Name a more classic hairstyle than a bob—we'll wait. There's a reason we've seen variations of this haircut since the 1920s, a time when women were trying to break free from traditional gender roles with shorter hair. To this day, we've seen tons of celebrities trade in their long mermaid hair for a bob haircut, giving us major FOMO.

In the summer of 2019, Kaia Gerber chopped her long strands into a bob haircut and called it a "drama cut," and we haven't stopped thinking about it since. Stars like Jordyn Woods and Ciara have also been seen sporting modern-looking asymmetrical bobs, while Emily Ratajkowski paid tribute to old Hollywood glam with hers. At one point, Kristen Bell got even shorter with her razor-sharp cut, and Selena Gomez rocked a never-before-seen retro look at the 2019 AMAs. 

We've seen celebrity bob transformations come in all different forms. And yes, okay, some have been wigs, but they look incredible, so how could we leave them out?

The bottom line: a bob can look stunning on all different hair types, textures, and colors.

"From clean-cut straight across and graduated bobs to disconnected and connected lines, bobs are super playful because there are so many different styles to choose from," says celebrity stylist Edward Tricomi. 

He adds that he expects to see more creative takes on the bob in the future so, get in on the trend now and check out our favorite celebrity bob haircuts. Afterwards, send them over to your own stylist ASAP.

Chrissy Teigen

Recently, Teigen traded in her long hair for a shoulder-length bob. In an Instagram post showing her haircut, she wrote, "I just. Wanna. Look. Cool!!!!" and we think it's fair to say she accomplished her goal.

Kim Kardashian West

The star might change her hair faster than the weather changes in New York City (IYKYK), but one look we'll never get over is her blunt black bob. The short length is also great because it frames her face, capturing all of her beauty.

Lana Condor

Condor might be known for her long, dark hair, but there was a time when she rocked a fierce black bob that was slightly longer than her chin. She frequently styled it with beachy waves, which was *chef's kiss.*
