Viola Davis is back in a bob [2] and we're suddenly feeling the urge to enroll in Middleton University. Davis wore the look while celebrating a friend's birthday on Aug. 10, and the new length, along with her jet-black hair color [3] and choppy bangs [4], just scream fall.

Captioning the photo "Breakfast with friends at @jinkys_cafe [5]!!! Thanks @thealist.us [6] for my @AnnTaylor [7] dress! Happy birthday @JamikaWilson [8]!!! ❤️❤️❤️," Davis kept the bob chin-length and the ends of her hair soft and flowy for an easy-going feel. She was also sporting the "birkin" bangs trend, which is a perfect cross between blunt and wispy bangs, after Jane Birkin's go-to style.

Bobs are an easy transitional hairstyle as the fall season [9] begins to loom, so if you're looking for a hair refresh, this may just be it. Celebrities like Millie Bobby Brown [10], Barbie Ferreira [11], and Keke Palmer [12] have all been spotted in different iterations of the style, which only serves as further proof that any hair type can get the look. Take a closer look at Davis's hairstyle below.
