These 9 '90s Bob Trends Are Making a Major Comeback

Beauty trends are known to recycle themselves, and '90s hairstyles are holding on strong. Bobs, in particular, have made a major comeback. With inspiration stemming from '90s icons like Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore, and Naomi Campbell, it comes as no surprise that we're seeing a resurgence of these short-hair looks.

From bubble bobs to flippy bobs, a variety of bob styles are enjoying a revival. We've rounded up some of our favorites to inspire your next look. Ahead, see nine of the most timeless '90s bobs and modern-day examples.

The Bixie

When Winona Ryder debuted this haircut, it hadn't yet been dubbed a "bixie." However, the term is permanently in our beauty lexicon now. This bob-pixie hybrid offers the best of both worlds. It's got that long bubbled bob length around the face, but the above-the-jaw crop and layered neckline in the back venture into pixie territory. Thanks to stars like Taylor Russell and Florence Pugh, the cut is returning to the spotlight.

The Blunt Bob

Basically, anything that happened at the height of supermodel fandom became a trend to be replicated. Blunt bobs, for example, made a major splash in the '90s because of fashion's finest, like Naomi Campbell and Linda Evangelista. Celebs like Lori Harvey and Kourtney Kardashian continue to flock to the sharp, straight haircut today.

The Bubble Bob

The bubble bob has been hot since actresses like Nia Long wore it in the '90s. Today's version, as seen on stars like Ciara, is often worn at slightly shorter lengths. However, the dramatically tucked ends remain, adding a playful feel to the bouncy look. This voluminous look is perfect for those with thick, textured hair but can be adapted for other hair types.

The Cropped Bob

Cropped bobs have been flooding our social feeds lately. Model-influencers like Kaia Gerber and Hailey Bieber are bringing back effortless chin-length styles similar to Cameron Diaz's look in the late '90s. This cropped bob is all about its lived-in feel, be it with choppy layers like Diaz or tousled, wavy styling like Bieber's.

The Curly Bob

In the '90s, Tracee Ellis Ross and Sarah Jessica Parker were two women who showed off their curls with chic bobs. Throughout the 2020s, we've seen more examples of stunning short haircuts with natural texture. Case in point: Yara Shahidi's short and structured curly bob.

The Flippy Bob

While flippy bobs date back to the '50s and '60s, they also had their moment in the '90s, as Drew Barrymore proved. The retro hairstyle continues to appear on red carpets today, with icons like Taraji P. Henson giving it a go. Henson's high-shine, glossy hair and boldly flared ends give the look a current-day twist.

The Posh Bob

If you grew up in the '90s, you likely idolized The Spice Girls and their beauty looks. Victoria Beckham, known as Posh Spice, often sported a trendy center-parted bob. Selena Gomez has worn a bob much like Beckham's. The signatures of this style include sleekness and tons of shine. For added flair, you can slightly curl the ends under like Gomez.

The Rachel Bob

Whether or not you were a fan of the popular '90s sitcom Friends, you know about "The Rachel." Jennifer Aniston's ultra-layered haircut was a standout style of its time—a hairstyle phenomenon, to say the least. While the deep side part is still present, the actress' current approach to the lob is sleeker, smoother, and straighter overall.

The Supermodel Bob

'90s hairstyles were notorious for their volume, and the supermodel bob is no exception. Worn by the likes of Christy Turlington and Naomi Campbell, this style features fluffy curls and tons of movement. Seeing these big, billowy blowouts return to the red carpet on celebs like Sydney Sweeney and Zendaya has been a refreshing contrast to minimalist, no-fuss hair.
