The Celebrity Hairstyle of 2014 is the Bob — Yup, We're Already Saying It

We’re only weeks into the new year, but as far as celebrity beauty goes, it’s becoming increasingly clear than 2014 will be the year of the bob. Countless stars have chopped off their hair over the last several weeks — the most recent being American Horror Story star Sarah Paulson, who debuted her bob haircut cut at Saturday’s SAG Awards. Soft or blunt, long or short, the bob is the look to wear in Hollywood this year, and these 10 stars are showing everyone how to do it the right way.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen funny lady Kristen Wiig with a bob cut, but the new look — which she debuted at The Spoils of Babylon premiere in Los Angeles — is the shortest (and darkest) we’ve seen her hair in a long time.
