Despite the fact that I've been trying to grow my hair out for a few years, it's basically stuck at a permanent lob length. Thankfully, I have Selena Gomez to look to for lob-styling inspiration, and I will definitely be copying her latest look this weekend.
It's easy to get stuck in a cycle of repeating the same styles over and over, but Gomez is always switching it up. For the Rare Beauty Mental Health Summit in Los Angeles on May 1, the actor-singer-beauty brand founder wore a long bob that was equal parts sleek and swingy. Hairstylist Marissa Marino, who often works with Gomez, parted the star's hair in the center and styled it as straight and sleek as possible, probably with a very hot flat iron. Instead of letting the ends hang straight or flipping them out, Marino turned them under, creating a sculptural silhouette with just a hint of swishy movement. Marino didn't share which styling products she used on Gomez, but we need details on the shine, because it's so glossy you could probably see your reflection in it. Baby pink blush and glossy pink lips via makeup artist Hung Vanngo completed the fresh, pretty look.
Gomez has been having so much fun with her short hair lately. We've been treated to so many gorgeous hairstyles—and many of them are pretty simple to recreate at home. Gomez went back to short hair in late 2024 with a flipped-out bob, and since then we've seen her play with waves, ‘90s barrettes, and fluffy ’80s curls. She was definitely feeling the Old Hollywood vibes during awards season, showing off a sleek '60s bob at the SAG Awards, an Elizabeth Taylor-worthy style at the Golden Globes, and her ode to Marilyn Monroe at the Oscars. Short and sweet indeed.
