Bob Hairstyles Are Back!

2018 is the time to be brave and embrace a super-short hairstyle. Yup, bobbed haircuts are officially here to stay (yayyy), and the chin-skimming styles are a winner regardless of your hair type.

Whether you have thick hair or fine, we've rounded up all the celebrity inspiration you'll need to find that beaut new bob?

Hailey Bieber neé Baldwin

Hailey is the definition of the ultimate cool girl, so when she took to Instagram Stories to showcase her new jaw-skimming bob, you know we had to book a hairdressers appointment immediately.

Her new choppy 'do, which has some shorter face framing layers, is the ultimate lazy girl hair and suits her laid back look perfectly.

Lana Condor

If you haven't watched To All The Boys I've Loved Before on Netflix yet, stop what you're doing immediately and make a date with your sofa.

Not only will it warm your cold, black heart, but it will also show you that actress Lana looks completely different with her long swishy hair.

Taking to Instagram she shared the reason for her chop - a new TV program - and admitted her new 'do was saving her all the money on shampoo and conditioner.

Kim Kardashian

Kim switches up her hair more often than we switch up our Tinder profile, but she's been sticking with her bum skimming hair for a while now. However, this blunt, chic bob just might be our favorite look on her yet.

Rihanna

While we should be looking at Rihanna's bra - she was showcasing some of her new Savage x Fenty lingerie line - all we could stare at was her brand new bob.

We know Bad Gal Riri loves to switch up her hairstyle with her mood, but this collarbone-skimming bob has us itching for the chop.

Emma Roberts

Celebrity hairstylist Chris McMillan took to Instagram to share a picture of Emma's latest 'do and it might just be the shortest, chicest bob we've seen.

Captioning it "The New Short", we predict we're going to see this hairline bob everywhere.

Emilia Clarke

Emilia took to Instagram to reveal that she was forced to go for the chop after bleaching her hair for the final series of Game of Thrones:

"In other news, this FABULOUS new bob is the chicest way to style out some burnt out mother of dragons split ends".

Whilst hair damage is never cool, Emilia's resulting haircut has us wanting to book a salon appointment immediately.

Ashley Graham

Showing her dedication to the 2018 Met Gala, Ashley Graham took to her Instagram stories to reveal that she had gone for the chop specifically for the event.

But it paid off because we love her Kim K inspired sleek bob.

Dua Lipa

In a move that has us phoning round our local hairdressers to see when we can get the earliest appointment, Dua Lipa has cut her hair into the chicest choppy bob.

Taking to Instagram Stories Dua revealed that she was cutting her hair because it was "f*cking damaged" and we love the final result.

Leighton Meester

Leighton went for the double whammy with her new cut and color.

Her hairstylist DJ Quintero shared a pic of her new peroxide do with the caption "@itsmeleighton having a blonde moment."

Lauren Conrad

Proving that once you go shorter you never go back, LC has just gone for her shortest hairstyle yet.

Taking to Instagram to share her jaw skimming bob, Lauren captioned it "Leaving NYC with a little less hair than I arrived with."

Kate Middleton

If you're thinking of going for the chop but want to test the water first, try Kate Middleton's hair pinning trick. It's the easiest way to see if a shorter style will suit you.

Bella Thorne

Whilst Bella is no stranger to hair color transformations, we can't think of a time when we have seen her without her signature nipple-length hair.

Taking to Instagram, Bella shared a snap of her chop with the caption "BT dubs cut off all my hair". Looking good girl.

Emily Ratajkowski

Admittedly Emily Ratajkowski is the most beautiful woman to ever walk this planet and could, therefore, pull off any hairstyle, but her sleek, shiny bob might just be the push we need to finally go for that chop.

Emma Stone

Emma Stone debuted her shortest hair 'do to date, whilst on the set of TV show Maniac in NYC. Whilst we're used to Emma changing up her color, we haven't seen her switch up her signature lob in a while.

We're glad she did though because this has given us all the haircut inspo we need.

Olivia Palermo

If the idea of going straight for a bob is too daunting, take a leaf out of Olivia Palermo's book and transition from lob to bob.

Olivia has been rocking her ombre lob for a while and finally took the plunge going for this chic blunt chop.

Emma Roberts

Normally when Mercury is in retrograde it causes problems with communication, not for Emma Roberts. Who clearly communicated to her hairdresser that she was ready to go for the chop.

Her hairstylist shared Emma's new look on Instagram, captioning the picture "Mercury made us do it..." and we have to say we are loving the switch up from Emma's usual mid-length auburn locks.

Bella Hadid

If you're scared of going for the chop, take a leaf out of supermodel Bella's book and do it gradually. After lobbing her hair to her shoulders, Bella has now debuted her shortest look yet with this choppy, textured box.

Alicia Vikander

Oscar-winning actress, Alicia, looks effortlessly chic with her chin-skimming bob. Styled in a center parting with tumbling curls, she's every inch the Hollywood star.

Ashley Benson

A subtle wave gives Ashley's blunt bob a dose of movement and texture. If you have fine hair and want to cheat extra thickness, waves are the way to go.

Carey Mulligan

Carey opted to give her short locks a straight, sleek finish, the result? A dreamy polished bob.

Gabrielle Union

Gabrielle's face-framing waves are perfect if you want to enhance your features. Use a curling wand to add an 'S' bend to the hair.

Gigi Hadid

Gigi fooled everyone into thinking she's gone for the chop with her faux bob at the American Music Awards. Her tresses were pushed back and tucked behind the ears to give the illusion of a shorter crop.

Jennifer Lawrence

J-Law's mermaid waves give a soft, touchable texture to her short strands. A few layers around her face and neck add extra thickness.

Jourdan Dunn

The blunt cut of Jourdan's bob makes it cool-girl without even trying. A single, subtle wave through the front adds a little softness that perfectly balances the defined cut.

Kate Hudson

Kate's textured curls and waves give her bob a beautiful boho feel.

Kerry Washington

We're all about a blunt, polished bob, and Kerry Washington does it better than anyone. Styled in a super-straight, her polished crop gets a 10/10 from us.

Lucy Hale

Lily Collins

Lily's strands are curled under into a bouncy, polished finish. By tucking the style behind her ears it's kept cool, rather than cutesy.

Miranda Kerr

Beachy waves are a winner regardless of your hair length. Styled with a far side parting Miranda's tresses look thick and full.

Emma Stone

This shapely bob is one of the best we've seen. The parted fringe frames Emma's face and the choppy ends make it super-modern. We'll be taking this one to the hairdressers.

Selena Gomez

Selena's faux bob is giving us all the hair goals. If you aren't ready to commit to a full chop, tuck your ends under and pin in place.

Alexa Chung

We're 'bob'sessed with Alexa's wavy crop. Her super-short cut looks cool center or deep side-parted, tweaking it from chic to edgy.

Kate Bosworth

Kate's long locks are no more. Her bouncy bob looks so darn chic, we really, really want to take her lead and go for the chop too.

Anne Hathaway

She may convincingly be rocking extensions for the filming of The Intern, but Anne's off-duty hair is this chic new bob.

What a way to grow out a pixie crop! Her super-fresh style looks modern ending at the jawline and with a low side-parting.

Rosamund Pike

The Gone Girl star is totally owning the bob. It's short, sharp and side-parted therefore ticking ALL the trends this season. Bravo.

Michelle Williams

Michelle has grown out her pixie crop into this mini bob. The key to making it work is all in the messy low side parting and city-swept texture. Make this your go-to style for in between short hair.

Clemence Poesy

Possibly the chicest bob on the planet now belongs to Clemence Poesy, who showcased her choppy cut at the Chanel show during Paris Fashion Week.

She wore it styled forwards with a center parting and wavy through the ends. Tres bon.

Katy Perry

Katy's retro bob oozes flirty fun. Never afraid to push a style to the max, she pairs the cut with short choppy bangs – and totally nails it.

Kelly Rowland

Where better than New York Fashion Week to show off a chic new bob? Nowhere, Kelly Rowland decided at the Opening Ceremony show, where she looked amazing on the Frow.

We love the jaw-skimming length and simple center parting of her cut.

Emma Roberts

Emma Roberts revealed her new cut at the Elle Women in Television bash in Hollywood. We love the angular cut of the crop and long sweeping fringe. Very grown-up – in a good way.

Zosia Mamet

Girls actress Zosia Mamet showed off her new hair at the season 3 UK premiere of the show.

Done simply but effectively, Zosia's bob was styled with a little wave and a slightly off-center parting. We adore.

Hayden Panettiere

Slicked back and sexy, Hayden Panettiere's shoulder-skimming bob is simply gorgeous and totally on trend. She's making us want to reach for the scissors immediately.

Lily Collins

Lily's latest look is stunning. She pulls off this choppy bob with ease and makes us want to immediately reach for the scissors in the process.

Camilla Belle

Camilla's curly bob looks effortlessly sexy. Her strong brows and long, butterfly lashes complement it perfectly.

January Jones

January Jones always proves the versatility of a bob styling hers in endless ways, from a punky quiff 'do to 1920s Marcel waves.

Karlie Kloss

Combining a cutesy bob and side-swept fringe, Karlie's petite features can totally take it but if yours aren't so delicate try a slightly longer length.

Emma Watson

Proof that a bob is the biggest tress trend of the season, even those with long hair is doing it. Emma Watson's faux bob style looked amazing on the star.

Julianne Hough

Julianne's soft blonde bob looks amazing with some tousled texture. While straight 'n' sleek is big this season an intentionally messy finish can look super-cool.

Cate Blanchett

Cate's simple and stylish cut looks incredibly youthful. We love the easy breezy swept-behind-the-ears look.

Michelle Dockery

The Downton Abbey star shows how bobs can look ultra-sophisticated when styled straight and sleek a la this season's minimal hair trend.

Claire Danes

Another faux bob fan, Claire Danes was perhaps inspired by January Jones to get a bob job when she tried this cut-illusion. We think she should commit.

Christina Hendricks

With red being the shade of the season, Christina is ticking the trends with her curly bob. This one takes a little more effort from heat styling, but just look at the rewards.
