Although it's not summer, Kim Kardashian was seen wearing flip-flops as she strolled around Los Angeles on Friday, December 8. The 43-year-old reality star paired her cozy fall outfit with this unexpected choice of footwear.

Kardashian confidently embraced the chilly weather in a sleek black sweatsuit paired with a black overcoat and a stylish baseball cap, completing the ensemble with black sandals. She added a pop of color with red-lens sunglasses and held a cup of coffee as she strutted her unique style. Once again, Kardashian demonstrated her willingness to defy conventional fashion and beauty trends.

Last month, she revealed a stunning honey blonde hair color at a time when many are opting for darker tones to embrace the changing seasons. The major hair transformation was showcased at the GQ Men of the Year party in L.A., coinciding with the publication's 2023 Men of the Year issue honoring Kardashian alongside Travis Scott and Jacob Elordi.

Kardashian sported a light caramel mane with dark roots and subtle sunny highlights, which beautifully matched her cinnamon-colored Chrome Hearts two-piece. The custom-made set, featuring the fashion house’s signature cross patches, was designed specifically for Kardashian. This brief return to blonde followed her platinum era in 2022, during which she rocked icy tresses for most of the year, debuting the transformation at the Met Gala.

Kardashian showcased her newly colored locks in a slicked-back bun for fashion’s grandest night, allowing her vintage Bob Mackie gown to stand out. The gown, famously worn by Marilyn Monroe when she serenaded President John F. Kennedy on his 45th birthday in 1962, perfectly complemented Kardashian’s blonde hair. The crystal-covered frock, in a champagne hue, was the perfect match for Kardashian’s goal, as revealed by hairstylist Chris Appleton.

He stated to Vogue that the simple hair look was meant to emphasize the platinum color and draw attention to both the hair and the dress. He aimed for it to be iconic in Marilyn Monroe's style as well as in Kim's blonde phase. Kardashian disclosed in her sister Kylie Jenner's Married to the Met YouTube video that the whole process took "14 hours" and she was so dedicated to the transformation that she was willing to "risk getting my hair to fall out." At the red carpet, Kardashian expressed her excitement about staying blonde for an extended period.
