After her mom’s 70th birthday bash in Los Angeles, Kim Kardashian touched down in Rio de Janeiro with her fellow “All’s Fair” castmates for a special event hosted by Hulu and Disney+ on Monday. On the plum carpet, next to Sarah Paulson and Naomi Watts, the 45-year-old Skims founder proved to be ahead of the hair trends with an avant-garde updo likely crafted by her longtime stylist, Chris Appleton.
Rather than letting her inky black hair fall freely around her shoulders, her ends were pulled tightly away from her face, with stationary, spiky ends and gray feathers protruding from her bun in the back.

Meanwhile, Kardashian’s makeup was comprised of a bronzy base, bright undereye concealer, spider lashes and champagne-colored shimmer on her lids. The reality star’s lips were dressed in her usual matte nude lipstick, lined with a rose-taupe hue.
The look may have been courtesy of makeup artist Raoul Alejandre, whose star-studded client list includes Charli XCX and Ayo Edebiri. Kardashian and Alejandre recently teamed up to imagine her mermaid makeup for her mom’s birthday on Saturday; however, the entrepreneur has consistently worked with Mario Dedivanovic, founder of Makeup by Mario, who could also be the artist behind her makeup in Brazil. WWD has contacted both Alejandre and Dedivanovic for comments.
In her “All’s Fair” press tour era, Kardashian stayed true to the slicked-updo aesthetic, playing with unique twists and braided buns in the back. Her cylinder chignon stuck out at Kris Jenner’s 0070 party, constructed, once again, by Appleton. Here, Kardashian’s hair was parted down the middle and braided over and over again in a bun down the back of her head.
These futuristic updos are what Sydney Sweeney’s hairstylist Glen Oropeza predicts will be the hottest hair trend of 2026. Oropeza pointed to Kardashian’s recent looks as examples of what to watch out for in the coming months.
“I think you’re gonna start seeing a lot more of this like up style that feels modern and new, as opposed to vintage,” Oropeza told WWD. “I think for a long time, hair down was such a thing. I think as hairstylists, we’re a little sick of it.”
