The Celebrity Guide To Lobs

It's universally flattering, so it's no wonder the long bob, AKA the lob, is taking over the red carpet. Here are the celebrities giving this hair trend a new twist. - by marie claire

Emilia Clarke

Mother of Dragons Emilia Clarke is best-known for her waist-length tendrils of blonde hair, but the Solo: Star Wars Story actress has chopped the lot off. Celebrity hair stylist Jenny Cho cut her peroxide blonde bob before she appeared on Good Morning America today.

Mila Kunis

Side part? Tick. Soft Waves? Tick. Mila Kunis' effortless bob is giving us all the #hairgoals

Margot Robbie

Can she ever do wrong? This just screams beauty!

Cardi B

Mum-to-be and Hip Hop superstar is looking hot and blonde! (You have to hear her new album!)

Blac Chyna

Similar to Cardi B, seems that the sleek platinum lob is the new favourite!

Mila Kunis

Mila looks like a sophisticated mum- very unlike her 'Bad Moms' role

Jenna Dewan Tatum

New hair, new me Jenna? 

Jada Pinkett Smith

The wild curls are sleeked back on this gorgeous 'do.

Kehlani

This deep red lob is different- but we like it!

Cara Delevingne

Cara is looking rocker chic in this platinum messy bob

Selena Gomez

Selena's highlights and soft waves are making her glow more than usual... we love it!

Katy Perry

Katy's hair is much shorter now but she was once rocking the platinum lob too!

Priyanka Chopra

Priyanka looks sexy and sultry in the teased 'do

Lucy Hale

Lucy shys away from her usual dark lob and looks pretty and fresh in the new lighter colour

Blake Lively

Blake Lively just revealed her shortest haircut yet: a collarbone-grazing lob with blown-out volume and soft waves. On the promo trail for her new movie, All I See Is You, her new hairstyle has critics divided: has she actually cut her hair, or is this just a clever styling trick? The curled up ends make us suspect the latter, but her hairstylist Rod Ortega captioned his Instagram post of her new style with #haircut, so who can know for sure? Here she is pictured with her make-up artist for the night, Patrick Ta, who posted this pic to Instagram.

The new lob

Aussie TV star Ksenija Lukich is the latest star to go for the chop, debuting a gorgeous new lob. "New Year, new me 😜," she wrote on Instagram.

The new lob

Nina Dobrev said farewell to her long lengths for a collarbone-grazing lob, with choppy layers and a deep side part.

The new lob

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's lob has a few face-framing highlights. And lots of body.

The new lob

Victoria Beckham's angled bob features a slightly longer front.

The new lob

This cut, on Jessica Chastain, is perfect for finer hair as the length adds volume and won't weigh down strands.

The new lob

Beachy texture + balayage = red carpet perfection on Anne Hathaway.

Jessica Alba

The new lob elongates the neck, making you look more statuesque. "If you go any shorter, it becomes a bob and you lose the versatility," explains Jessica Alba's hairstylist, Frederic Fekkai.

 

The new lob

If a centre part is not your preference, try January Jones' slightly skewed one. 

Getty

Olivia Munn

Olivia changes her usual middle part for something different and we appreciate the change

Kata Mara

To get Kate Mara's look, "run a one-inch flat iron over small sections, then clamp the iron over the bottom half of each piece, leaving out the tips and twisting the tool up and away to create S-shaped bends," says the star's stylist, Alex Polillo.

 

The new lob

Of course Alexa Chung gets it just right, with those cool bends and colour.  

Getty

Taylor Swift

Update your fringe by sweeping it to across your forehead like Taylor Swift – the asymmetry is flattering on every face shape.

 

Emily Blunt

Try starting your waves around your ears, like Emily Blunt, for natural movement.

 

Chanel Iman

 Inject volume into your roots like Chanel Iman for a sophisticated take on the lob.

 

Diane Kruger

Shiny, sculpted waves are classic, but the tuck-behind-the-ears, as seen on Diane Kruger, makes it modern.
