They call it a “breakover” and SKKN Maven Kim Kardashian42, rocked her in the days following her settled and finalized divorce from KanyeWest, 45! In new pictures, the mother-of-four stepped out for dinner at Gekkō during Art Basel Miami on Thursday, December 1st, rocking a daring cropped look and noticeably darker locks! In the picture BELOW Kims previously platinum look was replaced with a deeper, richer honey blonde tone, with thicker layers of light brown hair underneath. She brushed her long hair into a sleek style and accessorised it with an excellent pink manicure and glam to match. She also ditched Balenciaga from her wardrobe following her marketing scandal, slaying her in a strapless latex Vex bikini top, baggy biker-themed bottoms and a wild pair of thigh-high leather boots.

The reality icon’s previous look, [BELOW]directly inspired by Marilyn Monroe for her appearance at this year’s Met Gala was a shocking platinum blonde bombshell. She stunned the California blonde for over seven months, often styling it in long mermaid waves for casual outings or glamorous updos for formal events. And according to a source close to the singer, the initially almost white coloring was so damaging to her hair that she had trouble even curling it for the event. “Kim was very focused on getting the exact Marilyn Monroe look for the Met Gala,” a source said HollywoodLife ONLY again in May. “She didn’t want to wear a wig because she wanted the look to be as authentic as possible. So she spent several weeks going back and forth with her barbers to start platinum dying.”

But apparently things didn’t quite go as planned, the insider explained. “Kim originally intended to wear the big curls just like Marilyn did in her famous performance, but since they’ve become so light with her hair in such a short amount of time, it caused a lot of damage,” a source continued. “There was a lot of staining in her hair and the color wasn’t even at all. Kim’s hair started breaking off really badly, so wearing it in big curls wasn’t even an option. All they could do at that point was brush it all the way to the back and hope no one could see how bad it had gotten.”

Still, Kim made the most of the look and continued to rock the super blonde look throughout the summer and fall. And now that big changes are behind her, it seems like the perfect time for Kim’s honey-toned “breakthrough.”
