Here are five of our best looks to get you inspired to make the change:
1) EMMA WATSON
We’ve seen British actress and UN ambassador Emma Watson grow up in front of our eyes. She’s donned several hairstyles in the last few years from long tresses, a pixie cut and now a versatile bob. Here on Instagram, she’s created a side parting and soft waves to create texture and body. We love it!
2) JENNIFER LAWRENCE
The blonde beauty has just finished her world tour of the Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2. During the tour she donned her glamorous lob. Recently, she attended the world premiere of her latest film Joy, in New York, the comedy drama follows the life of inventor and entrepreneur Joy Mangano. The stunning actress wore a backless white dress and she swept her long bob to the side. She created soft, very loose, relaxed waves to form a modern, elegant and mildly messy style that looked great with standout earrings.
3) MARION COTILLARD
French actress Marion Cotillard highlights her rich chocolate brown hair in a short style that has been cut and styled to create a fantastic shape. Her sweeping fringe skims her forehead and frames her face beautifully. The choppy style is simple and elegant. A few loose strands and the way the hair has been causally tucked behind her ear at one side creates an every day, casual look that is so pretty.
4) Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
The Burberry muse and Brit actress ditched her long tresses for a long bob and blonde highlights. The gorgeous model shows that this contemporary style is perfect for simple, casual attire and her sexy loose hairstyle brushes just above her shoulders. It can be worn with a side or middle parting. Totally stunning!
5) Kristen Stewart
The Chanel muse of Karl Lagerfeld showed off a cool, sleek and masculine-inspired, straight bob. The chic quiff makes the style look retro and futuristic. Tucked behind the ears, it creates a sharp style that’s strong and contemporary.
