Emma Mackey's latest red carpet look is showing me exactly why I'd trust a woman wearing a bob with my life.
The actress attended a special screening of her upcoming film, Ella McCay, in London on Nov. 24, where she wore a black blazer cinched at the waist and a plunging neckline, paired with an asymmetric yellow skirt and sheer black tights. Her outfit was all business, and so was her glam: on her face, she wore black eyeliner with a short wing, a light cheek tint, and a pinkish lip color. As for her hair? Mackey's blunt bob received the cool-girl treatment, with very soft waves, curtain bangs, and a middle part.
The bob still reigns supreme as one of 2025's most popular haircuts. Many celebrities, like Jenna Bush Hager and Michelle Williams, joined the trend earlier this spring, and after spending some time with longer tresses, Mackey followed suit with a chop shortly after.
The great thing about bobs is that, aside from being a great and stylish way to get rid of a few extra inches of damage if need be, they're also pretty easy to style on your own at home.
