If we asked you to name Uma Thurman’s most iconic hairstyle to date, there’s little doubt you’d reference that bob. The one she wore as Mia Wallace in the cult classic Pulp Fiction. Mia’s blunt-cut brunette bob with severe micro-fringe was nothing short of iconic – 30 years later, it’s still referenced by professional hairstylists.
However, Thurman has range, as she demonstrated when she stepped out in Hollywood to celebrate three decades since the film was released. The actor showed off a simple mid-length lob, her blonde hair in a deep side parting with natural, undone texture. Showcasing her flawless, luminous skin and those entrancing blue eyes, Thurman, 53, looked incredible.
Mid-length chops are having a moment, with many A-listers experimenting with in-between cuts this year. From Jennifer Aniston to Penélope Cruz, they are a particular favourite amongst those in their late forties and fifties. Unlike Mia Wallace’s directional bob – a look that’s notoriously difficult to pull off – a lob like this is easy to style, effortlessly cool and works well with different textures. It’s a yes from us.
