Spring is here—and the season of renewal has you craving something new, then perhaps it’s time to book an appointment with your hairdresser. For the third year in a row, celebrities are flocking to shorter and shorter styles, which include the ever-evolving bob (see Penélope Cruz, Selena Gomez, and Gracie Abrams). Below are five fresh new ways to wear the timeless cut.
The Micro Bob
Zoë Kravitz on the red carpet at last year’s Academy Museum Gala is a great example of this bob, defined by a feminine flick at the end and a gappy micro-fringe.
The Modern Bob
Ideal for the growing-out phase, the lived-in bob plays with lengths and textures. Style with a slight bend, like Emma Stone at the 2026 Golden Globes, for a look that’s both undone and polished.
The Retro Bob
Ayo Edebiri took cues from the iconic styles of the ’50s, ’60s, and ’70s with this flippy bob, which more than delivers on nostalgic glamour. Perfect for the red carpet–or just a special occasion.
The Tucked Bob
Somewhere between a bixie and a bob, this variation on the bob is slightly longer, tucked behind the ears with a subtle curve at the ends. “Hamnet” star Jessie Buckley wears it here at the 2026 SAG Actor Awards.
The Cornrow Bob
A brilliant option for afro-textured hair, the cornrow bob can be loose and floaty or intricate and detailed. Tyla wore hers with eyebrow-grazing kiss curls for the Valentino spring 2026 couture show. The ends were left undone and flicked out for a retro effect.
