Selena Gomez Proves the Flipped-Out Bob Is the Best Way to Grow Out Short Hair

In mid-March, the Wizards of Waverly Place star proved that all it takes to keep a bob looking fresh at any length is volume and bounce. First, she went for a bit of a Mad Men look in Austin for South by Southwest (SXSW), appearing on a panel in a flouncy red dress, sheer black tights, and a black jacket. Much like her AFI look, Gomez’s hair was styled in a chic, bouncy lob, with the millennial side part that many celebs are keen on reviving.

Around the same time, she gave the look a bit more va-va-voom with a sleeker blow-out and 2010s-inspired side bangs for boyfriend Benny Blanco‘s birthday. Earlier this week, Gomez’s bestie Nicola Peltz Beckham shared multiple photos of Gomez’s red fur coat (somebody please do a wellness check on Clifford).
