Michelle Williams
Michelle Williams stepped out for the Emmys in Los Angeles on Sunday night, donning a blond, chin-length bob. The 45-year-old “Dawson’s Creek” star previously kept a shorter cut, one that reached just past her ears. Here, Williams’ ends brushed below her jawline with messy waves for full movement throughout.
Gayle King
Gayle King arrived outside the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles with her caramel-color bob kissing her shoulders. The “CBS Mornings” host also styled her long fringe, letting the short pieces fall past her eyebrows, tickling her lashes. Meanwhile, face-framing layers wrapped around the edge of her face.
Parker Posey
Parker Posey put a new twist on her signature shoulder-length hair, adding depth to the color with moody shading. Rather than her previous amber coloring, the actress opted for a deep sienna hue just in time for the forthcoming spooky season.
Leslie Bibb
Leslie Bibb may have “bob blindness,” a concept that’s used to describe the self-delusion of thinking a bob is too long when it’s not. The actress showed up to the Emmys in Los Angeles on Sunday night with a shorter chop than she’s had before. Bibb’s blond bob appeared freshly cut, finishing just past her ears.
Sarah Catherine Hook
Sarah Catherine Hook followed suit with her “The White Lotus” Season Three castmates at the Emmys on Sunday, unveiling her new bob haircut. The 30-year-old star made a big chop to her medium brown hair, cutting the ends to meet her jawline. Before the awards ceremony, Hook was known to keep her hair past her shoulders.
Phaedra Parks
Phaedra Parks evoked Marilyn Monroe at the Emmys outside the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, arriving on the red carpet with blond, roller curls parted on the right side of her face. Her makeup — comprised of gold shimmer and bold lashes — resembled old Hollywood glam, too.
Lukita Maxwell
Lukita Maxwell stepped out on the red carpet at the Emmys on Sunday night with a sleek side part. Maxwell’s dark brown bob stopped at her chin; the light side was tucked behind her ear. The “Shrinking” actress’ style was the archetype bob, one with little movement.
