10 Celebrities Rocking the Long Bob

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Fairfield chapter.

Celebrities and everyday fashionistas are currently obsessing over the long bob, which has now been dubbed the “lob.” This haircut is not only trendy, but it’s sophisticated, chic, and classic. Read on to see our top 10 favorite “lobs!”

1. Taylor Swift: T. Swift is a spirit animal on so many different levels, but her haircut is definitely something to obsess over. The length is absolutely perfect—her hair is longer than the traditional bob, and her side bangs add the perfect finish to the look. 

2. Kristen Bell: Kristen has been sporting the “lob” for several years now. Bell makes this hairstyle look effortless and easy. Her side-swept bangs are a great way to add flair to any haircut no matter what the length.

3. Emma Roberts: Emma looks anything but “unfabulous” with shorter hair. Her new cut gives her mature and gorgeous look.

4. Reese Witherspoon: Like Kristen Bell, Witherspoon is another celebrity who has sported the “lob” for quite some time now, and the timeless hairstyle has always worked for her both on and off the red carpet.

5. Nikki Reed: The newly engaged Nikki’s hair puts a different spin on the pin-straight lob. Her hair has a gorgeous beachy wave to it, which makes it effortless, but of course stylish. 

6. Nicole Richie: Nicole definitely takes risks with her hair. Over the years Richie has experimented a lot with bold colors and styling , but her current bob is mature and flatters her face. While we loved her recent purple color, we think this look makes her look youthful and professional.

7. Heidi Klum: Klum has sported the “lob” for much of her career and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

8. Cameron Diaz: Cameron Diaz’s “lob” highlights her amazing cheekbones. Her face-framing tresses also lend a sophisticated edge to her shorter hairstyle.

 9. Elizabeth Banks: Banks looks absolutely beautiful with this short and youthful haircut which highlights her gorgeous features.

10. Olivia Wilde:. Last but certainly not least, new mom Olivia’s bob is classy yet sassy with her addition of shaggy bangs. This spiced-up yet simple do will lend itself to easiness especially while the actress is caring for her nine month old son Otis. 

 

I dream of eating waffles with Amy Poehler and climbing to the top of Corporate America specifically in the fashion industry. Amy P hasn't responded to my emails, so in the meantime, I'm your typical college student who is majoring in Accounting. I'm a self-proclaimed Diet Coke and Twitter addict and I will never go a day without them. I hate the gym so don't look for me there.
