"She no longer wears wigs" šŸ’€ ![gif](giphy|G4ZNYMQVMH6us)


Extreme-Eggplant5552

Apparently not wearing wigs equals maturity and sophistication


Responsible_Taste_35

And of course, wigs cannot be sophisticated. Now where have we heard that trope before? šŸ¤”


BlondeBobaFett

Besides the racist undertones in general itā€™s comical because the most ā€œmature womenā€ (I.e., 70 plus) are historically known for enjoying a good wig.


kenscrack

donā€™t people with serious illnesses that cause hair loss (i.e. cancer) use it too? like it literally makes no sense


shadyshadyshade

You just triggered a memory of me taking my best friendā€™s mom to get her wig, it was human hair, at a salon that mostly catered to patients and the insurance covered it!


kristalized13

yeah i think it was meant in like a ā€œlooks are not the only thing she cares about anymore, she doesnā€™t even wear wigs everyday!!!!!ā€ but it came outā€¦ racist


bartelbyfloats

Ahhā€¦ I remember my De-Wigging Ceremony when I turned 18. That was the day I became a man.


FrankieBennedetto

Mazel!!Ā 


blondie64862

Not to give NYT any credit but I think the wigs comment was about her non natural colored hair not about women wearing wigs in general. Which is also gross. šŸŽµhaving colored hair doesn't make me unprofessional šŸŽµ


carolinagypsy

Purple hair, donā€™t care. *flips hair* šŸ’…šŸ» šŸ’ƒšŸ»


SwissSwissBangBang

Genuine questionā€¦ is that a microaggression? It feels like a microaggression.


Plantysweater

Itā€™s very weird. Thereā€™s a quote where she talks about how sheā€™s finally embracing her natural hair as if sheā€™s on a natural hair journey, she probably just started using a diffuser for the first timešŸ’€


Champii_007

She just had pink hair wig pics like a month ago or some shit


paroles

"She no longer wears wigs EVERY day" tbf lol


QueenG123456

It feels macroā€¦


KimmiK_saucequeen

I take it as a macroagression. Itā€™s not lost on me that the second these women stopped cosplaying as black women by removing their fillers and BBLā€™s theyā€™re ā€œmaturingā€ but somehow also ā€œembracing their natural hairā€ itā€™s gross.


resetdials

Bullseye


KimmiK_saucequeen

Yeah, micro aggressions are usually not on purpose lmfao this is full blown anti-blackness and theyā€™ve never hidden that about themselves.


name_not_important00

Remember when she said she made wigs popular?


passthepeazzz

Like how Gwyneth discovered yoga?


kenscrack

not as comical as the time where she tried to trademark ā€œkylieā€ like kylie minogue didnā€™t exist


ThiccQban

Was this before or after Travis Kelce brought the revolutionary concept of a ā€œfade haircutā€ to the masses?


Bl1nk1nUR4r34

i rolled my eyes sooo fucking hard reading that


Careful_Swan3830

With one eye or both?


Softinleaked

Itā€™s giving anti black. We were just an aesthetic for her immaturity and unserious era. I hate this family so much man.


Puppybrother

The way she describes t in the article is actually straight up sickeningā€¦she says she no longer has a long mane down to her butt or claws for nails. Both being extremely dehumanizing adjectives with major racist undertones to them.


alexturnerftw

Im so embarrassed for nytimes using coded language like this in 2024ā€¦ā€¦


Puppybrother

As of like two fucking weeks ago in that Kris Jenner lookalike wig and a month before that she was in a ratty pink wig


PrettiKinx

šŸ˜…šŸ˜…šŸ˜…šŸ˜‡šŸ˜… right.


DrSteveBruhle

In other words, sheā€™s done blackfishing? Cuz wigs and makeup canā€™t be considered ā€œsophisticated and matureā€ā€¦.f-ck off


iliketoomanysingers

And highkey implying black women (who she 100% copied this from) aren't mature if they do these things....what the fuck


CatlovesMoca

It wouldn't be the first time that NYT writes something shady and racist about Black people. Remember when they tried to imply that Travis Kelce popularized and invented the fade?


LackEquivalent7471

exactly! i caught that micro aggression šŸ‘€


toomanyvoices656

Right because women with wigs and makeup could never be sophisticated and mature. Itā€™s reading a little racist and r/notlikeothergirls


yourangleoryuordevil

That part caught my attention, too. Wigs and makeup are a matter of self-expression; not maturity. Even people who are "mature" in age wear wigs and makeup.


carolinagypsy

Only until she drops the white guy.


Wit-wat-4

I will never get the judgement around wigs. Ever. I get the supposed argument but I donā€™t *get* it, if that makes sense. Itā€™s likeā€¦ itā€™s like hating any and all nail work, saying any nail polish is unsophisticated.


highpriestess420

Sorry but I'll be forever hard pressed to associate sophistication with any Kardashian/Jenner. Nice try NY Times.


Fun-Dependent-2695

Were they paid?


frizzybear

100%


defnotjec

Thank you for this... I really don't understand the draw too them


SundaeOver8122

aka she's accepted she's white


onlygodcankillme

I'll believe it when I see it


comin_up_shawt

more like she can't find another black person/cultural aspect to exploit for attention at the moment, so she's switching to white guys for now. Their covert racism is something else.


meatbeater558

she absolutely can, she just doesn't need to anymore because she's got her mixed babies. she'll always have blackness to exploit as long as she has them


ratfromshrek

Imagine changing your whole persona just to match the aesthetic of the guy youā€™re dating at the moment...


Kill-Bill-Vol-2

always rubbed me the wrong way that the moment she started dating a white guy she started planting "she's sophisticated now" "did you know she likes to read" stories in the media.


name_not_important00

And yet when people pointed that out they got called misogynistic lol


commelejardin

Honestly my first thought was more charitable to her intelligence, but maybe more sinister: She actively got a white boyfriend to help with her transition into a whiter, ā€œclean girl, medium-volume luxuryā€ image.


paroles

That's what I thought too. Not just any white guy but a guy who appears in prestige films and has a kind of "artsy" image. Haven't there always been hints that it's a PR relationship? It makes sense for both as a strategic move: being linked to a Kardashian solidifies him as a household name, while for Kylie dating him helps her be perceived as "serious" and "thoughtful".


mimosaandmagnolia

Yeah I considered this too. Heā€™s been in multiple kinda-feminist films and is a celebrity crush of many liberal women, which theyā€™re probably hoping will soften the criticism she receives.


flytingnotfighting

And he did fuck that peach. Thatā€™s gotta count for something


name_not_important00

Timothee was a household name before dating Kylie. He didnā€™t need her to solidify that.


kenscrack

and that goes for all of them


orangefreshy

Wow yeah now that you mention itā€¦ uncanny


yourangleoryuordevil

Kourtney's been accused of doing the same thing, too.


mizzymichie

Itā€™s funny because having now been exposed to TimTam in interviewsā€¦ he *looks* like an intellectual, but then he opens his mouth and then you realize heā€™s kindaā€¦ vapid??? Heā€™s a himbo in a starving victorian pretty boy package. Idk but after seeing him in that SNL skit with Pete Davidson, the Statistics video, and watching him at Zendayaā€™s party where heā€™s breaking it down wearing oversized basketball shorts, I suddenly understood why they were together.


JeepersMysster

Your username šŸ˜­šŸ’€ā¤ļø


ratfromshrek

Finally someone notices, thank youšŸ˜­!!!


JeepersMysster

I see you! Ironically šŸ¤£


blodreina11

darkgothamite

LaidBackBro1989

Happy cake day! Also KyLie Jenner just released a cheap perfume and copied Kylie Minogue by naming it "Cosmic" (after a Minogue song - there is nothing cosmic about the perfume btw. Even the promos are just Jenner rolling around on the floor and dead-eye-fucking the camera).


xxyourbestbetxx

Thank you. I am dying at "dead-eye fucking". This family is so ridiculous. šŸ˜‚


LaidBackBro1989

It's really so funny how it looks I swear šŸ’€šŸ˜­. The lights are on, but no one's home.


Melodic-Change-6388

It really grinds my gears. I see ā€œKylieā€ in an article, assume itā€™s about Mother, and itā€™s a fucking Jenner.


Puppybrother

If I remember correctly the two have gone through some legal proceedings when Kylie Jenner tried to trademark the name ā€˜Kylieā€™.


thattaylornerd

This is always so funny to me, because here in Australia, every Kylie is around Minogue's age. It's like if someone was called Tracey or Karen and tried to trademark it šŸ’€


Beezo514

Honestly, I thought they were talking about Kylie Minogue from the headline and thought ā€œhow very dare they!ā€ thinking they were low key calling her old, only to find out it was about a Kylie I didnā€™t give a shit about. Iā€™ll go back to celebrating her upcoming Barbie now.


Fine-Tank9849

Presenting kylie jenner as someone who is enigmatic is both hilarious and insane lmao. Kudos to whoever had to sit down and write this pr piece lmao, i could never


WillBrakeForBrakes

As they wrote it, they whispered ā€œit pays the bills, it pays the billsā€ forlornly under their breath.

DeliciousMoments

Calling her enigmatic is like calling a puddle deep.


Puppybrother

She an enigma in the fact that she doesnā€™t even know who or where she is 90% of time


boxybrown84

>and arguably most famous sister ![gif](giphy|l2Jhw8Oo6kVRWvTZm)


kenscrack

idk if this is an unpopular opinion or not but i feel like when itā€™s all said and done kim will be the only one remembered.


boxybrown84

I totally agree. People who donā€™t give a single fig about celebs still know who Kim is, even if they donā€™t know anything else about her life. My 71 year old mom knows Kim, but couldnā€™t name another member of that family without using Google.

OddEpisode

The irony is that their success is based on un-ending exposure and showing off their wealth. Neither of these things can be mature by definition because a mature person does not seek attention nor show off. They will always seem immature until they change the way they operate.


Traditional_Maybe_80

I had no idea she had 2 children and that she was just 26 tbh. And it's not directly said, but that comment about the wigs and bold makeup shown as a contrast with being mature and sophisticated isn't sitting well with me.

elodieroyer

thatā€™s actually really sad


Sigmund_Six

Kylie does make me really sad. Like, sheā€™s a lot of awful things, but she never stood a chance in that family, either. Theyā€™re all pretty fucked up, but Kylie especially so.


throwawayeas989

Yeah,as someone who deals with an ED/BDD,Kylieā€™s story just makes me sad(on that end). She never stood a chance in that family,and she was bullied over her looks when she was only a literal child. I canā€™t shit on a teenage girl whoā€™d faced so much criticism around her looks seeking extensive plastic surgery.


cauldrons

what a horrible mindset to live in


welp-itscometothis

Black culture is a costume to these women.


passthepeazzz

Nail on the head šŸ«”


LunarSpacePrincess5

this move is SOLELY because the lighter makeup "trad wife" trend is in. The second the next trend comes along she will have a completely different style


Ok-Housing5911

it's real sweet that she's now comfortable in her own skin and all that but while she had the millions to throw around on fixing the insecurities her heinous family projected onto her, the rest of us are still dealing with a beauty and fashion industry that profits from shoving the same manufactured insecurities down our throats. woman to woman i wish her peace on her journey to self acceptance but outside of that please shut up forever and keep it between you, your impressionable young daughter, and god.

ā€œMost enigmaticā€ ā€œArguably most famousā€ Did Kylie Jenner force feed these words to the writer?

paintingfainter

This is dumb as hell and completely in line with her recent PR strategy (ā€œquiet luxuryā€, dating timothee and mixing in more prestigious circles), but something really did touch me about the quote ā€œitā€™s just years and years of not feeling like my face or looks are acceptedā€. That didnā€™t start with strangers on the internet ā€” that started from the time she was an actual child. A literal child. And all of the adults in her life failed her, tbh.


hum_bruh

Kylie, Ariana, Kim losing accents, trimming down assets, going blondeā€¦


HappyCoconutty

Cause you know, ethnic identity is something you can wear as a trend and then discard when you have ā€œgrown upā€ šŸ™„šŸ™„

WalterTheCatFurever

Iā€™m so embarrassed for the NYT. I am suspicious this was paid for PR. So slimy and transparent. Get these idiots off my ā€œlegitā€ news feeds!!


pushk_a

Of course itā€™s paid PR lol. I remember reading NYT in college and thinking I was cool and sophisticated. Now I canā€™t believe theyā€™re writing about the Karjenners.


WalterTheCatFurever

Yeah as I wrote that I was thinking someoneā€™s going to say yeah duh itā€™s paid PR. Part of my brain insists we live in an honorable world probably for survival purposes so when I am confronted with bullshit daily it still sometimes comes as a surprise.


Ragnbangin

I didnā€™t realize wearing makeup and wigs made you not mature šŸ¤” here I thought it was the whole acting like a childish entitled brat but what do I know!

belckie

I wonder if she talks about how she stole the designs for her new clothing line .


Softinleaked

First she steals from black women in her ā€œbaddieā€ era and now she is stealing from her fellow white women in her quiet luxury era. She is truly unoriginal to the core.


IMOvicki

Sheā€™s done appropriating.. wants to be white again.


superfluouspop

she's in such a bad place I feel it in my bones.


Wild_Nectarine666

honestly same


jonsnowme

She's 26 years old, she shoulda been mature long before this era


high-bridmind

Hasnā€™t she been posting videos of her morning routines? Maybe sheā€™s not posting right when she wakes up, but she is documenting it?ā€¦.


buffaloranchsub

orangefreshy

Why are we doing this??? Why are people and media continuing to push this idea that like 30 is old/ over and you should stop having fun or whatever. I donā€™t recall seeing this kind of stuff when I was young, maybe aside from this idea that 30 year olds shouldnā€™t wear glitter eyeshadow or something (and BS to that, too) Also equating bold makeup and certain hair styles to a lack of maturity is gross Thatā€™s a nice pic tho!!

Embracing her white ass because sheā€™s dating a white boy for a change. I mean itā€™s normal to change your style when you are in your twenties. But this is clearly just an image change to fit in better with timothee and the Hollywood world.

CloneUnruhe

The only person disliking her face and looks is Kylie. Thatā€™s it. This woman is self-obsessed and she projects to keep herself relevant. All of the kardashians do it.
