Best friends share everything. For famous BFFs Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid, that includes their hair color. In March 2016, the then-20-year-old models decided to swap their signature hairstyles at the Balmain Fall 2016 fashion show during Paris Fashion Week.
Raven-haired Kendall rocked blonde with dark roots, while angelic Gigi got in touch with her darker brunette side.

The two were almost unrecognizable. We have to say, though, that Kendall looks better as a blonde than Gigi does as a brunette.
Maybe it’s because Kendall’s team did a better job with her hair — Gigi’s is very obviously a wig — or maybe it’s because Kim Kardashian going blonde has already conditioned us to the famously black-haired sisters with lighter hair.
Kendall and Gigi loved each other’s hair hues so much they decided to wear them all day. They went to the Balmain after-party in pieces straight off the runway while still wearing the wigs.
