This week — sorry this hour — on... Bob Watch! Here to show all the bob converts that she's still in the game, bob regular Rose Byrne just returned to the bob squad. The actor has snipped her shaggy shoulder-length style back up to her jawline, but unlike her neat straight bobs of yesteryear, this time she's gone full va va voom, and Love Island producers take note because this is a bombshell.
The tousled bombshell bob is chic, sexy, and has endless volume - a perk of a shorter style. Bobs are often seen as girly and preppy, stylish, or androgynous (all are great), but Rose's new 'do is all the proof you need that short hair can be that classic pin-up type of sexy. Ooh er.
The transformation happened in two steps. Previously sporting a multi-tonal golden balayage in her mid-length hair, Rose was actually blonder than we ever clocked, and we're trying to pinpoint the exact moment she dyed her hair back to brown.

It's totally honey in late Autumn and then somewhere between October and late January, it went to this trending glossy multi-tonal liquid brunette that dominated the season.
And now, stylist Harry Josh has blessed Rose (and us) with these bouncy undone curls that frame her face so beautifully, especially with the flattering molton-brown-tone of her new colour.
Makeup artist, Hung Vanngo, paired the bombshell look with a sultry intense eye, but cleverly opted for browns instead of blacks to keep that soft haze, and finished with a rosy wash of colour to the lip and cheek.
So little time, so many bobs.
