If the Braided Bob Ever Needed a Spokesperson, It Would Be Tyla

A black woman with braids photographed by paparazzi.

Leave it to Tyla to continue reminding me that you can absolutely still enjoy how chic a bob is even while your hair is tucked away in a braided protective style. The "Chanel" singer popped out as a musical guest on the most recent episode of The Tonight Show, and her hairstyle for the occasion fully convinced me that if the braided bob was ever in need of a spokeswoman, she'd be the perfect person for the job.

Tyla appeared on the talk show on Jan. 27 wearing a two-piece Chanel skirt set that featured an off-the-shoulder cardigan and a miniskirt with matching red-and-white knitting. Underneath, she styled it with a black bra top and accessorized with pearly red and white jewelry and looped a white chain around her waist. In true Tyla fashion, her glam for the night was just as charming as her outfit. For the performance, she wore her hair in a braided hairstyle that featured small, half-braided cornrows with a side part on the left side of her head. The braids were bob length and styled with a retro, flippy curl at the ends.
