45 Celebrity Bobs That Aren't Your Average Mom Cut

Hudgens looks every bit the fairy tale princess with a chic, wavy blowout and the white ribboned dress of dreams. 

Got somewhere fancy to go and not enough hair to throw your hair into a chignon or updo? Try curling up your hair—in spirals by the ears and in an S-shape with the pieces closest to your line of sight. 

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. 

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. 

The supermodel way to add character to a bob? Keep it cropped super short and add some jagged bangs. 

Keep your lengths sleek, straight, and all one length for an elegant bob like Hale's. 

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). 

Curl out the strands closest to your face for a wispy pixie-style bob with character.

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). 

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. 

To add even more volume to a wavy bob, choose a deep part, blast your hair at the roots,  and round brush the lengths closest to your face. 

Here, Hilton ditches the long hair to go the Betty Draper route with a chin length bob that's curled all the way to the bangs. 

Even though she's now known for her long straight hair, Selena Gomez once rocked a shoulder-length bob that looks even sweeter with side-swept bangs. 

In which SJP forgoes her signature Carrie Bradshaw curls for this short and bouncy style (the middle part is key).

Perry does her best Cleopatra impression with a rounded bob and blunt, brow-skimming bangs. 

Highlights and perfectly teased curls make Benson look practically like royalty. 

We're loving the sleek and slicked-back style seen on Lily Collins here. 

Switching up the part on your bob can give it this cool asymmetrical look, especially if you ask your stylist for longer locks in the front and shorter strands in the back. 

Ditching her supermodel locks, Kloss looks the picture of a '20s flapper girl with short curled strands and and side-swept bangs. 

This English rose keeps it interesting with cropped bangs and rounded edges (blowout your hair with a round brush to achieve the look). 

The perfect style for a wedding or special occasion: pull your hair back with an ornate headband and curl your hair in rollers to perfect Jaime King's bouncy ringlets.

A longer cut in the front that tapers in the back will keep your rounded bob looking fresh—and not overly matronly. 

Agron goes the bedhead route with piece-y bangs for a youthful night-out look. 

Chung keeps her bob from looking dowdy with a blunt cut and an ombre gradient.

Textured strands and a play on dark roots could give you Ciara's rocker-chic bob. 

Take your bob from day to night by running a curling iron through the strands and experimenting with a curving part. 

#Throwback to when the Mother of Dragons surprised us all with shorter locks. We know, we know—her signature golden mane on GoT is a wig (and a glorious one, at that) and will return come winter (see what we did there?).

Our favorite funny girl goes punk with pale pink strands in her signature short 'do.

Washington plays with wavy texture that's uncomplicated and a little less "Olivia" than we're used to.

While promoting her new book, Why Not Me, Kaling sported a chin-length coif—and thanked her stylist for the "dreamy cut."

Stewart's side-swept bob, paired with her signature smoky eye, are anything but sweet.

McAdams uses texture and a little bit of heat to achieve the subtle flick in her strands. 

Bye-bye bombshell locks. Lopez goes short, but still keeps it glamorous as ever with chin-length curls.

Pike's asymmetrical bob is ever-changing. Wavy one day, stick-straight the next. She proves there is nothing boring about this timeless cut.

Robbie's punkish pushed-back bob is a take on the "wet hair" look we can finally get on board with. For days when you just can't deal with shorter layers in your face, straighten the sides and slick the top back.

Stone's short layers are more lob than bob, but chic and stylish nonetheless. Our recommendation is to go for the bob now and rock her wavy lob come fall.

Rihanna brings the '90s back with retro round frames, a choker, a flipped-out bob, and bobby-pin hair art.
