Liberté, Egalité, Sororité "You're Worth It" L'Oréal Paris Womenswear Spring/Summer 2026 show as part of Paris Fashion Week at Hotel de Ville on September 29, 2025 in Paris, France/ featured in a cream template with pink lines and circles.

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.
