What does the woman who has it all get? Of course, a Sable, a ’54 convertible, a yacht, and a platinum mine deed. Don’t worry, Kim Kardashian is very, very good at asking Santa for presents.
On Sunday, the 44-year-old posted an original music video to her social media channels in which she performed a breathless, honest, kind of great version of “Santa Baby.” While the entire four-and-a-half minute video is impressive (Macaulay Culkin plays Santa Claus with a video camera), there’s one thing that immediately stands out about the project’s vision. It’s her hair.
In what appears to be an homage to Kardashian’s first dance to the track, which she recorded with her sisters in deep-rooted blonde buns slicked back during an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, she celebrated the momentous occasion. I decided to lighten my hair again. To make things even more exciting, she wore her platinum all-over locks in a bob with messy ’80s bangs.
The reality star’s work was done by celebrity hairstylist Jake Gallagher, a true master of wigs. Her messy, layered hair retains its volume even as she crawls through a house party (can I call it that? Please tell me) attended by elves, dancers, and businessmen, lying on the floor and vacuuming. Ta. Famous head.
Lily Keyes, who has worked extensively with Kardashian on recent Skims campaigns, did the make-up, creating a beautiful smokey eye, thick eyebrows, and very dark eyebrows for directors Nadia Lee Cohen and Charlie Dennis. Created glossy pink lips.
As it turns out, if the businesswoman was smart enough to subscribe to the song on Spotify instead of having it play on her feed, her holiday style might stand the test of time. Has a new Christmas icon been born? There’s no reason her middle name is “Noelle.”
