Victoria Beckham has sported long wavy strands for as long as we can remember, so fans were taken aback this week when the icon took to Instagram to debut a new mid-length bob. Posting a family photo with the Beckham crew while in Las Vegas, the chop certainly suits VB, serving as the ultimate style refresh. We’re calling it now—this look is about to be everywhere this autumn. If you’re thinking about updating your vibe, this effortlessly cool cut is the way to go.
Why the new look?
Victoria’s decision to rock this chic mid-bob, referred to in the hairdressing world as a ‘lob’ (AKA, long bob), is no shocker—it’s a smart, stylish move that matches her polished yet edgy aesthetic and a nod to her Spice Girls days. This cut is all about easy-going glam, giving you a look that’s low maintenance but still super on point.
Victoria’s new medium-bob haircut solidifies hairdressers’ fascination with nineties haircuts.
Who should go for it?
The best thing about the mid-length bob is how universally flattering it is. This cut can be tweaked to highlight your best features, whether your face shape is oval, heart, or square. For those with finer hair, it adds some much-needed body and bounce, while thicker hair gets a stylish shape-up with a few strategic layers. It’s a cut that suits everyone, making it perfect for anyone wanting to stay ahead of the curve.
The next big thing?
The mid-bob is set to be the go-to hairstyle of the season. It hits the sweet spot between the sharpness of a classic bob and the laid-back feel of longer hair. And with VB—queen of style herself—leading the charge, we’re predicting a tidal wave of ‘lobs’ this autumn. It’s versatile enough to go from casual to glam in minutes, making it a must-have for your hair repertoire.
How to style it
The mid-bob gives tonnes of styling options according to Joel Goncalves, Senior Stylist at Nicola Clarke x John Frieda salons. “For that sleek, polished finish, blow-dry it straight using a round brush to add volume and shine. If you’re feeling more laid-back, soft waves with a curling wand or flat iron will give you that effortlessly cool, tousled look—just spritz on some texturizing spray for an extra vibe. In a rush? Tuck one side behind your ear for an easy yet chic style, straight out of Victoria’s playbook.”
Final takeaway
Posh’s mid-bob isn’t just another haircut—it’s a whole mood. Whether you’re looking to jump on the latest trend or just want a fresh, cool back-to-school vibe, this is the cut that combines confidence, modernity, and effortless style.
