After accidentally revealing newly-dyed platinum blonde locks below a beanie at Paris Fashion Week, Kim Kardashian officially debuted her new look on Thursday.
Though the immediate reaction on Twitter was to compare the slicked-back blonde hair to that of Harry Potter villain Draco Malfoy, the image change is no joke. It’s sure to reverberate throughout the Kardashian empire. Will her avatar go blonde in the uber-popular Kim Kardashian mobile game? Will her husband, Kanye West, croon about blondes in a new song? Will going blonde be a plot-line on the next Keeping Up?
As mundane as the plot-line might sound, Kim’s debate over dying her hair could certainly appear on her reality TV show, especially since Kim’s sister Khloe also posted about her new blonde hair last week on Instagram. Stay tuned!

In the issue she talks about Caitlyn Jenner, her marriage to Kanye West and her love for the Backstreet Boys.Terry Richardson—Rolling StoneFrom the #worldsmosttalkedaboutcouple to the #worldsmosttalkedaboutbutt. Kim Kardashian already got national attention for being naked when a sex tape went public in 2007, but as the new cover of Paper magazine suggests, it's still her body — not her multi-million dollar iPhone game, not her TV show, not her marriage to Kanye West — that has the power to "break the Internet."Jean-Paul Goude—PaperKardashian called her first Vogue cover "a dream come true," while critics accused to magazine of chasing what was trendy rather than defining it. "As for the cover, my opinion is that it is both charming and touching, and it was, I should add, entirely our idea to do it," Anna Wintour said in its defense.Annie Leibovitz—VogueBefore Kanye and Kim posed for Vogue, they posed on the cover of the French magazine L'Officiel Hommes in 2013. Is this just a strikingly suggestive pose or actual candid moment between now-spouses? Probably a little of both when it comes to this steamy photo shoot.Nick Knight—L'Officiel HommesIn 2012, Kardashian graced the cover of V magazine — shot by Nick Knight, who also shot her L'Officiel Hommes cover — and defended her reality show empire in the magazine's pages by comparing it to rap music. "When rap music first came out, people were like, 'We don't understand this, what is this, it's just a fad.' But rap music is definitely here to stay, and I think reality shows have proven they are as well."Nick Knight—V MagazineChanneling the typographic work of the iconic American artist Barbara Kruger, the cover of W magazine's November 2010 issue found Kim Kardashian (almost) bearing it all. Inside its pages, the only layer she had on was a thin coat of silver body paint.Mark Seliger—W MagazineKim Kardashian lands magazine covers because she's a familiar face, but that didn't matter to YRB. The magazine made her look near unrecognizable in a bob and dramatic makeup for a 2012 photo shoot that she later called "one of the most unique shoots [she's] ever done."YRBTwo of America's biggest style icons met in 2009 when Kim Kardashian dressed up like Barbie, who "guest edited" an issue of Australia's Kurv magazine. But it's no surprise the star would say yes to a magazine that starts with the letter K.KurvA 2009 shoot for Complex caused controversy when the magazine's website accidentally published an unretouched photo of Kim Kardashian. While it reignited the ongoing debate about beauty standards, Kardashian herself wasn't mad. "So what? I have a little cellulite," Kardashian later wrote on her website. "What curvy girl doesn't? How many people do you think are Photoshopped? It happens all the time!"ComplexKim Kardashian was the most-clothed person on the cover of Prestige magazine's September 2010 issue when she posed with two naked men while looking like a sexed-up gladiator. "This might be one of my most risque covers to date!" she tweeted.PrestigeIn 2012, Kim Kardashian covered New York magazine's fashion issue, which asked whether she had a place in the industry. Since then, she's only shown that the answer to that question is a resounding yes as she attended Paris Fashion Week and the Met Ball and landed that Vogue cover — a magazine that in the past has been not-so-open-minded about women with curvy figures like hers.New York Magazine
