Selena Gomez debuts a new super short bob hairstyle - & it looks INCREDIBLE
It seems everyone's going shorter with their hair at the moment. While yesterday we reported that Cara Delevingne had shaved her head for a role, a number of other stars have opted for pixie cuts, bobs and shoulder-length locks as of late. And now Selena Gomez appears to have followed the trend.
Debuting a shock new look on her Instagram page, Selena appears to have cut her long hair into a seriously chic short chin-length style.
Her new bob has left many wondering if Selena has actually gone for the chop or whether this new look is more of a 'faux-bob' or even just some clever photo trickery.
To us, the new cut looks pretty legit, but who knows. Wigs are crazy popular with the A-list at the moment, with Gigi rocking a pink one for her 22nd birthday celebrations and Kylie Jenner with a seemingly endless supply of them.
The photo racked up over a million likes in an hour, but I guess we'll have to see if this cut is for keepsies seeing as Selena mysteriously left her photo caption-less.
One thing we couldn't help noticing is that her photo looked kinda similar to one Kylie Jenner posted two weeks ago. Hmmm...

Cute as a button, a 14-year-old Selena Gomez hits her first red carpet after signing on to star in Disney’s Wizards of Waverley Place. The movie drew the world’s press to compare her to Miley Cyrus but, with her simple, glossy hair and barely-there make-up – just a slick of nude gloss, in fact – we don't think there was anyone comparable to the star.

Still wearing her raven locks long and straight, Selena adds a choppy fringe to her tresses. This girl looks good however she wears her hair, but we prefer her with soft, natural waves.

Wow! Could Selena look any more grown-up and glamorous? This ‘undone’ side bun, with loosely curled tendrils and sweeping fringe, is red carpet perfection, while the subtly-smoky eyes tick all the right beauty boxes.

The feline flicks with the liner are cute, as is the haphazard up-do. We love Selena's glossy nude pout, too.

Ummm… wow? Selena had often expressed her desire to try out different hair hues before she stepped out with this shock-tastic platinum look in 2009. However, we can confirm – in case you were in any doubt – that it is a WIG. A favourite wig of Selena’s, no less. The starlet sported it out a few times that year, even using it in photo-shoots and dedicating a song to it - As A Blonde – on her debut album Kiss & Tell.

Simple, yet effective: every fashionista worth her style salt knows that subtly-smoky eyes and pillar-box red lips is the fast-track route to ‘glam’, and so Selena adopted this fail-safe formula for the premiere of Ramona and Beezus, her big screen debut.

Pulling out all the style stops for the premiere of then-beau, Justin Bieber’s pop-umentary Never Say Never, in LA, Selena rocked these corkscrew curls. Note the twisted-in chocolate-brown streaks? We approve. And we approve of the shimmering lilac eyeshadow and pop of lavender on the lips, too.
