Do you keep in mind, again earlier than Pinterest, when hair salons had magazines stuffed with kinds you might take a look at for inspiration? You’d carry the heavy pages to your stylist, level on the third gal in row 4 or no matter, and say “I would like that one.” Once you left the salon, you would possibly look one thing just like the particular person within the photograph. However then, until you had been nice at styling, you’d by no means see the resemblance once more—particularly if it was a bob you had been after.

Clearly, it is a drawback celebrities have by no means needed to cope with. They had been the inspiration for these magazines, and their glam groups are at all times readily available to verify the styling part of a lower is not an issue. Take Gabrielle Union, for instance. On Tuesday, she attended Schiaparelli’s high fashion spring-summer 2025 present in Paris carrying her hair in an asymmetrical bob that would very simply give a novice quick hair wearer some issues.

Facet parted and layered, the 52-year-old’s hair was so very Posh Spice, dusting the realm round her proper ear on one aspect of her head whereas concurrently falling gracefully over the left aspect of her face.

The quick type (we might classify it as a bixie lower, too) was the work of Larry Sims, who humbly known as the brand new look a “Chop Chop In Paris” in an Instagram caption. In the identical submit, he referred to Union as his “important muse,” which I am positive loads of folks would agree with.

Every week in the past, Union posted her personal Instagram carousel displaying off a head of lengthy waves. So sure, no matter hair chameleon standing, it is a large change up for her. She must be attending no less than a pair extra exhibits throughout Haute Couture week, so it’s going to be enjoyable to see how Sims kinds it subsequent.
