One of the chicest looks of the moment has to be a blunt cut. It’s dramatic yet simple, and there’s a shape to work with every face. We’ve seen celebs rocking a variety of blunt bobs all year long, but something about the blunt look is edgy and cool. We’ve assembled some gorgeous blunt bobs, along with other blunt hair ideas as rocked by some of our fave celebs for you to ooh and ahh over — and to print out and take to the stylist for your next hair makeover.
1. Keira Knightley: Keira’s inverted bob perfectly plays off her strong bone structure and dramatic makeup. We love those couple of long pieces at the front — so effortlessly cool. (via No Glitter No Glory)
2. Julianne Hough: While we adored Julianne’s long waves, when she went blunt, she achieved icon-hair status. Her stylist told Elle that she cuts her hair dry to make sure she’s getting the right texture and blunt ends. (via HuffPo)
3. Hannah Simone: If you’re really attached to your long hair, you can opt for a blunt bang instead. Hannah’s bangs provide a perfect frame for big eyes and rosy cheeks. (via The Mash)
4. Marion Cotillard: If the French are rocking it, you know it’s haute couture. Marion’s asymmetrical bob and deep side part give interest to a simple style without overpowering her face or glitzy necklace. (via Harper’s Bazaar)
5. Kristen Connolly: A blunt ‘do is a great way to show off your hair color. It really pops with a simple cut. (via Beauty Editor)
6. Rosamund Pike: Rosamund proves blunt doesn’t have to be super sleek. Most of us dread the awkward in-between-chin-and-shoulders stage of growing our hair out, but with Ros’s undone bob it really works. (via Trend 911)
7. Olivia Palermo: Olivia style inspo 5eva. Olivia’s sombre is much more apparent against her sleek, center-parted hair. (via Beauty Editor)
8. Tamara Taylor: The pageboy is the cut we all had as kids and hated. But Tamara slims it down and adds a piecey bang for a cute update. (via Lipstick Alley)
9. Kirsten Dunst: This is a welcome departure from the ordinary for Kirsten, who usually opts for something a little less structured. This sleek take on her normally tousled hair really ups her glam factor. (via Glamour)
10. Kerry Washington: Kerry’s rocking a double blunt with this style — a blunt bang and mid-length cut. Her killer root drop is is also extra apparent because of how sleek and dark her hair is at the top. (via Napoleon Perdis)
12. Camilla Belle: Camilla manages to combine volume and sleekness, a combo we all strive for. (via Maurice Meade)
13. Lily Collins: We love everything about Lily in this pic — her subtly flipped-out blunt cut, her bold brows, her vampy lip. It’s everything we’re aiming for this fall, style-wise. (via Daily Mail)
14. Christina Hendricks: Christina’s rounded lob looks elegant and professional, but she spices it up with a red lip against her red hair. (via Pop Sugar)
15. Emily Blunt: Excuse the pun, but we really do love Emily’s blunt cut with face-framing pieces. It’s natural and gorgeous. (via Style Bistro)
16. Charlize Theron: Charlize proves bobs don’t have all the fun. Her long hair harkens back to our high school obsession with our flat irons, but in the best way. As in, why did ours never look that good? (via Glamour)
17. Emma Stone: Emma easily channels a ’20s flapper, but we’re loving the softness in this style, too. (via Harper’s Bazaar)
18. Krysten Ritter: Krysten rocked the Cleopatra-blunt cut before it was cool. It’s pretty much her signature look and works for anyone with an oval face. If you want to go for it, but have a different facial shape, just be willing to get bang trims often and spend a lot of time with the flat iron. (via Style Noted)
19. Brittany Snow: Brit gives her blunt cut a rocker edge with an asymmetric slant, smokey eyes and an embellished blazer. We dig it. (via Style Bistro)
