Kendall Jenner’s Oscars “A-Line” Bob Is a Major Spring Hair Trend

published 3 March 2025

Bob haircuts have dominated the last few years and Kendall Jenner just proved that they're not going anywhere for spring either at last night's Oscars 2025 after party hosted by Vanity Fair. The model is considered a trailblazer when it comes to all-things style, so when she had her longer lengths chopped into a chic, chin-grazing hairstyle, you better believe the internet took note. And while you'll still see her sporting longer styles by way of wigs and extensions for photo shoots and runway appearances, when she's off the clock, she's remained very loyal to her crop.

While Jenner can usually be found with a her bob styled in loose waves, for her Oscars red carpet appearance, she showcased a whole new 2025 short hair trend—one I think has the potential to be spring's biggest.

Forgoing texture for a sleeker take, Jenner's bob was styled smooth at the roots, the centre part further cementing the clean silhouette. Then, from the point her hair reaches her ears, her ends begin to flick, creating a sleek, kicked-out shape, which we're coining the A-line bob.

Given Jenner's latest look, I have a feeling that the A-line bobs are going to take off in a meaningful way in the next few months, especially as so many of us are looking for ways to make our style feel fresh ahead of spring 2025. This trend can easily be re-created on any short hair length—simply smooth the hair then, when you reach the mid-lengths of your hair, begin to curve your the tool in a 45-degree motion to get that A-line shape at the ends.
