Lily Collins – the star of Netflix hit series Emily in Paris – cut her long hair into a jaw-length bob in June. Posting images of the style on Instagram, she wrote “new hair era unlocked”.

Other stars are joining her in this hair era, from Jessica Biel to Zendaya in tennis drama Challengers. Singer Gracie Abrams, who has supported Taylor Swift on her Eras tour, puts her bob front and centre on her album, The Secret of Us. Meanwhile, Gigi Hadid sent ripples across the internet when she cut her hair into a bob in March.
