If 2024 was the year of the bob—we had the “lob,” baroque bob, kicked bob, clavicut, Italian bob (the list goes on and on!), then 2025 is proving that hair is going even shorter. In just a few months, we’ve seen everything from ultra-cropped pixies à la Mia Farrow in Rosemary’s Baby on more than one celebrity, the glamorously androgenous “curtain crop,” a refresh of the classic “Pob”—a name that makes me giggle—and (of course) those classic bobs sliced with a straight edge we know and love all make a splash.
If you’ve been craving a change—and hearing the siren’s call of the hair salon—consider this your sign. Emma Stone, Kim Kardashian, Selena Gomez, Rihanna, and Keke Palmer are just a few of the celebrities leading the short-hair charge, which means you have more than enough inspiration to draw from. All you need to do is look inside (or maybe in the mirror) and ask: What’s the cropped cut you’re craving in 2025? And if you’re not so sure, scroll on.
