Selena Gomez's New Bob Proves Why a Fresh Cut is the Best Breakup Move

Following her breakup with Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez marked a new chapter with a short bob in Malibu.

Justin Bieber isn’t the only one sporting breakup hair. One week after news broke that he and Selena Gomez are putting their relationship on pause, Gomez stepped out with a new look of her own. The Texas-born singer, who sported waist-grazing hair with wispy fringe for most of fashion month, had gone shorter of late. But yesterday in Malibu, she proved what a difference a few extra inches can make by debuting a head turning chin-grazing style.

Debuting the new length with an abbreviated pastel pink top, beige knit sweater worn off the shoulders, and lived-in denim, Gomez was the picture of post-breakup cool. As her radical platinum blonde dye job revealed last fall, a shapeshifting coif is often a signal for change in one's personal life. But with the warmer months ahead, the timing of her new-lease-on-life crop couldn’t be better.
