Victoria Beckham brings back the long bob
The style icon has unveiled a more modern take on her ’90s Spice Girl signature
Victoria Beckham has always set trends, never followed them – whether it comes to fashion or beauty.
For the last few years, she’s almost exclusively stuck to a classic hair style: long and glossy, with loose waves to give her lengths some body and volume.
But the designer and entrepreneur has decided to switch up her usual style and revisit her Spice Girls archive, recently debuting a long bob that Posh Spice would be proud of – albeit a softer, more contemporary version of her once-signature sharp cut.
Posting on her Instagram page, the 50-year-old shared a sweet family photo from a recent trip to Las Vegas, which also revealed she’s trimmed her tresses to a shoulder-grazing long bob. The star paired her new style with a chic black bandeau jumpsuit, one which also would have fit her ’90s persona.
While Beckham’s new hair echos her Spice Girls days, she chose to style it slightly differently from her previous ’90s cut. While Posh Spice would have worn a sleek, straight bob, styled with some slight bounce to frame her face, Beckham’s new cut features a centre parting, a tousled finish and textured ends, giving an impression of effortlessness.
The long bob is proving to be particularly popular this season, with numerous celebrities choosing a fresh chop. Beckham has good company in the form of Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz, who have also opted to try the shoulder-grazing style.
