Hailey Bieber's 2023 bob is one of my favorite celebrity haircuts of all time. The cropped cut, which just brushed her jawline, became a mainstay for the Rhode founder, and she wore her hair short for a longggg time after making the initial chop. Lately, however, it has seemed like Bieber was growing her hair out… until now, anyway! In a surprise move, Bieber is back to the bob, but it's not the same short style we remember so fondly—it's a cute, swingy, '90s-style lob!
Bieber showed off her fresh cut on Instagram Stories on December 14, posing in the mirror to give us a good, clear look at the new length. Her hair, which previously fell past her collarbones, now hits just above her shoulders, courtesy hairstylist Justine Marjan. Instead of a blunt, straight-across bob like her 2023 cut, this one was cut with soft layers for motion and movement, with an easy, breezy silhouette that could be styled ultra-sleek or in a voluminous blowout, but can still be pulled up in a bun or ponytail. The lob looks like something you'd see on the heroine of a Y2K rom-com or sitcom, especially when styled with Bieber's boatneck top, though the model skipped the throwback side part in favor of a middle part.

The lob cut may be fresh and new for the holiday season, but Bieber's manicure, which made a cameo in the mirror selfie as she held her phone aloft to snap a pic, remains true to form. (And yes, she does have a Rhode lip balm stuck to her phone!) Her almond-shaped nails were painted in the glazed, frosted style that has become part of the signature “Hailey Bieber” look. While Bieber may be heading into the holidays and the dawn of 2026 with a new, shorter hairstyle, it's nice to know that some things never change!
