A bob will forever be my favorite hairstyle and whenever I see a celeb rocking a new one, it awakens every sensation in my scalp. There’s just something about the cut that looks great on everyone and is, surprisingly, versatile.

A bob can be worn playful and wavy or blunt and sophisticated, and let’s not forget all of the other options like lobs, half-shaven, asymmetrical… the possibilities are literally endless as these celebrities show. Here’s a look at some of the baddest bobs in the business.

Queen Latifah

The Queen is one woman you’ll never catch having a bad hair day and we think her signature hair color looks even sharper in this asymmetrical lob.

 

Kerry Washington

We have a few favorite hair looks from Kerry Washington but the sleek, short bob is definitely at the top of our list.

Kelly Rowland

Wavy or bone straight, Kelly’s blunt, jet black chin-length bob steals the show.

Taraji P. Henson

A bob is pretty much Taraji’s signature haircut, but she always manages to find new ways to reinvent the classic style.

Cardi B

Cardi B changes hairstyles like underwear, but this is one look we’re hoping she sticks with for a while.

Monica

Monica is another hair chameleon, and one of few women who looks equally amazing with a pixie, medium-length bob, or hair down her back.

Regina Hall

Regina plays with length from time to time but she always comes back to the bob and we love it.

Michelle Obama

There’s no way we could forget about Lady O’s go-to cut of choice. Blunt or wavy, she was made for the bob.

Remy Ma

When Remy Ma debuted a blunt cut bob at the Soul Train Awards this past year, she was almost unrecognizable. We’re so glad she kept up with this understated yet glam haircut.

Gabrielle Union

Fabulous hair is nothing new for Gabrielle Union, but short hair is and we have to say it suits her quite well.
