Penelopé Cruz has undergone a number of hair transformations in the last few months – even more so than she has in the last five or so years! We’ve seen everything from an inverted flicky lob to a honey blonde mushroom bob and now, she’s branching off into international territory with the sharpest biker babe style cut we’ve ever seen. When in Paris…

Overnight [5 March, 2024], the actor stepped out in the city of love to attend the Chanel Womenswear Fall/Winter 2024 show as part of Paris Fashion Week. For the coveted event, Penelopé went above and beyond in both the fashion and beauty departments. But did we expect anything less? Spoiler: The answer is no, no we did not.

To accompany her biker-esque black leather set – which, of course, was designed by the fashion house themselves – the star stepped out with a fresh new bob haircut. Her once shoulder-length lob now seems to have had an inch or two chopped off of the ends to sit just below her jawline, and subsequently framing her face in all the right ways.

Not only that but her new haircut has also been styled pin-straight and razor-sharp.

As Penelopé perfectly demonstrates, blunt cuts make ones hair look healthier, stronger and thicker and more often than not, the style is worn straight to show off the accuracy of lines and sleekness of texture. Though, having said that, that does not mean you can’t wear a blunt cut in shorter beachy waves. ‘Tis a very versatile look, IMO.

As the French would say, très chic!
