Martha Stewart took a page out of Kylie Jenner's stylebook as she debuted a pink hair transformation over the weekend.

The 85-year-old homemaker traded her frosty blonde locks for a rosy, blush hue, which the 29-year-old makeup mogul – who just celebrated her birthday – famously sported in her 2016 'King Kylie' era.

Jenner's 'King Kylie' chapter refers to her late teenage and early 20s years, during which she was known for her flamboyant style and colorful wigs. 

'Welcome to the rose gold era,' Kim Kardashian's beloved hairstylist Chris Appleton, 43, captioned an Instagram video with Stewart on Sunday.

He followed it up with a second post featuring two photos of the new shade, quoting Stewart's 90s tagline as he captioned: 'Rose gold... It’s a good thing.'

Fans flocked to the comments to praise the octogenarian's youthful glow, with one person asking, 'How is she aging backwards!?'

Someone else declared, 'It makes her look about 30 years younger, I love how it looks on her.'

Others suggested the color be rebranded as 'Martha’s pink' or 'Martha’s rose garden gold.'

Selling Sunset blonde bombshell Chrishell Stause dubbed the new tint 'Pink Chíc.'

Stewart's unexpected new 'do was styled in a side part and soft, tousled waves that grazed her collarbone.

For added oomph, a glamorous face of dewy mauve makeup was applied by Nicole Daisy Toye.

In addition to Jenner, Kardashian and Stewart, Appleton's long roster of celebrity clients includes Ariana Grande, Christina Aguilera, Katy Perry, and more.

Appleton and Stewart have joined forces in the past, and in July the hair expert shared a 'Martha Stewart appreciation post' with his four million Instagram followers.

He shared a quote from the iconic media personality, in which she lauded his talent for styling: 'You know how to make every single woman you touch look like a movie star.'

In a recent in-depth interview with People, Stewart dished about the lifestyle that keeps her looking young.

She confessed, 'I have good genes. My mom looked great at 95. We eat well. We don’t drink very much. We don’t smoke. We eat healthy food. We exercise daily.'

A recent dinner party thrown by the host included garden pea soup, sautéed scallops over potato puree, and corn.

The cookbook author also admitted to getting 'a little bit of fillers' a few times a year, but denied ever going under the knife.

'I have not had any plastic surgery at all. I don’t think I need it. I do facial exercises and have the best facials from Mario Badescu and Georgia Louise. Peptides are very good. I take a few peptides,' she noted.

The entrepreneur concluded, 'So that’s what I do. I’m more a maintenance kind of person. I’m not getting boobs done and hips and butts and stuff like that.'
