Celebrities boosted its resurgence, thanks to chic cuts revealed on red carpets in the year prior.

The way we wear our hair is the way we frame our face, setting the tone for how we come into the world. No wonder hair trends are some of the most exciting ones to toy with at the top of every year. 2025 hair trends are slowly revealing themselves, but one semi-controversial cut has been building steady momentum.
The bob has been a look for decades. This bold haircut has been around since the mid 1910s and became a symbol of feminine agency, boosted by flapper culture in the 1920s. From Anna Wintour's classic and perfectly trimmed bob to celebrities in films or on the red caret, the style is timeless. What makes it trendy and newly irresistible are its iterations. Celebrities like Zendaya, Hailey Bieber, Nara Smith, and Jenna Ortega made the hairstyle their own with flair and dimension in 2024, helping build momentum and make the style a reining hair trend set to take over 2025.

This hairstyle can be fun, playful, and adventurous thanks to its various lengths and layers. What makes it controversial is that many fear it won't look right on them. If you want to try a version of this classic look in 2025, sort through inspiration photos to find fits your facial structure and overall look. Keep scrolling for more great celebrity bob moments, just in time to try the 2025 hair trend.
