The bob cut, a true fashion icon since its creation at the beginning of the 20th century, continues to be the style choice of celebrities around the world. With several versions over the years, from classic models to the most modern and daring, the bob is always on the rise. If you’re looking for inspiration to give your hair a new look, check out the most stylish and popular versions adopted by celebrities.
The rebirth of the bob: from liberation to modernity
Created by Polish hairdresser Antoine de Paris in 1909, the bob cut was initially a symbol of freedom and modernity. Celebrities of all ages, from Debbie Harry to Victoria Beckham, have adopted this style and reinvented it over the years. In the ’70s, the bob merged with the punk aesthetic, transforming into a messier and more textured version. The ’80s brought the permed curl variation, while longer versions, like the “lob” (long bob), have gained popularity in recent years.
Celebrities and their versions of the bob
Among the celebrities who have recently adopted the bob cut, we have examples of iconic styles. Zendaya, known for her style transformations, tried out the bob with soft bangs, while Kylie Minogue sported a sleek, voluminous bob, perfect for her personality.
Kendall Jenner also opted for a micro bob, with a straight and retro look, reminiscent of the 90s. Another highlight was Beyoncé’s look, who left her long hair aside to adopt the Italian bob, a voluminous cut and full of personality.
