylie's snippet post of her baby son. Well, by my standards, anyway...
At present, you may be wondering what said post could be. Have the clan started a new Kar-Jenner brand? Or perhaps the 12th (or is it the 13th? No, 14th?) grandchild is on its way? And whilst both theories are very probable, instead, the mumager has shared a picture of herself from way back when. She's a legend, there's no doubt about it.
The 10-part picture carousel was posted in celebration of Kris' best friend's birthday and in the lengthy caption, she writes: "Thank you for being with me by my side for more than 35 years!!!!". So, by my calculations, the following snaps of her and Sheila go as far back as 1987. I guess that would explain the then-on-trend bob and micro-fringe haircut.
Though, having said that, we could totally see Kris rocking this look today. Side note: is anyone else getting major Queen Cleopatra vibes?
Now, if you keep up (see what I did there) to date with our *almost* daily Kar-Jen public service announcements, then you would know all about KJ's recent hair journey. Yep, this isn't the first time we've seen her sport a bob and bang. Oh, and not to mention that blonde wig she wore at the 2019 Met Gala. Let's reminisce:
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Legend status only.
