Emma Stone's bob haircut [2] is back, baby. The "Cruella 2" actor [3] was spotted with a super short hairstyle while sitting courtside with husband Dave McCary [4] at the Lakers vs. Knicks game in New York City on Jan. 31. Stone has technically had the shoulder-grazing style since at least early 2023, but this is the first time we've gotten a full peek at the fresh chop, which she straightened with slightly flipped-under ends [5]. In mid-January, she wore a slicked-back updo for a movie screening, which made it harder to notice the length.
This is the shortest we've seen Stone's hair since the platinum-blond bob she had in 2017. The Oscar winner also experimented with a micro bob that hit well above her shoulders in 2014, and has dyed her natural blond hair [6] various colors through the years, including strawberry blond, copper, chestnut, and, of course, the signature red hue [7] she first adopted while shooting "Superbad" in 2006. We can hardly blame Stone for resurrecting the hassle-free bob, seeing as her daughter, Louise [8], is approaching 2 years old.
The bob remains a popular choice among celebrities this year, with Lizzo [9], Hailey Bieber [10], and Idina Menzel [11] all debuting the hairstyle in the last month alone. The so-called "box" bob [12], characterized by a voluminous, square shape, is also expected to be a huge haircut trend for 2023 [13].
