Gigi Hadid’s bob evolution has been a joy to watch. The model cut off her once-signature long blonde hair coming up to a year ago, in favor of a chin-skimming, tousled bob. Amid what, for many, became characterized as the year of the bob, Gigi Hadid’s bob did the most bobbing. She played with icy blondes and soft bangs, slickbacks, and texture. Now, she’s come to what has become the bob du jour: welcome, the ‘fob.’

For the uninitiated, the ‘fob’ is a flipped bob: Where the side part flips over, the bangs follow the curve of the ear, and the ends kick up. It denotes some playful but controlled movement, and a ’60s-esque elegance.
Hadid’s hair was done by stylist Dimitris Giannetos (who has crafted the longer lengths of Demi Moore and Meredith Duxbury’s razor-sharp short look) using products by Opus Beauty. It remains Hadid’s familiar shade of sunny blonde with caramel highlights.
The new do was for the model’s latest Guest in Residence campaign. She wore a preppy cashmere quarter zip from the collection in striped lime, blue, red, and white, and kept her makeup soft, focused on a natural pink blush on the apples of her cheeks.
