With all this talk about edgy blunt bobs (Kim Kardashian, Bella Hadid and Sophie Turner have all embraced the sharp chop), we feared the long bob might be over. But leave it to cool-girl Emily Ratajkowski and her dramatic new bouncy lob to bring the style back.
The model stepped hit the red carpet at the Tony Awards with her transformative new cut and stole the show. Trading in her signature long mane for an above-the-shoulder bob. With its voluminous blow-dry, her new look had a slightly retro feel.
When it comes to defining the most popular haircut of the moment, it’s hard to go past the classic bob. The bob or lob – that’s a long bob for the uninitiated – is a versatile style that’s cut to a workable length which can be pulled into a messy bun or worn loose. Undoubtedly universally flattering; this hair trend suits most hair types and faces. Complementary and approachable – the lob is the Miss Congeniality of the hair world.
