In a move that can only be described as “I-woke-up-and-decided-to-be-a-mermaid,” Kylie Jenner, queen of all things lips and lavishness, decided to hit the town looking like the human embodiment of a tropical ocean wave. On Wednesday evening (aka fashion judgment day), the 27-year-old Kylie Cosmetics mogul and reality TV empress strolled into West Hollywood’s Sushi Park, unleashing a cascade of teal hair that could stop traffic (and probably did).
Fans everywhere whispered, “Is this the return of ‘King Kylie?’” or maybe that was just the sound of jaws dropping.
Kylie didn’t just serve teal hair – no, no, no. She paired it with the classic “I’m-casually-fabulous” look: a cropped white tank top, because why wear sleeves when you can flaunt those famous abs? And, oh, let’s not forget the green baseball cap that screamed, “Yes, I’m here to eat sushi, but I’ll also be accepting my crown shortly.”
By Thursday afternoon, Kylie, benevolent as ever, blessed her followers with more shots of her aquatic-inspired makeover on social media. Posing in her car (because Kylie only does car selfies in perfect lighting), she rocked another white top, dark nails, and an attitude that said, “Yeah, this is who I am now, deal with it.”
“Teal the end of time,” she captioned the post. Was that a pun? A prophecy? Both? We may never know.
But fans were thrilled—nay, overwhelmed—with nostalgia for Kylie’s “King Kylie” era. For those living under a social media rock, this was the time when Kylie was constantly changing hair colors faster than you could refresh your Instagram feed. From turquoise to lavender, “King Kylie” ruled the hair-color kingdom with an iron flat iron.
In the comments section, followers declared, “She’s back to play!” And by “play,” they probably mean “dominate the world of beauty and sushi dinners once more.”
Is this the official return of “King Kylie”? Only the teal-toned queen herself can say. But one thing’s for sure: if you see a flash of blue-green walking toward a sushi restaurant, bow down—you’re in the presence of royalty.
