Kylie Jenner's Stylist Swap Sparks Sibling Rivalry with Kim Kardashian

In October 2025, Kylie Jenner, the 28-year-old founder of Kylie Cosmetics, opened up about a past incident that caused tension between her and her older sister Kim Kardashian, 45. Jenner revealed that for her 21st birthday celebration, she had enlisted the services of Kim's longtime hairstylist, Chris Appleton, to create her look. However, this did not sit well with the SKIMS founder.

"My 21st birthday. I think it's one of the first few times that [Kim's stylist] Chris Appleton did my hair, and Kim was not happy about that," Jenner said with a laugh. She did not elaborate further on the reasons behind Kim's displeasure, but she did share details about the "amazing look" Appleton had created for her, which included a sleek blonde ponytail.

Jenner, known for her ever-changing hairstyles and fashion choices, has long been inspired by her older sister's style. However, it seems that on this particular occasion, her decision to borrow Kim's go-to stylist crossed a line, leading to a sibling rivalry over their shared fashion and beauty interests.

Despite the tension, Jenner continued to experiment with her look, embracing her "King Kylie" era in the 2010s, which saw her frequently changing her hair color and style. Most recently, she was spotted sporting teal tips, reminiscent of one of her most popular "King Kylie" looks from 2014, in honor of Kylie Cosmetics' 10-year anniversary.

As for Kim Kardashian, she has remained loyal to Appleton, who has been her trusted hairstylist for over a decade. In February 2025, Appleton shared details about Kim's latest hairstyle, a flipped-up bob, which she had showcased at a high-profile event.
