Ana de Armas just debuted the trendy French bob haircut [2] you've been seeing all over Instagram lately, and the style looks like it was made for her. The actor debuted her new look on Jan. 17 in a YouTube video posted on Limara Meneses [3]'s channel. In the clip, De Armas looks right at home in her new chin-grazing bob hairstyle and choppy bangs.

Having previously had a medium-length layered hairstyle [4], the short chop is no doubt a big change for de Armas, but it might be just what she needed after the tumultuous year we had. Over the last 12 months, many people have opted for a big change by the way of a new haircut, including celebrities like Demi Lovato with her pink pixie cut [5], Keke Palmer and her chic mullet [6], and Chrissy Teigen with the famous Rachel cut [7].

While many are speculating the cut was inspired by a recent (ahem, high-profile) breakup, there are plenty of reasons people might opt for a drastic hair change, from a major life change [8] to boredom to a desire to take back control [9] in one's life. (Things we've all experienced our fair share of in 2020.)
