It’s not too long, and it’s not too short, but it’s definitely way too hot to handle. The long bob haircuts in the language of beauty and styling have been a total Hollywood darling in the past few years.
Therefore, we have decided to compile a list of 50 of the most glamorous, sexy, and downright gorgeous looks right off the red carpet that include long bob haircuts.
May they inspire you to your next cut!
1. The Kylie Jenner Long Bob
We begin our list of long bob haircuts with supermodel and Kardashian clan representative, Kylie Jenner.
She sports a long bob in a dark brunette color which matches her coffee-colored eyes perfectly, as well as her tanned skin.
2. The Charlize Theron Bob
No stranger to short haircuts here is South African actress Charlize Theron sporting a lob, which perfectly frames her beautiful oval face.
You can notice that she is also wearing her signature blonde hair, to which she has stayed true all her life.
3. The Cheryl Cole Long Bob
The British singer and dancer are one of the most beautiful women across the pond. When it comes to hair, she adores long bob haircuts, and she loves them as puffy as they get.
If you want to copy her looks, you will need a blow dryer and a lot of hairsprays.
4. Ciara’s Long Bob
At the other end of the spectrum lies American singer Ciara who has opted for the effortless long bob haircut.
Here she is with a beautiful blonde balayage and just a hint of beach waves around her face that made her look like she just climbed out of bed.
5. The Heidi Klum Bob
If Heidi Klum starts sporting a haircut, that’s cue enough for us that we should consider wearing it ourselves.
Her long bob is sleek and straight with oversized side-swept bangs and choppy ends. And just look at that red lipstick. Wouldn’t hurt to buy one of those either.
6. Jennifer Aniston’s Bob Cut
She became internationally famous for two things. Playing the ditsy Rachel on Friends and wearing ‘the Rachel’ haircut on the same show.
Nowadays, however, she sports long bob haircuts in a mix of platinum and honey blonde.
7. Reese Witherspoon Long Bob Hairstyle
This legally beautiful actress is here to demonstrate how to wear long bob haircuts with bangs. She does it in style, and with a lot of sultriness, we might add. Take notice of the dark smokey eye and a nude lip.
8. The Emma Stone Bob
Few people know this, but actress Emma Stone is actually a natural blonde. You can see her here transitioning from blonde to the red hair she typically wears in her day-to-day life.
We have to say that we love her with both colors equally.
9. Jessica Alba’s Bob Style
There was a time when Jessica Alba was our teenage girl crush. Nowadays, she has transformed into a lovely, mature woman who wears a beautiful chestnut brown long bob.
She still has those lovely coffee-colored eyes and that big smile though.

We choose to focus on her long bob haircuts, which are absolute perfection.
11. Jennifer Lawrence’s Long Bob

Here she is sporting a long and angled bob in a chic platinum color.
12. Rose Byrne’s Long Bob Style
Another actress making the case for heavy bangs is the gorgeous Rose Byrne. She has come a long way from her days in Troy, turning into a sophisticated woman.
Just look at that chocolate milk hair paired with a dark rose lip. Scrumptious!
13. Olivia Palermo’s Bob
Even though actress Olivia Palermo is giving us major cheekbone envy every time we see her, we shall focus on her hair.
She too wears long bob haircuts in sweetheart curls. But really, does she even need to contour at this point?
14. Keira Knightley Long Bob
Keira loves shaggy long bob haircuts and you will too. They are just so easy to pull off and maintain!
All you need to do is work a little mousse or wax into your hair to give it that bedhead look, and you’re done. You can now safely walk out the door.

Nothing says Anne Hathaway like a huge smile. How about long bob haircuts in a dark cocoa color?
We love the 90s feel to this cut with the asymmetrical strands around the face and the long, sparkly earrings dangling about.
17. Alexis Bledel’s Long Bob
Rory grew up and transformed from a shy duckling into a fantastically gorgeous swan.
The long bob haircuts she wears are complimented by a little ombre down at the bottom and, of course, a blunt fringe. And just look at those blue eyes.
18. Kaley Cuoco Long Bob Haircut
Back in the day when she was only a beginner actress on the small screen, everyone’s favorite neighbor, Kaley Cuoco, used to wear long bob haircuts.
They were shaggy and completely reminiscent of the 2000s, especially paired with those tank tops with the bra strap showing.
19. Kate Beckinsale’s Bob
Do you need to glam your look a little bit? Take a page out of Kate Beckinsale’s book and sport a huge pair of plum glasses.
That’s on top of your already fabulous long bob haircuts, of course. Take notice of how shiny and glossy her hair is. Those are goals, right there.
20. Rachel McAdams’ Style
Remember when Rachel McAdams was blonde? It was about the time when she starred as Regina George in Mean Girls.
Her long bob haircuts are worth mentioning because they are cropped and feathery instead of being slicked like all the other ones.
21. Jennifer Lopez’s Very Long Bob
Now, this is a sight to see. Jennifer Lopez sporting long bob haircuts. We all know that the diva loves her locks and doesn’t just cut them pell-mell.
Therefore, she must have really been in love with this one to do it. So, we decided we’re going to copy it as well.
22. Jenna Dewan Tatum’s Dark Hair
Apart from the long bob, you need to take a look at Jenna Dewan Tatum’s hair color.
If you have similar eyes, this is the way to go because the dark brunette really sets them apart. We also love the cat eye and coral lip gloss she chose.

The blonde strands near her face elongate it a little since it’s so round and angular.
26. Cara Delavigne’s Long Bob
Are you wondering what one of the most famous supermodels in the world wears when she’s not on the runway for the biggest fashion houses?

35. Olivia Munn’s Look
Apart from the long bob haircuts, another aspect we’re very keen on is Olivia Munn’s hair color.

36. The Amanda Seyfried Bob Cut

She too loves long bob haircuts in a light chestnut brown complete with drooping diamond earrings. Swoon…
46. The Viola Davis Bob Surprise
Believe it or not, this is a wig. We included it on our list of long bob haircuts for two reasons.
- One: it’s absolutely fantastic and a wonderful haircut to copy.
