Gigi Hadid has served up another spring-ready hairstyle, in what appears to be her latest signature look: the flipped bob. Celebrity hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos debuted the effortlessly sleek style, which features a voluminous side-parting, up-ticked ends and the model's trademark blonde gloss, via Instagram yesterday. As avid fans of the bob haircut, it's safe to say that the ELLE UK beauty team is obsessed.

Hadid braved the chop last year, alongside actor Elle Fanning, sidelining her go-to long hair in favour of a chin-grazing new do. While her softly angular yet blunt Italian bob is incredibly trendy for spring this year, the bob haircut itself is an evergreen trend that's seen various interpretations in the past few years, from EmRata's vintage-inspired dark flapper bob and Emma Watson's textured chop to the jazzy 'party bob'.

We've seen Gigi with a bob before, in campaigns and throughout her many fashion months. Her last Miu Miu's campaign saw the 29-year-old supermodel adopt a sleek vintage 'do that we coined the 'new 60s bob'. A total departure from the off duty model attire we expect from the Hadid sisters, the playful style was delicate and feminine but not without the sophisticated high fashion notes we'd expect from a new season campaign.

She's also been known to take on the bob trend in an insouciant schoolgirl kind of way. Think sharper edges and easy layers; the kind we'd give ourselves back in sixth form with our BFF wielding some blunt scissors. The mum of one's hairstyle in the campaign perfectly juxtaposes the preppy knits and micro mini, and according to the photographer Steven Meisel, the look was inspired by American artist Margaret Keane who's known for her expressive paintings of large-eyed waifs.
