Gabrielle Union's hair is truly a shape-shifter. She frequently changes up her length and texture, because, honestly, she can — she looks amazing in literally every style. One look she always seems to come back to is a bob, and each time it seems to be a different length — sometimes quite short, other times reaching lob territory. And for her latest, it seems one length just wasn't enough.
Union attended London Fashion Week's Burberry show on Monday, February 19, wearing a sheer yet velvety, colorful, open-back dress — and we got to see her entire back because, unlike just a week ago, her hair isn't long enough to cover even an inch of it.
The actor and entrepreneur brought back a decidedly '90s look with this bob. On one side of the side-parted style, Union wore a barely chin-length section tucked behind her ear; on the other, we got a throwback with an angled shape that reached below the chin. The asymmetrical effect is a throwback to the decade when we first fell in love with Union, but the slight wave gives it a totally modern feel.
This isn't the first time Union has opted for an asymmetrical bob, though it's definitely one of the shortest. She came pretty close in 2022 when she wore a straightened version with a similar side part. And last September, she wore a lob so awesomely askew that one side dipped below her shoulder while the other hovered above.
Does anyone wear an asymmetrical bob as well as Gabrielle Union? Probably not. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't bring these photos to the salon as inspo for your next cut.
