Hailee Steinfeld’s Daring New ‘Swing Bob’ Haircut Revealed
In a surprise move, actress Hailee Steinfeld took to Instagram last year to showcase her brand new haircut – a chic, chin-skimming bob that marked a significant departure from her signature long locks. According to an interview with Vogue, the star’s new hairstyle was crafted by none other than hairstylist and RŌZ haircare founder Mara Roszak, who worked her magic just as Steinfeld began filming her new horror movie, Sinners.
The historical supernatural horror film, set in 1930s Mississippi, sees Steinfeld star as an undead woman of the south, and her new haircut reflects the era’s aesthetics. Roszak, who had the honour of working with Steinfeld, revealed that the actress had always been a long-haired girl, making the chop a "really big change". "I was honoured to be asked to do it," Roszak tells Vogue. "We wanted it to work with the film’s period, but also work with Hailee’s off days."
So, what inspired Steinfeld’s new look? According to Roszak, the style was influenced by images of sophisticated women from the 1930s, as well as cinema’s golden age actors, including Lauren Bacall, who was known for her signature coiffed and wavy, clavicle-touching long bob. "We’re calling it a ‘swing bob,’" says Roszak. To achieve the look, Roszak and her team opted for a "S wave shape", which shortens the style by one to two inches. The team also trimmed subtle layers around Steinfeld’s face and cut her hair just above the collarbone.
The result is a hairstyle that is both classic and modern, perfect for Steinfeld’s new role. As Vogue reports, the "swing bob" is a nod to the glamour of old Hollywood, with a modern twist. Roszak explains that the team wanted to leave a little length to account for the style’s movement, creating a look that is both effortless and chic.
Steinfeld’s new haircut has sparked widespread interest among beauty enthusiasts, with many taking to social media to share their thoughts on the star’s bold new look. And it’s not hard to see why – the "swing bob" is a versatile style that can be dressed up or down, making it perfect for red carpet appearances or everyday life.
As Vogue notes, Steinfeld’s new hairstyle is a testament to her willingness to take risks and try new things. With her "swing bob" making waves in the beauty world, it’s clear that this talented young actress is here to stay.
