The conversation then turned to the topic of gray hair, which Kardashian said she's yet to experience. "That's how dark your hair is. Be glad because the alternative is when you go gray, it's a whole other ball," cohost Kelly Ripa, 51, jokingly warned. "I've heard. I have not gone gray yet – I haven't had gray hair yet. Isn't that weird?" Kardashian replied, which prompted Ripa to say, "You're probably not going to. It's not like your life isn't stressful.

"I did want a physical change, too, so I thought I would wait and do it for this, so I'm spending a day straight dyeing my hair — 14 hours straight! — to get it done," she revealed to the outlet. "The hair look was simple to highlight the platinum color, giving the hair color and dress the attention," hairstylist Chris Appleton told Vogue on working with the reality star.

I get it," she said of her diverse style in conversation with the magazine's editor-in-chief Mel Ottenberg. While taking over Milan Fashion Week last week, where she debuted her collaboration with Dolce & Gabbana, Kardashian was spotted with multiple '60s-inspired looks, including glamorous pin up waves and a beehive updo with face-framing bangs.
