5 Celeb Chin-Length Bobs That Make Windswept Tangles a Worry of the Past

Colder weather calls for heavier sweaters, longer layers, and triple-wrapped scarves. As cozy as that can be, when paired with longer hair, it can quickly turn annoying. Before you know it, your strands are getting caught in your outerwear, blowing about in the wind, and becoming perpetually frizzy or knotted in the back. While we love down-to-there hair,we’re quickly becoming fans of the opposite in preparation for winter weather. And we’re not alone — one look at our favorite celebs’ red carpet and street style tells us that sweater weather and shorter hair go hand-in-hand. Ahead you’ll find out everything there is to know about the seasonal strand sitch and whether it’s right for you.

How to Achieve the Ultimate Chin-Grazing Bob

As with any haircut, the trick to walking out of the salon with the style you have in mind is to come prepared knowing what you want, as well as what you absolutely don’t. “Anytime you ask your stylist for a new cut, bring in inspiration photos and be specific about the length,” Leo Izquierdo, co-founder of IGK Hair Care, says. “Ask for their input if they feel the direction you’re going in is right for your hair type, face shape, and style.” (Photo via Hero Images/ Getty)

Since anyone and everyone can rock a chin-grazing bob, the key is how it’s tweaked to flatter your unique features and lifestyle. “Stylists can cater to the individual,” Howard McLaren, co-founder and creative director of R+Co, says. “It can be tailored with bangs, cut so it’s all one length, or with texture to allow for multiple looks.” The stylist may add a bit of a face-framing angle on rounder and more oval face shapes to help slim features, whereas more angular bone structure can get away with a single length straight across.

And, when it comes down to hair types specifically, Arthur Shamalov, a senior stylist at Eddie Arthur Salon in NYC, says that, while short strands can suit all face shapes and hair types, bobs are especially beneficial (not to mention low maintenance) for fine hair. “It creates a style dimension between the color and adds fullness to hair,” he says.

As for the actual cutting, there are options. If you have curly hair, scissors are likely best to help maintain your texture while shedding length. However, when it comes to fine, coarse, or thick hair, celebrity stylist Leon Gorman tosses the shears aside in favor of razors. “My favorite way to create a new chin-length bob with modern warmth and sex appeal has got to be with razoring and texturizing the mid lengths and ends,” he says. There are a few different ways to go about razoring — your stylist can slice straight across as hair is hanging freely, or twist small sections of hair and razor from the mid-lengths to ends to create a lived-in, textured finish.

No matter your face shape or the way your bob is cut, knowing how to style your strands plays a big role. After all, that’s how these cuts can take new form every other day. “Ask your stylist to show you three ways to wear the cut, and choose products that will give you options to change your look,” McLaren says. Or, to make things even easier, keep scrolling for five Hollywood-approved short bob hairstyles.

Jessica Chastain

Jessica Chastain has forever been known for her gorgeous red mane, so when she chopped it off in favor of a bob in June of this year, it was a pretty big deal. Gone were the days of long, blown-out tresses, and in their place came a deconstructed wave. “She’s managed to maintain that old Hollywood glamour she’s so known for but add a little edge to it,” Kelly Araujo, master stylist at Medulla & Co in Toronto, says.

To achieve Chastain’s red carpet ready look, Araujo says to start by rough-drying wet hair, using a round brush on the front pieces to ensure face-framing flyaways are smoothed. Next, take a one-inch curling iron and wave hair toward your face. Araujo says the trick is to use your eye line as a guide so that the first bend of the wave sits just above your eye. “This is what gives this look that old Hollywood feel,” she points out. “Make sure all of your waves are curled in the same direction, so they sit nicely together.” Once you’ve curled your entire head, use a Denman Brush ($11) to brush hair from the root to the cheekbone. “This ensures that the roots are smooth and shiny and maintain that glamorous bend that frames her face,” she says. To lock the look in place, finish with a texture spray on the ends and gently rub them together to nail the perfectly imperfect appeal.

VANESSA HUDGENS

To imitate her smooth strands, towel-dry your hair and apply a nourishing leave-in conditioner like IGK’s THIRSTY GIRL Coconut Milk Leave-In Conditioner ($28). Use a round brush while blow drying to help shape your strands. “Be sure to flip the hair toward the face and down — not out,” Izquierdo points out, explaining that it will encourage hair to fold under instead of poof out. Complete the look with a spritz of shine-enhancing hairspray and one last pass of the brush for shine.

Lucy Hale

If you’re leaning toward a short cut that sits at chin level whether it’s styled or not, look no further than the Pretty Little Liars lead. “This bob is the most popular bob photo that clients bring me,” Araujo says. “I see a photo of Lucy Hale in my chair at least twice a week. And I mean, I’m not exactly shocked, because this haircut and effortless style, truly is hair goals.” (Photo via Taylor Hill/ Getty)

Unlike some hairstyles that look like they take zero time to achieve, but really require semi-pro styling skills, Hale’s textured tresses are as simple as one, two, three. First, rough dry hair with a blow-dryer, using a round brush to keep any face-framing flyaways in check. Next, spray hair with a texture spray (make sure it has heat protection) and create s-waves with a flat iron. Run the straightener down a portion of hair to create a bend. “Stop about one third of the way down, unclamp the straightener, and then put it back on, bending the iron in the opposite direction to secure the wave,” Araujo explains. Repeat this process all over your head.

SAOIRSE RONAN

“I love a good blunt bob,”Araujo says. “Saoirse Ronan’s is fun because it’s sleek, and the fact that it has no layers, makes it sit perfectly tucked behind her ear.” While the other stylized bobs pride themselves on volume and texture, thissmooth style is ideal for fine-haired babes who don’t want to pump their hair full of product.

To score the understated, no-frills look for yourself, prep damp hair with a lightweight hair oil that doubles as a heat protector. Focus the product from your mid-lengths to ends and pat the remaining residue across your roots. Next, blow dry hair with a round brush and part to your preferred side. “When hair is dry run ends through a flat iron for a crisp beautiful line,” Araujo instructs. Finish by tucking hair behind your ears and spritz with a shine-enhancing hairspray, like Fave4 Flex Reflect Lightweight Glossing Hairspray ($18).

Kim Kardashian

You didn’t think we’d write a story about chin-length bobs without including Kim Kardashian, did you? Despite only rocking the style for what seems like the blink of an eye in summer 2018, Kim Kardashian West inspired women worldwide to ditch their long locks and side parts in favor of a short, middle-parted, slightly turned under ‘do. And, can you blame them? (Photo via BG017/Bauer-Griffin/ Getty)

To slay the style, after showering, “gently squeeze out moisture with an Aquis Microfiber Towel ($35) or Turban ($30) instead of a traditional towel, as they can be too harsh for damp, fragile strands,” says celebrity stylist Justine Marjan. Spritz OUAI Smooth Spray ($26) and “use the ghd Air Blowdryer ($199) and an R+Co Round Boar Brush ($80) to blow-dry the hair sleek, setting with Kitsch Creaseless Clips ($8) around the face,” Marjan says. After the hair is completely dry, go over each section with a flat iron, follow with a flat boar-bristle brush, and spray lightweight, gloss-enhancing hairspray, like Tresemme Micro Mist Hairspray ($5), from roots to ends. If you want a touch more shine, Marjan recommends rubbing some Bumble and bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil ($20) through ends.

As far as I'm concerned, 2024 was Daisy Edgar-Jones' year. The Normal People actress captured our hearts with her role as Kate in Twisters (as well as her viral Hot Ones interview with Glen Powell and "Apple" TikTok dance). But while Kate led a pretty adventurous life, her risk threshold is nothing compared to Daisy's newest character, Muriel, in On Swift Horses.

Living in post-Korean War California, Muriel's life with her husband Lee is disrupted when Lee's brother Julius arrives in all his addictive, charming glory. The film, based on Shannon Pufahl's 2019 book of the same name, made its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 7. Here's everything you need to know.

What is On Swift Horses about?

Luc Montpelllier

On Swift Horses Plot

Muriel begins a new life with her husband Lee when he returns to California from the Korean War. But the life they're building together — and their future — changes forever when Lee's brother Julius, a headstrong gambler, arrives. Julius is attractive, charismatic, and hiding plenty of secrets.

According to the official synopsis, "when Julius takes off in search of the young card cheat he’s fallen for, Muriel’s longing for something more propels her into a secret life of her own, gambling on racehorses and exploring a love she never dreamed possible."

Luc Montpelllier

The story explores LGBTQ+ identity and desire in the 1950s, but does so with a hopeful tone rather than a devastating one. “The first scenes that we filmed were the scenes we had together, so we got all of that done with—when we were apart, we had put the groundwork in,” Daisy tells Vanity Fair of working with Jacob, who adds, "I believe Taylor Swift calls it an invisible string.”

"I loved the connection between gambling and risk-taking, and pushing the boundaries of her desire and what she’s looking for,” Daisy adds. “Muriel’s rebellion throughout the film is quite quiet, in the small ways in which she takes back her power by concealing things. A lot of what’s happening is behind closed doors.”

Who's in the cast of On Swift Horses?

Luc Montpelllier

On Swift Horses Cast

On Swift Horses stars Daisy Edgar-Jones, Jacob Elordi, Will Poulter, Sasha Calle, and Diego Calva.

"It's not hard to make chemistry with Jacob because he's just so charismatic," Daisy said during a Q&A, via People, adding that the script "felt almost like reading poetry and so much of what happens is in the subtext."

"This movie is just about love,” Calle added. “It’s important to just feel that — whoever that might be, where that takes you. It’s important to feel that and to feel safe in it.”

Has On Swift Horses been released?

As charming as Julius appears in the teaser trailer, his brother Lee tells Muriel they live differently than he does. "He's just not like us," he says before a scene cuts to Muriel exploring her own "passions." Based on this, On Swift Horses appears to blur the lines of love, lust, secrets, and recognizing one's identity.

Yay — Olivia Culpo just announced she's pregnant with her first baby! She and her husband Christian McCaffrey have been married for almost a year, so we think the timing's perfect.

And boy did they make a grand announcement we can't stop gushing over!

Her sisters, Aurora Culpo and Sophia Culpo quickly left comments that sum up auntie energy. While Aurora said, "😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭im so happy ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ cant wait to spoil him/her forever!!!!!," Sophia wrote, "Counting down the days!!!!!🥹🥹🥹." 👀

Jessie James Decker even left a congratulatory comment! "Olivia!!!! I am soooo happy for you and @christianmccaffrey 🥹🥹🥹🥹!!! You’re going to be an amazing mama 😍 😍😍😍😍 soooo happy."

We wonder how long they've known Olivia's pregnant 👀.

Did Christian McCaffrey share his own announcement? 

It doesn't look like he personally posted this adorable reel of he and Olivia's baby news, but we still think he deserves a "Husband of the Year" award for letting it be on his Instagram page. We're not setting the bar low; we just think it's admirable when partners are equally excited about expanding their families!

Have Olivia Culpo and Christian McCaffrey shared a due date?

Olivia and Christian haven't shared a due date just yet, but we may have a hint! Olivia recently shared something interesting on Instagram stories about her motor skills at the beginning of her pregnancy. She posted a picture of her in a gym with the text overlay, "I couldn't workout the first 4 months of my pregnancy (not even walking!!!!!) so we're really making it count now...love you @westkeptsecret @mrswestinthebuilding 😘."

How long have she and Christian McCaffrey been married? 

Olivia and Christian traded "I Dos" June 29, 2024 according to Vogue. They had a beautiful New England wedding at Ocean house and were surrounded by the love of the people closest to them. Of a funny moment involving Christian during their nuptials, Olivia gushed how much she loved his excitement. "As a bride, there’s no better feeling than your husband not being able to wait a second longer to marry you."

Prior to getting married, the couple's relationship was the result of a "blind date" orchestrated by someone they knew. Olivia said things went so well that they were basically "inseparable" from that point forward!

We can't wait to see if they'll share more news with us so stay tuned for updates!

After only two episodes of Only Murders in the Building season 4, Hulu renewed the series for season 5! I'm so excited that the show breaks a recent pattern of cancelling shows after the third or fourth season, giving us more time with our favorite characters, and I'm not the only one.

"Here we go again… my favorite set family. I’m coming home!" Selena Gomez says in an Instagram post, while the official Only Murders account made their own post, saying, "We had our lawyers call business affairs. Turned the 4 into a 5. #OnlyMurdersInTheBuilding is coming back for Season 5!!"

Here's everything you need to know about Only Murders in the Building season 5, coming to Hulu soon.

What is Only Murders in the Building season 5 about?

Only Murders in the Building Season 5 Plot

We finally got our first details about Only Murders season 5 — and we're going in a direction I totally didn't expect. When Sofia visits Mabel and Charles in the season 4 ending, and asks them to find her missing husband, she's disappointed when they turn her down. And since Téa Leoni just joined the season 5 cast, it looks like she's not taking no for an answer.

“I think she’s the great tease at the end of the finale and a little bit of an intriguing bump forward,” co-creator John Hoffman says in an interview with Deadline. “She’s an extension of the little news report in Episode 9 that Mabel makes note of at the hospital. [Sofia] is the wife of the Dry Cleaning King of Brooklyn, and maybe a couple of dry cleaning outlets in Manhattan, as well, we may come to know...It’s a world opened up potentially that we haven’t talked about too much yet in New York, so she holds a lot of intrigue.”

Patrick Harbron/Hulu

New York's underground is a wild space that we haven't really seen on Only Murders yet so I know we're in for one very interesting season — because if this show is going to go there, they're going to go there.

Executive producer Dan Fogelman told The Wrapwe can look forward to “another big fun mystery the writers have been cooking up," while Hoffman has gone on the record saying the new episodes will “hit on some very current things going on within New York, specifically very relevant things that are happening in the city right now.”

When is Only Murders in the Building season 5 coming out?

Patrick Harbron/Hulu

Only Murders in the Building Season 5 Release Date

According to The Wrap, Only Murders is looking to begin production on season 5 in March of 2025. Considering we've had a new season over the last four years (with season 1 in 2021, season 2 in 2022, season 3 in 2023, and season 4 in 2024), we're expecting to see season 5 in 2025. Stay tuned for the official Only Murders in the Building season 5 release date.

Who's in Only Murders in the Building season 5?

Only Murders in the Building Season 5 Cast

The cast of Only Murders in the Building includes Selena Gomez, Martin Short, and Steve Martin. Téa Leoni will also return as Sofia Caccimelio, whose husband Nicky has gone missing.

According to Dan Fogelman, “we can expect more big guest stars that’ll probably be announced sooner rather than later,” he tells The Wrap.

Season 3 featured Ashley Park, Paul Rudd, Meryl Streep, and Jesse Williams, while season 4 stars Streep, Eugene Levy, Eva Longoria, Kumail Nanjiani, Desmin Borges, Siena Werber, Lilian Rebelo, and Molly Shannon.

"I am so grateful that I have been surrounded by human beings that make me better, challenge me, remind me day after day that every moment is a gift," Selena Gomez says about working with Martin and Short. "That’s my pure joy. I thank god for the era I’m in. It’s been the best yet."

Will there be an Only Murders in the Building season 5?

Patrick Harbron/Hulu

Yes, Only Murders in the Building has been renewed for season 5! On September 4, Variety confirmed the next installment will have 10 episodes, just like the seasons before it. The latest season premiered on Hulu August 27, and will last until October 29 (just in time to try out an Only Murders Halloween costume!)

Just like the season 3 ending set up season 4, we'll have to wait for the October finale to figure out what kind of mayhem Mabel, Oliver, and Charles will get into next season. "We hope you like it!" Selena Gomez says in the Only Murders in the Building account's announcement, while Martin Short adds, "How exciting is that?"

"We're so exciting to be coming back," Steve Martin says. We're excited too!!

It's easy to understand why Yellowstone has captivated audiences for five whole seasons. The show is packed with intense drama, complex characters, and stunning landscapes.

Yellowstone is also home to plenty of powerful moments and memorable lines. Whether it's a gut punch of wisdom or a cutting remark, here are some of the show's most iconic quotes.

Scroll to see the most iconic Yellowstonequotes we can't get enough of!

"You're either born a willow or born an oak. That's all there is to it." – Lloyd Pierce

In Yellowstone, the harshness of ranch life shapes its inhabitants in unique ways. Here, Lloyd offers a candid observation about the nature of people, suggesting that some are inherently strong and resolute, like oaks, while others are more adaptable and pliable, like willows.

This quote underscores one of the central themes of the show: the tough world of ranching creates individuals who are either suited for the challenge or will be bent by it.

"The only thing I ask is that you outlive me so I never live another day without you." – Beth Dutton

Beth may be regarded as the toughest character in Yellowstone, but beneath her fierce exterior is a deep well of emotion, especially when it comes to Rip.

In one of the most poignant moments of the series, Beth revealed a side of herself that viewers don't often see: her vulnerability and intense love for Rip. For Beth, having him by her side is more than just about companionship. It's a source of strength and stability.

"You know, when you boil life down, it's funny just how little you need, isn't it?" – Rip Wheeler

This line perfectly encapsulates Rip's simple yet profound outlook on life. As a man deeply connected to the land, he values self-sufficiency and is content with the basics, a philosophy that aligns closely with the rugged Western lifestyle the Duttons defend.

In his eyes, all that truly matters is the ranch and his family. His humble nature and his unwavering loyalty make him a grounding force amidst the chaos of the show.

"The brand isn't something you earn; it's something you live up to." – John Dutton

The Yellowstone brand is not merely a symbol of belonging. As the quote shows, it's also a constant reminder of the responsibility and expectations that come with it.

When Jimmy is given the choice to accept the brand, he isn't just going to be marked as part of the ranch. John Dutton runs his operation with a strict code of loyalty and unquestioned obedience, and Jimmy is being offered an opportunity to prove himself and live a life defined by hard work and sacrifice.

"A man who puts a hand on a member of my family never puts a hand on anything else." – Jamie Dutton

Despite their conflicts and dysfunctions, the Duttons share an unbreakable bond when it comes to protecting their own. Jamie's line goes to show that, even with all their flaws, the Duttons will unite in retribution when one of their own is harmed.

What makes this quote particularly striking is that it comes from Jamie, who's like a black sheep in the family.

"When you fight for a thing, the thing doesn't care if you win or lose because the thing ain't alive. But when you fight for people, they care." – Kayce Dutton

This line delivered by Kayce underscores the difference between fighting for a cause and fighting for the people you love. He points out the contrast between fighting for material possessions, like the ranch, and the genuine connection and impact that comes from fighting for those you care about.

The quote reveals a key difference between him and his father, John Dutton. While John's primary focus is the ranch's preservation, Kayce is more concerned with his family's well-being.

"Learn to be meaner than evil and still love your family and enjoy a sunrise." – John Dutton

In a modern Western like Yellowstone, there are undeniable themes of survival, sacrifice, and loyalty to family. This quote by John reflects the harsh reality of the cowboy lifestyle.

Furthermore, he believes that while life may demand hard choices, it's still possible to find moments of beauty and joy and hold onto the love that makes life worth living. His advice isn't just about fighting evil but surviving in a world where evil is inevitable while preserving a sense of humanity.

"When the misery is bad enough, tomorrow is rarely factored into decisions." – Monica Dutton

Finally, it's no secret that Monica has faced an unthinkable amount of challenges in her life, from the trauma of Kayce killing her brother to dealing with systemic racism. This quote shows her belief that when life is filled with mystery, it becomes nearly impossible to think about the future because the present is all-consuming.

It speaks to the emotional weight of living in such a brutal environment and resonates with many of the characters on Yellowstone.

Missing Yellowstone? Us, too. Here's everything you need to know about Taylor Sheridan's epic Yellowstone universe, from 1923to Landman.

Um, we already knew that Dakota Johnson was starring as Lowen in Colleen Hoover's Verity (what a great casting choice!) but I totally wasn't expecting to open my phone and see a video of Dakota in the middle of New York City...covered in blood. It was even more shocking than seeing that crazy The Summer I Turned Pretty leak that's not in the books! And if this Verity movie leak proves anything, it's that this movie is going to be just as insane as the book — if not more.

Keep reading for a deep dive into that Verity set leak featuring Dakota Johnson, Josh Hartnett, and lots of blood.

Things get messy for Dakota Johnson in 'Verity.'

We got our first look at Dakota Johnson as Lowen when she walked around New York City in burnt orange trousers, a beige top, and a gray coat. But there's one accessory that low-key makes my stomach turn: a splatter of blood on her face.

But it's going to make for one great movie scene.

@mickmicknyc Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett filming a graphic accident scene for 'Verity' in NYC 🎬🙈 #dakotajohnson#joshhartnett#verity#bts#behindthescenes#entertainmentnews#nyc♬ original sound - New York Mickey

In this extended leak from @mickmicknyc on TikTok, Lowen's taking a stroll through Manhattan when a car accident with a biker covers her (and a few very-expressive extras) in blood. The movie nerd in me immediately clocked that the camera does a 360 around Dakota as she looks at the accident, and I LOVE a 360 so I'm excited to see this in the final movie! Especially if the composer gives us some incredible music!

We also see Josh Hartnett's Jeremy approach her and make sure she's okay before the leave the scene.

"This is exactly how I pictured it," says one TikTok user in the comments, while another adds, "I actually forgot this is how the book started with how crazy the rest of the book was."

"The way I just screamed ahhhh I’m so excitedddddddddd," a third user says. I cannot wait!
