The bob or bob consistently dictates hair trends and remains the most popular haircut in many variations. And there are two main reasons for this.
The first is versatility. That's why the bob has been the most popular hairstyle for the past five years, and especially in 2025. It can be short, medium or long, and has dozens of interpretations: from the Italian and Japanese bob to the butterfly bob and flippy bob with outwardly curled ends and the fob.
The second reason, closely related to the first. And this is the ability of the bob to adapt to any face shape and emphasize its individual features. The bob is an ideal haircut for those who want to go from long hair to medium or shorter length, but not too radically. It is not surprising that many celebrities have chosen it to update their image.
Here are six of the most beautiful bobs to take note of.
Lily Collins: The Iconic Bob
Lily Collins has long been a fan of bobs, but in 2025 she decided to take it even shorter with a jaw-length French bob. We've seen the actress rocking a variety of styles: with soft waves during New York Fashion Week, perfectly straight hair for social events, and ultra-sleek, tucked behind her ears, like at the season five premiere of Emily in Paris.
