History is often made on the runway, and in the case of L’Oréal Paris' Le Défilé show, it has graced us with the ultimate bob inspiration to end our search forever - courtesy of Dame Helen Mirren and her perfectly ruffled French-style cut.
If you've been clued in on this year's hair trends, you'll know that bobs are very much in. In fact, we've seen a new iteration spring up with every season, like the Riviera bob, for instance, and the especially romantic-looking French bob. If the latter is something that speaks to you, we have some good news: Helen Mirren just debuted her own tres chic spin on the look while strutting down the runway for L’Oréal's Spring/Summer 2026 womenswear show, as part of Paris Fashion Week.
