The biggest celebrities often stick to the same haircut as it gradually becomes their signature look, but there are always some that like to switch it up a little and shock their fans—in the best way possible. Lately, we’ve been into the short bob and long bob trend this fall as our favourite celebs have been stepping up the classic bob look with their own unique modern flair. We’ve been obsessing over which styles we need to recreate, and these are the celebrity cuts that make it difficult for us to choose just one.
Emma Roberts
September is all about new beginnings, and for Emma that means trying a different hairstyle. Her daring new cut is shorter than most are willing to go but for some reason we can’t get enough. She has been showing it off slicked back and we are so enthralled by her new look. Hair grows back, right? Excuse me while I call my hairstylist…

Lucy Hale
The bob has been a go-to for Lucy for as long as we can remember. She’s always rocking the sought-after hairstyle while still keeping us guessing how she’s going to style it next. Surely some of us are guilty of chopping off our long locks after seeing some of Lucy’s red carpet looks—her haircuts are absolutely gorgeous and it always seems the options are endless when it comes to styling.

Bella Hadid
Everyone wants a bob like Bella’s. The younger Hadid sister is channeling some serious 90’s vibes with her short hairdos lately, and we’re especially loving the blunt long bob straightened and parted down the middle. It’s edgy with just enough chic and might be the look that we’ve been loving most on Bella.

Selena Gomez
We see a lot of choppy, sun-kissed lobs that have been under the hair spotlight but Selena’s blunt bob has us totally starry-eyed. Maybe it’s the fact that its Selena Gomez, but it’s also likely that we fell in love with her cut while she wore it parted down the middle beautifully with her natural hair texture.

Olivia Palermo
This is the long bob that had us swooning all summer long. We are loving Olivia’s playful look recently and secretly hoping she keeps it short—we’re going to need continuous hair inpso from her.

Jessica Chastain
Jessica Chastain is the redhead of our dreams. While her long red locks are her most famous characteristic, she decided to go for a new type of haircut this summer…and we’re not mad at it. Her layered bob is stunning, and it’s everything we wish we could accomplish with our hair. But Jessica’s hair is naturally red and naturally beautiful, so if you’re a redhead contemplating getting a short bob, here’s your inspiration.

Alison Brie
We can’t get enough of this hilarious gal—and now we can’t get enough of her hair, either. The actress’s short tousled cut is the epitome of a modern bob. It looks stunning parted to the side while the subtle waves perfectly frame her face. This super short, brave hairstyle is the classy and fun look that we didn’t know we wanted to try until Alison Brie did it.

Vanessa Hudgens
Of course Vanessa Hudgens is the ultimate hair goals! No matter what the trend is, it’s always a good look for her. It’s only fitting that she enhances her strong jawline and gorgeous cheekbones with the trending long bob, and she keeps it natural with her all-over dark brown hair colour. We love a simple, relatable look.

Victoria Beckham
We have two words to describe the Beckhams: style icons. This year Victoria has been rocking the short hairdo after years of showing off a fierce long ponytail. Her long bob is effortlessly chic with its playful texture and angled chop. She’s always on top of the season’s trends—and that includes her hair. Plus, she can wear it down or in a ponytail and continue to look flawless.

If any of these looks are making you want to cut your hair, just know you’re not alone. While a currently trending haircut may be an irrational desire, sometimes we feel the need for small changes, and new daring hairstyles can make all the difference. Plus, there’s never a bad time to have someone shampoo and massage your scalp—this is the greatest excuse.
