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?

ok…..yes kellie looks horrible…it’s a bad cut…but for all u chickies that say the cut idea is bad you need to update yourself and maybe re-think your style..the cut is hot…fashionable….sassy and sexy….2007 baby…almost anyone could pull this off….

I love it!! I used to wear this cut about 4 years back and it’s the easiest hair to work with!! LOVE IT!

Asymmetrical bobs look like a mixture of hard liquor and poor haircutting skill. My cousin got one last year and after about the 10th person pointed out to her that her hair was lopsided she couldn’t stand it and got extensions to hide the asymmetrical headache as she called it, until it grew out.

I totally love this cut. If my hair wasn’t as short as Selma Blair’s, I would get it.

I actually have an asymetrical bob in honey blonde, had it for about a year now It started off short. Sort of like the kelis hair cut, now it’s very dramatic. I get alot of positive attention with it and some people just look at me like…WHY? I think you have to have the right face shape for it. I love it on rihanna… on kellie…not so much.

I am not a fan at all. It just looks like they’re trying to sport two different hairstyles. If you cover up half their face, then the other half, you’ll see what I mean if you can’t already. Still pretty and talented girls though!

I had this haircut long before these girls. I like asymmetry
