At the 2025 pre-Oscars party, Kim Kardashian honored fashion history by reviving a classic Chanel look from 1995, showcasing her style influence.
Kim Kardashian’s longstanding penchant for drawing inspiration from fashion history was once again on display at the 2025 pre-Oscars party, where she sought to revive a classic aesthetic from the past. This time, Kardashian looked to the Chanel runway from 1995, specifically channeling the iconic thigh-length ponytail adorned with bows that supermodel Claudia Schiffer famously sported.
For this event, Kardashian collaborated with her longtime hair stylist, Chris Appleton. The stylist shared details of the look in a video posted to his Instagram, where he noted, “Bows & Blush ? Tonight’s sleek contour ponytail, with a Chanel 95 bow-inspired look.” In addition to the hairstyle, Appleton highlighted Kim’s refreshed hair color: “Color refresh with @schwarzkopfusa 3.0 for depth and shine,” he added, emphasizing the deeper, glossier brunette shade.
In celebration of the homage, Claudia Schiffer herself took to her Instagram to express admiration for Kardashian’s recreation of the look. She wrote, “Loving #KimKardashian’s hair! @chrisappleton1 brought the @chanelofficial 1995 look back to life at last night’s pre-Oscars Chanel event ??,” alongside a photo of the original catwalk style from 1995.
The 2025 pre-Oscars gathering has drawn attention not only for its glitzy attendees but also for the fashion statements being made. Kardashian’s choice to revisit a historic runway look underscores her influence in the fashion world and her ability to weave modern interpretations into her style narrative.
