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?

Thirty years ago when the wedge came out on Dorothy Hammel..I was working as a receptionist in a hair salon. They wanted to give me the new cut “The Beret”. It was a cut like Kellie Pickler has. I was dating a VP of IBM who drove a Porsche. He was an ex Dallas Cowboy and gorgeous. He came to pick me up on his birthday, I had a really nice pocket watch for him. He took one look at me with this haircut….and I never saw him again. I was heart broken. I did get over him, but never the hair trauma.

If you’ve got a pretty face this cut looks good. A long neck helps. If you’re a cow and ugly, oh well, it must suck being you.

I would wear it. However, I don’t think I could pull it off. I really like it though!

Symetrical facial features, then this cut works.

I like this style, but it definitely depends on the skill of the hairstylist, your face shape, and the texture of your hair. I like Rhianna’s better; Kellie’s looks lopsided, like it’s long on one side, and short on the other. I can’t wear it because I sweat out any hairstyle I get, and with it being the summer? Forget it. I can see this style being worn in the fall/winter for me.

I like the cut but you gotta have the right forehead…on Rihanna it just accentuates her large forehead, bangs are a better way to go

I think that anything can be done, as long as it’s done right. This look has been done wrong so many times, and that is why so many people are negative towards it. We don’t want to recognize when someone does it right. There is not such thing as limitations in the world of fashion. I sported a bob for about a year… and yes, it is one of those novelty hair cuts, I did it, I loved it, and I moved on to other things. This is a look that really has to be owned, as with any look… Confidence is key. I really love it on Mrs. Beckham especially, but anything that woman does will look great on her.
