Other than for her role in the number one 90s pop girl group, Victoria Beckham is synonymous with the bob haircut. I mean, when you think of VB, you think of the 'posh bob', right? Well, circa 20 years later and the fashion and beauty mogul has now revived her iconic hairstyle with a chin-length iteration for the summer season. Nostalgia at its finest.
Victoria debuted the new look in question just short of 24 hours ago on Instagram. While undergoing a glam hair and makeup sesh, she said in a video Story: "So I'm loving my new hair clips. Ken, do you like the new hair clips?" To which Victoria's hairstylist, Ken Paves, replies: "I want them."
Now, as much as we, too, love her hair clips, what had us doing a double-take was the short bob refresh. It's not been this short for years!
For context on just how much hair Victoria has had cut off, take a look at the snap below from May 2025, which showcases its length before.
Victoria's new pob (also known as the a-line bob) is defined by its polished, angular lines. It's a classic bob but with a twist: business in the back, power play in the front!
And just like Pamela Anderson's new textured cut (debuted earlier today on the cover of Harper's Bazaar), we predict that its soft, wavy style is going to be big for summer 2025. Humidity hair? We don't know her... Because we're embracing the frizz bb!
Wavy hair types work great with bobs that are designed to be worn with movement; so, anything with flicks, flips,or texture is ideal.
You heard it here first, folks. VB, we're coming for your look!
