They're an iconic duo
If you spotted the iconic hairstylist Chris Appleton making an appearance on Selling Sunset season nine and thought “Wait, is that his kid with him?”, you’re not imagining things.
He did, in fact, bring along his daughter, the effortlessly cool Kitty‑Blu Appleton.
While Chris is known for styling megastars (we’re looking at you, Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez), Kitty-Blu is carving her own track. Here’s the low-down on their dynamic, with some surprise parent-stuff thrown in for good measure…

Born on November 3, 2004, Kitty-Blu Appleton is currently 21 years old.
She grew up in England but moved to Los Angeles at age 17 to live with her dad and pursue a career in beauty.
In a 2022 interview with Allure, Kitty-Blu revealed that she grew up surrounded by her dad’s celebrity hair world and knew early on that she wanted to do something creative for herself.
“Makeup was my hobby and passion. It was my escape from school,” she explained.
After moving to LA, she enrolled at Make-Up Designory in Burbank to study cosmetology and has since worked in beauty and creative projects. She even teamed up with her dad on a makeover for her grandmother, showing just how strong the family’s creative streak runs.
In 2025, she turned heads at the US Open, rocking a sleek high ponytail, minimal jewellery, and a white halter-top dress, proving she’s inherited her dad’s eye for polish.
Despite growing up with one of Hollywood’s most in-demand hairstylists, Kitty-Blu is determined to make a name for herself.
She’s previously said she doesn’t just want to be known as Chris Appleton’s daughter, and is building her own identity in the beauty world. With her striking looks, confident presence, and early start in the industry, she’s already making that happen!
Who’s Kitty-blu’s mom?

Chris shares Kitty-Blu and her older brother Billy, who was born in 2002, with his former partner Katie Katon, reports People.
The pair were together for nearly nine years but never formally married. Chris and Katie met in Leicester, England while both working in hair salons, and later Katie transitioned into psychotherapy and trauma work.
Chris has been open about his personal journey, revealing that he came out as gay at age 26 on the Jay Shetty podcast.
In interviews, he’s described telling his family and children as one of the hardest and most liberating experiences of his life.
Who could forget that in 2023, Chris married actor Lukas Gage. Hello? Kim Kardashian officiated the nuptials in Las Vegas.
But the marriage ended after just six months, with a divorce filing that November citing irreconcilable differences, per The Sun.
Despite the ups and downs in his romantic life, Chris has remained deeply connected to his kids.
He often shares heartfelt posts about them on social media, celebrating their milestones and expressing his pride.
So when Chris popped up on Selling Sunset with Kitty-Blu, viewers weren’t just seeing a fun cameo, they were witnessing a father-daughter team who share an undeniable bond, both stylish and self-assured in their own right.
Kitty-Blu may be following in her dad’s creative footsteps, but she’s doing it entirely on her own terms, and Chris couldn’t be prouder.
