Do you keep in mind, again earlier than Pinterest, when hair salons had magazines filled with types you may have a look at for inspiration? You’d carry the heavy pages to your stylist, level on the third gal in row 4 or no matter, and say “I would like that one.” While you left the salon, you would possibly look one thing just like the particular person within the picture. However then, except you have been nice at styling, you’d by no means see the resemblance once more—particularly if it was a bob you have been after.
Clearly, this can be a drawback celebrities have by no means needed to take care of. They have been the inspiration for these magazines, and their glam groups are at all times available to verify the styling part of a minimize is not an issue. Take Gabrielle Union, for instance. On Tuesday, she attended Schiaparelli’s high fashion spring-summer 2025 present in Paris sporting her hair in an asymmetrical bob that might very simply give a novice quick hair wearer some issues.
Union, although? She appeared good. These ’90s Bob Journal editors (can we get a “the place are they now” on them, please?) would’ve beloved it.

Aspect parted and layered, the 52-year-old’s hair was so very Posh Spice, dusting the realm round her proper ear on one aspect of her head whereas concurrently falling gracefully over the left aspect of her face.
The quick fashion (we might classify it as a bixie minimize, too) was the work of Larry Sims, who humbly known as the brand new look a “Chop Chop In Paris” in an Instagram caption. In the identical submit, he referred to Union as his “essential muse,” which I am positive loads of folks would agree with.
Per week in the past, Union posted her personal Instagram carousel displaying off a head of lengthy waves. So sure, no matter hair chameleon standing, this can be a large change up for her. She must be attending at the very least a pair extra exhibits throughout Haute Couture week, so it will be enjoyable to see how Sims types it subsequent.

To complete off the look and set that lovely bob up for much more success, stylist Thomas Christos Kikis put Union in a black Schiaparelli robe with mesh panels. Make-up artist Ngozi Edeme gave her fairy mud eyeshadow whereas a nude manicure amplified the curated simplicity of her Schiaparelli bracelets and diamond ring.
I am actually not courageous sufficient to aim this minimize with out Sims close by, however I will be taking eyeshadow inspiration away with me. And the subsequent time you have a chance for a “chop chop in Paris?” Simply take it. You’ll be able to work out tomorrow’s styling later.
