Celebrities' Amazing Look in Bobs After Getting Rid of Their Long Hair

Did a celebrity get a major haircut and then fail to make a dramatic reveal on Instagram? Obviously, yes, but half the fun of a new look is seeing how it is received by family, friends, and, for the super famous, a slew of strangers on the internet. Dramatic short haircut styles are especially effective if someone started with super long hair or is experimenting with a bold, trendy look like a shag or pixie. In any case, celebrities love a good shock factor, and nothing does that better than a dramatic hair transformation. You might recall Miley Cyrus shedding her Disney star image with a bleached blonde rock-and-roll mullet, or Beyoncé breaking the internet with her Anna Wintour-style blunt bob and bangs. In the last year alone, there have been a slew of celebrity hair transformations that have boosted social media impressions and demonstrated that your favorite celebrities can truly pull off anything.

Take a trip down memory lane with us as we revisit some of the most dramatic celebrity short hairstyles in recent memory. If the before and after photos don't make you gasp, they might just inspire you to try something new.

Billie Eilish's Jet Black Layered Bob

What can't the superstar do? Billie Eilish returned to her roots with this jet black hairstyle after transitioning from her Marilyn blonde. Not only that, but after making a strong case for the trendy octopus hair shag, Eilish signaled to everyone that the Bob has arrived.

Kim Kardashian’s Blunt Bob

Everything Kim Kardashian does garners international attention, and her recent big hair chop is no exception. The Skims owner stunned the public, especially after doing a Rapunzel-inspired photoshoot, when she and her hair stylist, Chris Appleton, debuted her blunt Bob — one of the year's most popular haircuts. Her new angular trim is chic and similar to her older sister's rock-inspired cut, while keeping the same bleached color.

Zendaya’s Bob Haircut

As her Bob haircut transformation demonstrates, there is no answer to the question, "What can't Zendaya pull off?" In the past, the Euphoria star favored long, dramatic hairstyles, but at the end of last year, she switched from long layers to a reddish-brown lob.

Laura Harrier’s Bob Haircut

Laura Harrier, a model and Spider-Man actor, got a Bob in December 2021 and apparently liked it so much that she went even shorter a few months later. Her new wavy bob sparked a lot of buzz on Instagram and is sure to inspire a lot of hairstyles.

Selena Gomez’s Bob With Bangs Haircut

Selena Gomez, ever the beauty chameleon, stunned social media with her voluminous wavy bob with bangs earlier this year. Her beachy waves make a strong case for either rushing to the salon or letting your hair blow in the wind.

Emma Chamberlain’s Platinum Blonde Bob

Emma Chamberlain, who was previously known for her mousy brown locks, arrived at the 2022 Met Gala with a fresh chop and a chic color change that took place just before the red carpet. For her ultra-cool day-to-day looks, she now sports a bleached chin-length bob that she styles straight and wavy. As Chamberlain cements her place as a fashion industry darling, this short haircut demonstrates how fashionable the social media cool girl truly is.

Kourtney Kardashian’s Bob Haircut

Kourtney Kardashian stunned her millions of fans by revealing her new bob haircut. The eldest Kardashian was previously known for her long strands, but she's stuck with short hair since making the chop. Some speculate that her new look is related to her whirlwind romance with Blink-182's Travis Barker, but the star is clearly pleased with her new look.

Beyoncé’s Blunt Bob With Bangs

Beyoncé used an Ivy Park campaign to reveal her most dramatic haircut in years. The actress wore a blunt bob with bangs in her brand's Valentine's Day campaign, prompting fans to compare the look to Anna Wintour's iconic style. She appears to have returned to her signature long waves, so either the look was a wig or she's now wearing extensions, but there's no denying she looked fierce in a bob.

Florence Pugh’s Brunette Mullet

Florence Pugh's transformation from her signature blonde hair to brunette was shocking enough, but the actor went even further shortly after. Pugh debuted a mullet on Instagram in November 2021, proclaiming, "I did a thing," and just about a month later, she dyed her freshly chopped hair a bold platinum blonde.

Jessica Alba’s Neck Length Bob Haircut

Jessica Alba was the poster child for beachy waves for many years. However, in November 2021, she decided to change up her signature look, revealing a jaw-skimming bob in a rich chocolate brown shade. The Honest Beauty founder has experimented with both middle and side parts and appears to prefer the shorter look.
