For many, the start of a new year is a perfect time to start afresh – and celebrities are very much like us in this respect. Case in point: Hailey Bieber. On Sunday night, the beauty entrepreneur, American Vogue cover star, and model shared a selfie that included the newest Rhode phone accessory, the hottest iPhone of the moment, and a fresh chop.
Last we saw her, Bieber was sharing snaps from a trip to Japan. Her chest-skimming lengths (in a shade of teddy bear brown) were parted in the middle with long, face-framing layers. But now, Bieber is back on Team Bob – or, if we’re being really specific, Team Lob. Her new look is a few inches shorter, with a few more layers.
And what, you may be asking, is a “lob”, exactly? The term is a portmanteau of “long” and “bob”, and refers to length that hits around the clavicle. It’s the perfect cut for the mum of a young child, like Bieber, given it has all the edge and fun of a short cut, with a bit more ease. (You can easily flip it into a practical ponytail.)
Besides, Bieber loves an Aughts reference, and her new ’do has a touch of that: it feels comparable to the it-cut worn by Rachel Green in Friends. New year, iconic cut.
