Kim Kardashian has been hinting about possibly lightening her signature dark locks to go blonde for quite some time on social media; however, we didn't expect to see the reality star as a blonde so soon!

The 32-year-old mother debut her new look at a friend's barbecue in Beverly Hills over the weekend.  She also brought along her newborn baby North West for the outing. [See photo.] Kourtney Kardashian and her two children, Mason and Penelope, also attended the party, reports E! News.

Kim K. has been hinting at missing her sun-kissed look on Instagram by posting throwback pics and writing captions like, "missing my blonde."

She also revealed that the her hair was lightened up by Joico's George Papanikolas from Andy Lecompte Salon, who told E! News, "She was so pleased and absolutely loved it!"

This isn't the first time that the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star ditched being a brunette for a lighter shade.  In 2012, she changed up her look and showcased her new 'do on her Instagram account.

Kardashian, who has remained out of the limelight since giving birth to her daughter on June 15, was also spotted with her baby North West last month.

The new mom was photographed with her boyfriend Kanye West, their nanny and the famous Kimye baby outside a medical facility in Los Angeles, California, on Wednesday, reports TMZ. [See photo.]

The good news is that the couple looked happy and healthy during the outing--even Kanye, who has become infamous for physically and verbally attacking paparazzi as of late.

However, the bad news is that little Nori was completely covered by a blanket.  Kim was also covered up, hiding her post-pregnancy physique with a long-sleeved, baggy shirt and a sweater tied around her waist.
