For anybody whose autumnal hair inspiration might be slightly floundering, may we suggest you take your cues from Gigi Hadid, who made a strong case for a ‘razor’ bob while walking in Versace’s SS25 show at Milan Fashion Week. Her style was, of course, created by none other than hair heavyweight, Guido Palau.
Of course, the Guest in Residence founder, who just celebrated her daughter Khai’s fourth birthday with a Baby Yoda-themed party, is no stranger to a statement bob. In fact, she’s arguably cemented herself as one of the bob’s biggest proponents.

The virtues of a ‘razor bob’ cannot be understated. This is a hairstyle that requires few products – arguably the must-have product to use in the making of a ‘razor bob’ is Hershesons’ Almost Everything Cream which, as the name suggests, can help in the crafting of every haircut – and minimal styling.
It’s a hairstyle that needs simply a swipe of cream, a slick of some flat irons, a spritz of hairspray to tame any rogue flyaways and there you have it; a pristine, elegant haircut that telegraphs that you mean business.
By embracing ‘the chop’ too, you’ll join the legion of young Hollywood starlets who have also opted for bob hairstyles in recent months. Among them are Hailey Bieber’s coveted ‘boyfriend bob’ – not to mention the glossy, glazed cappuccino colour she’s sported of late – and Emily in Paris star Lily Collins, whose laissez faire, chin-length bob is the height of Parisienne-inspired sophistication. Whether you channel Hadid’s ultra-structured chin lengths or Bieber’s shaggier lazy-girl alternative, this autumn let a bob guide your way in the hair realm.
