Kristi Noem's Glammed Up Military Barbie Video Has People Roasting Her Awful Extensions

Kristi Noem took a top from Kimberly Guilfoyle's book of awful extension choices for a bizarre G.I. Joe cosplay, and it makes us wish she would finally go back to blonde. The secretary of Homeland Security posted a video to X, formerly Twitter, surrounded by men in full tactical gear, spewing some nonsense about cleaning up the streets, writing, "We will not be deterred by leaks. If you come to this country and break our laws, we will hunt you down." She continued, "Successful enforcement operation this morning—getting MS-13 members, 18th Street gang members and perpetrators of sexual crimes off our streets."

The content of the video aside, it's difficult to even focus on what Noem is saying because she looks so out of place. Donning an "ICE" vest over a sweatshirt and jeans, she decided to bring in her glam team and clip in 16 more inches for some reason — literally, it's so thickly splayed over the vest that you can't even read it). Maybe she was afraid people would think she was balding if she were having another bad hair day under that beanie. The mere image reflects a Barbie standing amongst those little green army men. Probably as much plastic, too.

Viewers took to X with their reactions, and they did not disappoint. One user expressed, "This chick is out there photo op-ing like it's some sort of action movie. Full make up, prom hair... oof," while another joked, "Corral that hair, please."

Like Kimberly Guilfoyle, Melania Trump, and many other members of Trump's inner circle, Kristi Noem also can't take a hint when it comes to dressing appropriately for certain events, but it's safe to assume she won't be straying from her Barbie dress-up phase anytime soon. For someone who notoriously accessorizes like she's doing cowboy cosplay in her Instagram profile, we're just surprised she hasn't opted for the infamous "Barbie" cowboy costume.

Noem attended the Governor's Ball in February 2025 and posted a carousel of photos to Instagram to capture the moment. The White House attendees were in their usual attire: men in Tuxedos, women in muted, often darker colors. Then there's Noem, head-to-toe in wrinkled Fuchsia (two different shades, no less), sticking out like a sore thumb. Hate to break it to her, but not all attention is good attention.
