Stars on the 'gram have been showing off fresh haircuts, proving that a sharp bob is the icing on top of a summer look. "Bobs are on fire right now because they are easy and stylish," celebrity stylist Larry Sims says. "A great bob cut can go from super relaxed to super edgy quickly, which is why I love them."
Regina King, one of Sims' A-list clients, stole the show at the 2021 Academy Awards with a razor-sharp angular cut that made a strong case for blunt ends. Meagan Good's newest chop also made the rounds on social media as the ideal wispy style for the season. Ahead, we rounded up some of our favorite looks, and all signs are pointing to a real hot bob summer.

Meagan Good
If you were one of the 678,000 double-tapping (and staring) at this mirror snap of Good, you already know: Aside from the actress being stunning per usual, it was her haircut that really got our attention.
Hairstylist Jasmine Ashley is responsible for Good's chop, which sits right above her chin. The side-parted style has the perfect amount of blunt and body, and was co-signed by stars in the comments, who credited Good as their new hair inspo.
"Makes me miss my short hair," Christina Milian wrote. "I love this look," Good's longtime hair guru Dr. Kari Williams commented.
Halle Berry
Halle Berry's Oscars bob left the internet divided, but confirmed that a bold short cut is sure to turn heads. Sara Seward took a dramatic angular approach to the style, making Berry's hair tapered towards the back, longer along her cheeks, and topped off with wispy baby bangs.
Regina King
Sims got his client's bob so sleek for the Oscars using Flawless by Gabrielle Union Shine Enhancing Heat Protection Spray and Blow Dry Cream. Before cutting, he flat ironed in small sections to create a straight canvas. "Depending on the bob, I’ll cut bluntly or notch cut for a softer finish," he says. To finish King's style, Sims smoothed flyaways with the Flawless By Gabrielle Union Restoring Exotic Oil Treatment. Do you see that shine?
Simone Biles
Last summer, Simone Biles made a strong case for a fresh bob and silk press, and the service is still a popular choice for the gymnast. Biles posed with a shoulder-grazing cut with choppy ends that'll also look cute styled in loose waves.
Hunter Schafer
Flipped-out '70's hair isn't limited to longer styles — take a page from Hunter Schafer's book and blow the ends of your chin-length bob outwards for a retro look.
Niecy Nash
This subtly waved cut on Niecy Nash erased any doubts we had about shedding a few inches. Ray Christopher was responsible for the actress's look, which is slightly shorter in the back and gets longer and more chiseled towards her chin.
Tiffany Haddish
Christopher also hooked up Tiffany Haddish's icy blonde wig for an Ellen Show appearance with an off-center part and slight bends for dimension.
