Olivia Munn Gets A Lob! – Plus More Stunning Celebrity Haircuts In 2016

Looking to change up your ‘do? Check out these stunning hair transformations from your favourite celebs who took the plunge

by Elizabeth Liew  /   December 21, 2016

Getting a haircut can be daunting, especially when you’re not sure what you want. While you don’t have to cut it super short like Gina Rodriguez or Sara Ramirez, a fresh new hairstyle instead of the same old trim can take years off your look and show off a new side of your personality. This season, it’s all about taking a few inches off and getting a trendy, wavy lob (or wob) – see Olivia Munn, Olivia Wilde and Kathy Chow!

The 32-year-old actress debuted a fresh lob, aka the “It” haircut of 2016 – after taking some inches off her long hair…

…and it looks so much lighter and fresher!

2. Olivia Munn (BEFORE)

Olivia’s hairstylist Christopher Wood took 12 inches off her enviable long tresses…

2. Olivia Munn (AFTER)

…and the result is simply gorgeous! (Also: it’s a lob. Of course.) The choppy layers are a refreshing change to her previous look, but we’re glad she kept her beautiful dark hair.

3. Park Shin-hye (BEFORE)

The K-drama actress is ending the year with a revamped look…

We’ll miss the Pretty Little Liars starlet’s pumpkin spice-coloured hair…

6. Diane Kruger (BEFORE)
image

The glamorous yet reserved actress typically wears her blonde side-swept hair in the “safe mid-length zone”, so it was a (pleasant) surprise when she showed off a new ‘do in October…

Photo: @dianekruger/Instagram
6. Diane Kruger (AFTER)
image

…a shoulder-grazing lob that oozes understated sexy. The 40-year-old actress cut her hair for her role in a German drama, Aus dem Nichts.

7. Kelly Rowland (BEFORE)

While we love the singer-songwriter’s enviable voluminous locks…

You’d never guess that this Hong Kong screen goddess is hitting the big 5-0…

8. Kathy Chow (AFTER)
image

…especially not with this stunning lob haircut! Vampire genes, am I right?

9. America Ferrera (BEFORE)
image

If there’s one person who can make America great again…

9. America Ferrera (AFTER)
image

…it’s America herself – well, and her stylist. The Ugly Betty actress showed off a dramatic new length and colour (blonde definitely works on her) as well as the hashtag she trended on Twitter: #MakeAmericaFerreraAgain.

In celebration of the fifth season of her show The Mindy Project, the writer and actress went for a haircut…

10. Mindy Kaling (AFTER)

…and looks sharp and sexy in a long bob that compliments her face shape.

11. Celine Dion (BEFORE)
image

The songstress usually wears her hair long and wavy, such as this hairstyle when she was on The Tonight Show…

11. Celine Dion (AFTER)

12. Amanda Seyfried (BEFORE)
image

The actress is known for having gorgeous blonde hair…

Photo: @mingey/Instagram
12. Amanda Seyfried (AFTER)
image

…but she recently swapped her golden locks for a short, red bob with bangs. It’s possibly a wig for an upcoming movie she’s currently filming, but we love it anyway! (We also adore the fact that her dogs are so heavily featured on her Instagram page, too!)

Photo: @mingey/Instagram
13. Vanessa Hudgens (BEFORE)
image

She rocks her voluminous and natural curls well, but the 27-year-old actress and singer knows when it’s time for a change…

Photo: @vanessahudgens/Instagram
13. Vanessa Hudgens (AFTER)
image

…with a short, wavy hairstyle featuring bronze highlights!

14. Sara Ramirez (BEFORE)
image

We’ve seen her play one of the most beloved characters on Grey’s Anatomy, and her long wavy hair has been a staple on the show for quite some time. So consider us surprised when she went for the cut…

Photo: @therealsararamirez/Instagram
14. Sara Ramirez (AFTER)
image

…but we think the buzzcut suits her, and makes her look so much tougher!

Photo: @therealsararamirez/Instagram
15. Felicia Chin (BEFORE)
image

This talented local celeb (pictured here with veteran actress Xiang Yun) lopped off her past-the-shoulder-length locks…

15. Felicia Chin (AFTER)

19. Kim Kardashian (BEFORE)

Yes, the Kardashians are notorious for changing up their hair every other day or so, but we love what Kim K’s done with her wavy long lengths…

Photo: @kimkardashian/Instagram
19. Kim Kardashian (AFTER)
image

… although this shorter, sleek lob is actually a wig!

20. Cara Delevingne (BEFORE)
image

The model-actress also went for the chop recently…

Photo: @CaraDelevingne/Instagram
20. Cara Delevingne (AFTER)
image

…and, naturally, got a trendy new tousled lob which is the IT look of the season.

21. Gina Rodriguez (BEFORE)
image

The Jane The Virgin star recently chopped off her signature long, flowing locks…

Photo: @hereisgina/Instagram
21. Gina Rodriguez (AFTER)
image

…for a bold new ‘do with buzzed sides.

She actually cut her hair twice, the first time in the name of charity (she donated her hair to Locks of Love) and the second, much shorter cut for a movie role.

Speaking out on Instagram, she says:

“I cut my hair for a film and there is nothing more freeing then realizing your beauty exists from within. I am not my hair. I am not my weight. I am not my skin color. I am love, I want to be love with every interaction, with every decision I make for myself, with every failure and success. You should try it. I dare you. Let go of what you think would make you more beautiful and discover you have all you need already inside.”

Power to you, Gina!

25. Khloe Kardashian (BEFORE)

The Kardashian sisters have always been known for their beautiful, long and straight hair (extensions or not), but Khloe has changed it up lately…
