"The Drama Cut." That's how Kaia named her new haircut created by Guido Palau and stylist Sandy Hullet. The chin-length cut and sculpted layers bring a lot of movement to the style, which especially suits those with square-shaped faces or strong jawlines.

Julia Roberts' stylist Serge Normant was responsible for this bob with honey blonde locks. It stands out for its soft waves and subtle cut, being longer in the front – hitting just at the collarbone – and cut above the shoulders in the back. The key to getting Julia's look is a curling iron and a texturizing spray.

Another diva that surprised with a bob was Kim Kardashian, with fans actually thinking she was wearing a wig. But her hairstylist and BFF Chris Appleton's scissors were responsible for this blunt bob, a perfect style for oval faces. And hair trend fans take note – if more than one Kardashian-Jenner wears it, it's not only a trend, it's a SUPER trend.
