However, with my Instagram feed starting to fill up with dramatic, post-lockdown haircuts, I have to admit that I’m seriously tempted to forgo my lengths in favour of something shorter, choppier and infinitely cooler. And a quick look online confirmed that the bob might just be the hairstyle of 2021. From Fearne Cotton to Lily James, so many celebrities have undergone major short hair transformations over the last year, and their styles look seriously amazing.

Keep scrolling for 38 celebrities and fashion girls that are stepping out in the best bob hairstyles right now. Trust me—these are the looks to copy if you’re considering going for the chop.

Fearne Cotton

I think that Fearne’s new, short hair looks amazing. Use a texture spray through the ends to give your cut a similarly choppy feel.

The queen of the bob, Anna Wintour’s classic chin-length hairstyle is totally timeless. Pair it with a blunt, full fringe for extra power points.

My hair is naturally wavy, so I’ve never been sure if I could pull off a super-short bob. Angee, however, is proving that curly girls look amazing with super-short hair too.

 

Rachel Stevens

It’s not just Rachel Stevens style that we’ve unexpectedly found ourselves wanting to copy, it’s her hair too. Stevens opts for tonged curls to style her long bob for a polished finish.

 

Sade

Headband + natural curls = the cutest combination as worn by Sade.

 

Sophia Rosemary

Sophia follows the French-girl formula for the most stylish hair. A centre-parting that separates her fringe into two sections.

 

Dua Lipa

If I could achieve even a fraction of the shine coming off Dua Lip’s black bob, then I’d be one happy beauty editor.

María’s micro bob isn’t for the fainthearted, but it looks so damn amazing with her feathered fringe.

Take a low-maintenance approach to bobs by leaving yours to air-dry like Tanya Burr’s blonde one.

Freddie’s paprika-hued bob (it’s going to be one of this season’s hottest hair colours, FYI) is perfect for autumn.

 

Simone

You don’t have to wrestle with the hair tools to step out with a bob. Leave it to dry naturally like Simone so that your natural hair texture can add personality to your short style.

 

Kerry Washington

Hair clips + side parting = the most elegant bob I ever did see. Thanks for the inspo, Kerry.

Before Bella went over to the blonde side, the supermodel could be spotted with this retro-inspired bob as her hairstyle of choice.

 

JOURDAN DUNN

I’m totally obsessed with Jourdan’s chin-length, wavy ‘do. She might even have persuaded me to wave goodbye to my trademark bangs.

 

Carey Mulligan

Carey is serving up a triple-dose of hair inspiration here with her perfect length bob, that choppy fringe and her beachy waves.

It’s not just the fashion that it’s worth looking to the ‘60s for, it’s the beauty too. Laura Harrier’s beehive-inspired bob is created by adding plenty of volume at the back of the style and keeping things sleek at the front.

 

ASOS Lotte

If I was going to take the plunge for any bob, then it would most likely be a low-maintenance wavy style like Alyssa’s.
