Everyone is now jumping onto the classic bob haircut. The short style is even inundating the Hearst UK office... everywhere I look, bob. But that goes beyond our Leicester Square HQ with celebrities from all over the globe rocking the cut, too. And today, we've welcomed a hair legend into the brigade; it's none other than Miss Kelly Rowland. I mean, if anyone knows how to rock the cut, it's a Destiny's Child alum.

Now, as chic as the cut is, this isn't the first time we've seen Kelly sport a short 'do. Back when Destiny's Child were first starting out, the singer's signature look came hand in hand with a pixie haircut. See a prime example of said hairstyle below with a picture from 2000, where Kelly and her girl group's attendance at the 42nd Annual GRAMMY Awards.
