    Twiggy

    This one's an oldie but a goodie greatie. For this super editorial look, curl only the strands closest to your face in two big S-waves: it's ideal for a morning when you're really pressed for time.

    Katie Holmes

    It's pretty, easy to pull off, and a classic bob shape, but what really sells this look is that she has her hair tucked behind her ears. Pin back your hair with bobby pins if you want to highlight your features even more.

    Marion Cotillard

    If you have finer, naturally straight hair, the best way to add some volume is to lop off some lengths (the bob is much less maintenance for this hair type than the lob).

    Alesha Dixon

    Make an even larger style statement if you're a natural brunette by opting for a platinum hue (the shorter length will make it easier to maintain the lighter tones, and there'll likely be less breakage involved).

    Christina Hendricks

    Hendricks knows how to nail a dramatic moment, and here the Old Hollywood curls aren't the end of this vintage style. Top off your bob with a chic little pillbox hat like hers in the colder months.
