Gabrielle Union Debuted an Asymmetrical ’90s Bob for Winter

Do you keep in mind, again earlier than Pinterest, when hair salons had magazines stuffed with types you can have a look at for inspiration? You’d convey the heavy pages to your stylist, level on the third gal in row 4 or no matter, and say “I would like that one.” If you left the salon, you would possibly look one thing just like the particular person within the picture. However then, except you have been nice at styling, you’d by no means see the resemblance once more—particularly if it was a bob you have been after.

Clearly, this can be a drawback celebrities have by no means needed to cope with. They have been the inspiration for these magazines, and their glam groups are at all times readily available to ensure the styling part of a lower is not an issue. Take Gabrielle Union, for instance. On Tuesday, she attended Schiaparelli’s high fashion spring-summer 2025 present in Paris carrying her hair in an asymmetrical bob that would very simply give a novice quick hair wearer some issues.

Union, although? She seemed excellent. These ’90s Bob Journal editors (can we get a “the place are they now” on them, please?) would’ve liked it.

Gabrielle Union’s ’90s Bob

Facet parted and layered, the 52-year-old’s hair was so very Posh Spice, dusting the realm round her proper ear on one aspect of her head whereas concurrently falling gracefully over the left aspect of her face.

The quick type (we might classify it as a bixie lower, too) was the work of Larry Sims, who humbly referred to as the brand new look a “Chop Chop In Paris” in an Instagram caption. In the identical submit, he referred to Union as his “predominant muse,” which I am positive loads of individuals would agree with.

Every week in the past, Union posted her personal Instagram carousel displaying off a head of lengthy waves. So sure, no matter hair chameleon standing, this can be a large change up for her. She must be attending at the very least a pair extra reveals throughout Haute Couture week, so it’s going to be enjoyable to see how Sims types it subsequent.

To complete off the look and set that stunning bob up for much more success, stylist Thomas Christos Kikis put Union in a black Schiaparelli robe with mesh panels. Make-up artist Ngozi Edeme gave her fairy mud eyeshadow whereas a nude manicure amplified the curated simplicity of her Schiaparelli bracelets and diamond ring.

I am actually not courageous sufficient to aim this lower with out Sims close by, however I will be taking eyeshadow inspiration away with me. And the subsequent time you have a possibility for a “chop chop in Paris?” Simply take it. You may determine tomorrow’s styling later.
