Back in June, Kendall Jenner took to Snapchat to debut a mane of freshly leveled lengths—a teaser for the haircut she would eventually wear on this month’s September cover of Vogue. But the supermodel’s snip, which came courtesy of editorial legend Garren, didn’t exist in a vacuum. Since then, the shoulder-grazing style has turned up on more than half a dozen girls-of-the-moment, emerging as a casual-cool street style calling card for everyone from Elle Fanning to Cara Delevingne.
The most notable element of the bob’s latest incarnation—and the reason it’s poised to be fall’s MVP chop as we move into the new season—is its slightly longer proportions, which translate into serious versatility. Whether worn with bangs (Rihanna), raked half-up (Chrissy Teigen), or sideswept and left to skim the shoulders (Rosie Huntington-Whiteley), it’s got a subtle styling edge on its above-the-shoulder predecessors.
Selena Gomez’s recent beanie-clad outing paired bombshell levels of volume with key fall headwear, for instance, while Delevingne’s abbreviated blonde retains signature off-duty ease when worn in loose waves and sharply shaded eyes. When in doubt, of course, make like Jenner and let the sporty, low-maintenance undercurrents of a baseball cap substitute for makeup.
Here, a look back at seven of our favorite recent takes on the look. Here’s to picking up the shears.
