The star is no stranger to change—just recently, she was seen rocking long blonde hair. But over the weekend, she unveiled her chic new bob at the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas. Dubbed the 'Birkin bob' by celebrity stylist Dimitris Giannetos via Instagram, the look channels effortless French girl elegance.
According to Gregory Patterson, celebrity stylist and DIY expert for Sally Beauty, the 'Birkin bob' is a longer bob with fringed bangs. "These bangs, slightly feathered, frame the face far more effectively than blunt bangs. Unlike most bobs, which are cut above the shoulders, this version has a more refined edge."

What to Request from Your Stylist at the Salon
To get the perfect 'Birkin bob,' Patterson suggests asking your stylist for a haircut that ends at your collarbones. "For the bangs, ask for feathered layers to elegantly frame your face. You can also request face-framing layers if you'd prefer to avoid a blunt cut," he advises.
The key to this look is the longer lob vibe—but you can customize it however you like. Experiment with fringe lengths to best suit your face shape, or even play with textures, transitioning from a classic French bob to a more rocker chic style with a few scrunches.
How to Style the Look
We’ve all faced the challenge of trying to replicate that perfect hairstyle after a trip to the salon. Fortunately, this long lob offers multiple styling options, so you won’t need to spend hours with your styling tools.
Patterson advises applying a serum or hair oil before styling for an ultra-smooth, silky finish, as the look is all about smoothness and classic elegance. When blow-drying, take large sections and dry them mostly, but just before your hair is fully dry, apply your go-to volumizer to smooth the top, eliminate frizz, and add volume.
