Kim Kardashian has once again captured attention, this time during her trip to Brazil, where she attended the premiere of "All’s Fair," her new project as producer and lead actress. True to her ability to turn every public appearance into a fashion moment, the businesswoman opted for a look that celebrates luxury in a theatrical, stage-ready version.

Kim rocked a sleek updo crowned with silver feathers, executed by hairstylist Igor Rosales, who, with this style, redefines the concept of old-school glamour.

The glamorous hairstyle of Kim Kardashian

Kim evoked classic 1930s cabaret through her hairstyle, combining technical precision with a touch of fantasy. Rosales chose a high, perfectly structured, polished bun with an ultra-glossy finish that framed Kardashian’s face and highlighted her exposed neck and shoulders.

For the final touch, the stylist added a soft feather headpiece in shades of gray and white, bringing movement and drama reminiscent of vedettes and the sophistication of Hollywood’s Golden Age.

Obsession with the clean look

During this press tour, Kim has explored a more theatrical side of her image. After years of mastering minimalist glamour, this look marks an evolution toward a more performative femininity, where fashion and beauty interact with theatricality and nostalgia. The cabaret nod, reinterpreted in a modern way, reinforces her visual narrative that she controls her image with the same attention to detail she applies to her businesses.

The hairstyle was paired with classic, vintage-inspired makeup featuring satin-finish skin, sculpted cheekbones, and nude lips that contrast with her now-iconic cat-eye. The entire look worked cohesively to create a polished, sensual, highly photogenic aesthetic. The choice to keep the palette in neutral tones allowed the feathers to become the standout element.

Beyond the hairstyle, this moment reaffirms what Kim has demonstrated time and again: she commands aesthetics as a visual language. She no longer just sets trends; she reinterprets them through her narrative.

Kim's outing comes days after she revealed she failed the bar exam after years of studying in her pursuit to become a lawyer. The beloved reality star shared she didn’t pass the California State Bar Exam. “Well… I’m not a lawyer yet,” she admitted in an Instagram Story, adding with humor, “I just play a very well-dressed one on TV.”

The results were released privately to applicants on Friday evening by the State Bar of California.

Kim went on to reaffirm her commitment to her legal studies, adding, “Six years into this law journey, and I’m still all in until I pass the bar. No shortcuts, no giving up — just more studying and even more determination.” She also thanked her supporters, saying, “Thank you to everyone who has supported and encouraged me along the way so far. Falling short isn’t a failure — It’s fuel. I was so close to passing the exam and that only motivates me even more. Let’s Go!!!!!”

Kim's results were released privately by the State Bar of California. The reality star from the "Kardashians" has discussed her challenges with the First-Year Law Students’ Examination, commonly referred to as the “baby bar,” which she failed three times before ultimately passing.
