We're actually Team Kenny on this one for once!
Kendall Jenner has received a lot of criticism in the past for appropriating black culture, and this time fans are outraged that she sported an "afro" for a Vogue piece. The supermodel rocked the frizzy curly 'do while wearing a Brock collection ensemble, and to say some people are offended would be an understatement.
"I swear baby girl enjoys pissing black people off. I can't even wait for her half baked apology on why she wore afro hair for this shoot," one Instagram user wrote. "First she steals black girls' dudes, and now she has to come for their looks?" wrote another.
The mag caught wind of the controversy and quickly issued an apology.
"The image is meant to be an update of the romantic Edwardian/Gibson Girl hair which suits the period feel of the Brock Collection, and also the big hair of the ’60s and the early ’70s, that puffed-out, teased-out look of those eras. We apologize if it came across differently than intended, and we certainly did not mean to offend anyone by it," they said in a statement to People.
Interestingly, Kendall has yet to issue her own statement, but we have a feeling Kris Jenner is busy crafting it now!
