Would You Try an Asymmetrical Bob Like Rihanna and Kellie?

05/23/2007 at 01:00 PM ET

Blame it on Victoria Beckham — every since she razored off her hair, we’ve been seeing more and more stars crop their locks in asymmetrical bobs like hers (even husband David!). And they’re proving that you don’t need Posh’s bone structure to pull it off. Rihanna and Kellie Pickler gave major jolts to their overall looks with their sleek styles. L.A. based celeb stylist Umberto Savone tells PEOPLE that “more and more women are coming in looking for it. The asymmetrical bob is a very good summer look if it’s cut right.” But a word to the wise — show your stylist some photos to make sure you’re getting the look you want, and not a Flock of Seagulls redux. Tell us: Is this a look you would try? Would you wear an asymmetrical bob?

Benn there done that, but undercut so it’s more managable. It’s disappointing to read that so many people are afraid to experiment with their hair. I mean really, it’s just hair. It grows back!

Hey! okay…i really love the bobs. i mean, they are such a cute look! especially now that summer is coming up! they are very classy and sweet

I think it’s hot but as it grows out it gets real old. I wore my hair like this for many years. I got the look from TLC (the group) back in the mid 90′s. I didn’t care what other people thought because it made me feel hot. You have to have a REALLY GOOD hair dresser to rock this syle. Kudos to Rihanna…I’m not sure about Kelli.

I’ve actually had a asymmetrical hairstyle before and it looked pretty cool for a while…until it grew out and having to style it a certain way everyday gets boring, so it does look good at the beginning, its pretty funky, but you can’t do much else with it except keep it straight if its a bob like that

THIS HAIR STYLE IS LIKE POSH’S MUSICAL TALENT… EVERY TIME YOU SEE IT U JUST WANT TO CLOSE YOUR EYE AND WISH IT AWAY! JENNY HAS A GORGEOUS FACE & PERSONALITY, IT WOULD BE HARD TO FIND ANY HAIR STYLE TO MESS THAT UP BUT NOT MANY CAN PULL THIS SILLY LITTLE CUT OFF. BY THE WAY POSH…IN NO WAY LOOKING LIKE A 12 YEAR OLD BOY BOBBLE HEAD WITH A UP TIGHT FISH LIP EXPRESSION SEXY! YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO BE PRETTIER THAN YOUR MAN! PUT ON A SMILE AND FIRE YOUR HAIR DRESSER! PLZ STOP THE INSANITY AND NECK PAIN FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD HAVING TO VIEW THIS HAIR CUT LADIES!

I got one 2 weeks ago…from a bra strap length blonde to very short, layered assymmetrical bob. I hated at first, but it takes just 3 mins to look very polished (blond and naturally straight) and sophistocated. I love it now! I donated my hair to Locks of Love, btw.

it really depends on the exact cut..like rihannas is close in length on both sides but kellie’s are too much of a differnce

boobo on May 28th, 2007

i think rianah looks good but id never do it cuz everyone has different face shapes

maya on May 29th, 2007

i like it. it’s sleek & stylish, but it only looks nice on skinny people.
