For Kim Kardashian, going to the DMV for a license renewal isn’t just an unfortunate symptom of the human condition — it’s also a crucial personal photo op.
In season three, episode six of “The Kardashians,” which aired Thursday on Hulu, Kardashian renewed her license at an empty Department of Motor Vehicles office in California. Of course, taking a new photo wasn’t a simple affair, and her glam team followed her into the most mundane of government locations ready to touch up her look and properly illuminate her photo.
“I really just want it to look good. Like, why not bring a light and a glam team?” Kardashian said in a confessional. “It’s definitely crazy, but I don’t care.”
Despite the humor of touching up a celebrity’s hair and makeup for a license photo, Kardashian’s hair and makeup artists Chris Appleton and Ariel Tejada were on board.
“Too many people live with driving licenses that are not cute, so we need to make sure it’s right,” Appleton told the camera. “So no matter where Kim goes, me and Ariel have got her back.”
“This is the most important photo you’ll ever take in your life,” Kardashian said, as Tejada touched up her makeup.
By the time it came to taking the actual photo, Kardashian was still fussing over her appearance, asking if Appleton needed a blow dryer while he adjusted her hair and asking if she needed more powder on her cheek. There was on thing, however, that she didn’t dwell on too long — her name, which recently changed from Kim Kardashian West back to Kim Kardashian during her divorce from Ye, formerly known as Kanye West.
Ultimately, Kardashian and her team went with the second license photo they took.
“First is the worst, second is the best,” Kardashian said while putting on her jacket to leave the DMV. “That’s why I’m the second child.”
