It’s no secret that everyone is obsessed with bob hairstyles right now, and I’m definitely one of those people. I’m so obsessed in fact, that I’m seriously considering cutting off all my hair and going short for winter. I was on the phone to my mum the other day, filling her in about my plan to get the chop, and she replied that she would also like to try a bob, but that she wasn’t sure if she could pull it off at her age—her words, not mine! Well, this beauty editor happens to truly believe that age means nothing, especially when it comes to your hair. Whether you’re 5 or 50 years old, you can wear your hair however you want, and there should be absolutely no stopping you from trying out the latest trends—hair related or otherwise.
In order to convince my mum that she should give a bob hairstyle a go, I thought I would round up some of the chicest women I know who are over 50 and absolutely rocking their short hair. From Anna Wintour’s signature blunt cut to Helen Mirren’s wavy, textured bob, there are so many different ways to wear a bob, and after writing this, even I’m struggling to decide which one I love the most. So, without further ado, keep on scrolling to see some of the best bob haircuts on women over 50. Whilst you’re browsing, remember that age is just a number, and if you see a haircut that you like, then go for it!
