Kim Kardashian's Drastic Haircut Is Stirring Up Plenty of Reactions from Fans
As anyone who has kept up with the Kardashians over the years knows, whenever one of the sisters goes through a major hair transformation, it turns into a big event on social media.
Kim Kardashian took the low-key route this time, unveiling her brand new look—a chin-length sleek bob—through a SKIMS video shared on social media announcing the arrival of a new bra. But instead of the push-up bra, all fans wanted to talk about was her hair.
When Pop Base shared screenshots from the clip on Twitter, many couldn't help voicing their thoughts on the fresh cut.
Many thought she was tapping into her inner Willy Wonka from Tim Burton's 2005 remake.
And when she starts running a Chocolate Factory. What then? https://t.co/PCRUpYaZmC

Others felt that Kardashian was copying Taylor Swift, with the timing coinciding with the announcement of 1989 (Taylor's Version).
I still can’t believe 1989 (Taylor’s Version) was announced 6 days ago like that’s actually crazy. Image unrelated. https://t.co/IrvCIE8kNB

One viral tweet with over 50,000 likes likened Kardashian's hairdo to the one donned by Shrek villain Lord Farquaad.

Some felt that it was a similar look to RuPaul's Drag Race season 14 contestant Kerri Colby's confessional style. Colby has often been compared to the Kardashian sisters because of her uncanny resemblance to them.

A tweet also made reference to her feud with sister Kourtney, joking that the 42-year-old stole her older sibling's hairstyle as revenge for the 44-year-old "stealing" her "wedding country."
