The hairstyle isn’t your classic bob, being closer to a long bob but reaching the shoulders, hence the name shob (‘shoulder’ and ‘bob’).

Selena Gomez wore her hair in a classic, sleek style with a middle part, bucking the popular Italian bob trend which often sees a side part used to create volume. She wore her naturally curly hair straight and added plenty of shine spray for a silky finish

The singer also tucked her hair behind her ears, potentially with small bobby pins, allowing her huge sparkling earrings to take centre stage. In the evening she also paired the shob with several different outfits.

From a silver floor-length dress to a purple floral dress and a turtleneck mini dress with a zebra floral print, is there any outfit Selena can’t pull off?

One thing that remained constant, though, was her sleek hair, proving exactly how versatile the hairstyle is. It literally goes with everything, making the shob the perfect hairstyle for autumn (yes, even under hats!).
