From Keira Knightly’s sleek and simple look to Selena Gomez’s Old Hollywood styling, we have more than enough proof that the bob will continue to make itself known in its various forms. Ahead, browse the best bobs of the 2025 Golden Globes.
Keira Knightly
Forever the queen of the bob, Keira Knightly styled her strands in a sleek and simple bob featuring a strong middle part and soft curled-under ends.
Sarah Paulson
Sarah Paulson's lob is stunning. Her thick lengths are curled under just so, allowing them to pool just below her collarbone.
Zendaya
Volume is what makes Zendaya’s Old Hollywood bob truly sing. Hairstylist Coree Moreno used Bellami Silk Seam Clip-In extensions in shades of Chestnut Brown and Chocolate Brown in the same length as her natural tresses to add tons of body.
Nava Mau’s raven locks were expertly styled into this tousled bob by hairstylist Riad Azar. The look features subtle waves and a deep side part, creating beautiful volume on top of her head.
Selena Gomez
“Selena Gomez’s Golden Globes hair inspirations are Sofia Loren, Lauren Bacall, and Marilyn Monroe—icons of glamour, sophistication, and chicness,” shared hairstylist Renato Campora in a press release. To add volume to her look, Campora added Essenza and Aria Tape-In Extensions, which are new from Great Lengths.
Cate Blanchett
Cate Blanchett kept her archetypal bob simple, styling one side tucked behind her ear and the other with a soft face-framing bend. The easy look allows her skin to be the star of the look, which received a pre-show glow from the CurrentBody LED Light Therapy Face Mask: Series 2.
Emma D’Arcy
Emma D'arcy's wet-look strands lend an effortless, lived-in air to their look. The minimalist styling allows natural waves to shine.
Jodie Foster
Jodie Foster's bob is proof layers can be just as impactful on short cuts are they are on longer locks. Her side bang cascades down her face for a soft look with a bit of texture.
Maya Erskine
A subtle barely-there ombré at the tips of Maya Erskine's wavy bob adds to the look's unfussy energy. The style is soft and uncomplicated.
