Kim Kardashian is serving up an American Haircut Story.
The Kardashians star debuted a drastic new 'do at the Fourth Annual Fifteen Percent Pledge Gala in Los Angeles Feb. 1, showing off her chic bob after having over half a foot of her hair cut off.
Kim stepped out for the star-studded event in support of Black businesses wearing a black Balmain halter-style patchwork dress that was completely backless and featured crocodile and chainmail embellishments. But it was the reality star's dramatic new hairstyle that captured everyone's attention.
The 44-year-old's longtime pal Chris Appleton shared details on Kim's on-trend new look.
"Love this new chop on kim, we got 7 inches off her hair!" the celebrity hairstylist captioned a Feb. 2 Instagram carousel post featuring a photo of her full look, one of them together and a third of Kim's chopped-off hair laying on the ground in the shape of a heart. "(No it’s not a wig before u start lol)"
He added, "To style we opt for an iconic Deep side part Tom Ford Gucci 96 inspired."
Kim also shared photos from the event showcasing her new hairdo, writing on her Instagram Stories Feb. 1, "Congrats @emmagrede on such a special night raising money to support victims of the Altadena fire and support Black entrepreneurs and businesses @15percentpledge."
The SKIMS founder's latest outing comes just after the release of the trailer for the upcoming season of The Kardashians, which teases that Kim's been dating again.
"I had the intention of staying single. I was fully lying to you guys," Kim says in a confessional in the video, released Jan. 17 but filmed last year. "Me, not dating and not wanting love and attention? I don't think you know me."
In another scene shown in the trailer, the future All's Fair star tells someone on the phone, "I have a dinner with someone."
While it's unclear who she's potentially been seeing, it's the first time Kim's been romantically linked to someone since she was spotted out several times with Odell Beckham Jr. in late 2023 and early 2024.

Sex Inspired by Her Grandma
During an October 2022 episode, Kim recalled to her grandmother, MJ Campbell, how she and then-boyfriend Pete Davidson got frisky in front of a roaring fire.
"Pete and I were staying at the Beverly Hills Hotel last weekend, and we were sitting in front of the fireplace, just talking for hours. And I was like, 'My grandma told me that you really live life when you have sex in front of the fireplace,'" Kim said. "And so, we had sex in front of the fireplace in honor of you."
"How creepy to think about your grandma before you have sex?" she remarked, prompting MJ to respond, "I know, but I was younger once."
Her Age Limits
Nearly a year after her breakup from Pete, Kim discussed her ideal age range when it comes to her dating life. "They can't be too old. I don't like the old thing," she said on The Kardashians in June 2023. "But I don't like the really young thing, either."

"The one thing I learned from my last situation was the media made me feel like I was in, like, a very serious relationship so quickly," Kim admitted on the show, months after her breakup with Pete. "I just want to sneak around a little bit. There's nothing wrong with wanting to sneak."
