Synonymous with long, blonde, Rapunzel-like hair, it came as a surprise – albeit a good one – when Gigi Hadid chopped it all off in favour of a beachy bob. Hairstylist Chris McMillan (who is also the man behind Jennifer Aniston’s famously imitated hair) did the honours, and we’ve been keeping tabs on how she’s wearing the look ever since.
New snaps, posted by make-up artist Patrick Ta, show her taking to the bob like a duck to water. Tousled and beachy, Hadid’s new style is perfectly cut to flatter her face shape – sitting a couple of inches beneath her jawline, it helps elongate and draw attention to her striking features. Worn with lived-in texture and some undone waves, she’s given the cut a cool, California-girl touch – you can achieve a similar texture with the help of Hair by Sam McKnight’s Cool Girl Superlift Volumising Spray.

We’re awarding additional points for excellent bob execution because of the tonal make-up look she wore with it. Muted greige eyeshadow, a brown-nude lip and sculpted cheekbones completed the look – a super pretty combination which took its cues from the ’90s.
The definition of bob goals, we’ve got Gigi’s new look firmly on the moodboard for summertime. Who’s with us?
