If there was one anticipated Golden Globes look of 2025, it was Zendaya. And per her track record, she didn't disappoint, stepping out and stealing the celebrity spotlight with a 1920s-inspired Old Hollywood bob. Natch.
Giving Emma Stone's pixie haircut a run for its money, Zendaya took to the coveted GG Awards red carpet rocking a chin-grazing (aka, petite) bouffant bob... It's so smol š„¹! As shown in the below pap snap, the short length was styled in bouncy curls that hold volume for dayssss.
Sidenote: Z's face card never declines... *kerching*!
The actor's chosen hairstylist for the night, Coree Moreno used Bellami Silk Seam Clip-In extensions in shades of Chestnut Brown and Chocolate Brown to blend with her natural tresses while at the same time adding tonnes of body. He broke down the full details in a recent Instagram post.
Revealing that the bob was, in fact, all a hair illusion, Coree wrote: "Last looks. But make it vintage glamour #goldenglobes2025. Look breakdown- for this glam faux bob a generous amount of @nexxushaircare volume mousse was used, giving the hair a soft shine and hold. Using @ghd_northamerica blowdryer, brushes, and 1-inch iron. To refine this wave set. To achieve this look @bellamihair seamless clipins in colors #chestnut and #chocolate to get this perfect warm winter tone."
Who'd have thought it? A 'faux bob', ey?
Although this haircut is not an official chop, there's no denying that the short bob-length hairstyle was made for Zendaya. She is the blueprint!
