Welcome back, King Kylie!

Kylie Jenner is reviving her iconic “King Kylie” era—which dutiful fans know was a period in the mid-2010s when she boldly experimented with daring hair colors. The 27-year-old reality star has recently swapped her signature brunette locks for a vibrant teal mane, sparking major 2015 nostalgia among her fans.

Jenner debuted her new hue at Sushi Park, a celeb-loved spot in Los Angeles, where the paparazzi showed up in droves to photograph her bright new hair color. While the initial photos were more distant than fans (like ourselves) would have liked, Jenner soon took matters into her own hands.

Fortunately, the Kylie Cosmetics founder also shared a closer look on Instagram, showing her nearly 400 million followers her vivid blue hair and leaning into the 2010s aesthetic. She also brought back another signature look from that era—overlined lips, a nod to the days when her brand’s Lip Kits were at their peak popularity. “Teal the end of time,” she wittily captioned the photo.

Naturally, the comments section lit up with praise from fans celebrating the return of “King Kylie.” One follower summed it up perfectly: “The perfect shade of teal, WE ARE SO BACK.” Another echoed the excitement, writing, “Kylie, we’re living for this.” With thousands more comments like these, it’s clear the love for Jenner’s edgy era is next-level intense.

While Jenner’s blue hair alone could have easily satisfied fans’ “King Kylie” nostalgia, she didn’t stop there—she and her manicurist gave us even more to love. Zola Ganzorigt, Jenner’s go-to nail artist, took to Instagram to share her latest creation: a deep, almost-black purple glossy manicure in a subtly curved coffin shape to complement the teal hair. She captioned the photo: “Teal hair dark nail @kyliejenner.”

Ganzorigt even shared the exact nail polish shade she used: OPI’s Lincoln Park After Dark, a moody hue that’s practically synonymous with autumn.
