Selena Gomez Just Proved Why the Retro Bob is More Fun
Selena Gomez is never one to get stuck in a hair rut. When it comes to experimenting with beauty, the pop singer isn’t afraid to play with eye-popping wigs and hairpieces—and last week, she even took a real-life plunge by taking to shears, where she debuted a buzzed undercut style. The latest chapter in her ever-changing hair adventures? A dash of retro glamour. Gomez debuted a trompe l’oeil new look on Instagram today that played up a throwback proportions of the 1950s.
The new hair look, posted on Instagram by celebrity makeup artist Hung Vanngo, who often collaborates with the pop star on her fresh-faced looks, shows Gomez testing out uncharted beauty territory: A crisp geometric bob with plenty of volume, linear curved ends, and thick eyebrow-skimming bangs that nodded to Louise Brooks in its retro-chic feel. Though the hairstyle is most likely a wig—who wants to commit these days?—Gomez gets bonus points for boldly going where few have ventured in recent decades. Keeping the look perfectly calibrated for the social media era? A cool pale pink and yellow eye and a pop of bubblegum lip color.
