Scarlett Johansson Debuts Tousled Bob: Love It or Hate It?

Fame

It looks like Nicole Richie‘s not the only A-lister loving the tousled bob. Fellow blonde bombshell Scarlett Johansson turned heads last night when she stepped out at the Mango Fashion Awards rocking the same sexy style. The actress, who debuted her bobbed do three months ago with a bed-head take on the cut, has evolved the look into a shorter, sleeker, more coiffed style, with slightly sculpted waves and turned-up tips. We love seeing Hollywood give the classic bob a screen-siren makeover, but what do you think of this style? Tell us: Do you love Scarlett’s hair or wish she’d try do something else entirely?

For once I love it!!! So brave, Scarlett!

Gina on

I love it! She looks great all of the time!

Jessica on

Oh my god I absolutely love it!!!!!!! It’s about time she tried something different and she looks so chic and trendy at the same time!

Crystal on

I absolutely love this cut on her. Never pegged Scarlett has the short hair type, and I just love it. It’s not so serious like her long hair do’s were.

gossipgirl88 on

I’m not really loving it. She’s kinda a bigger girl, and short hair makes big girl’s heads look too small for their body I feel. Let’s see a full body shot. I could be wrong, but I doubt it. Victoria Beckham is one of the few people who can pull it off. I’m a little bigger than average- 5’4″, 109, and I tried a haircut like this and it looked ridiculous.

Sarah on

How can you call her a “bigger girl”??? Also I wouldn’t exactly call 5’4″ and 109lbs “above average” I am above average… 5’10″ 170lbs. Quit hating- her hair looks fab!!

Mags on

Hate it, doesnt suit her face at all

S on

It doesn’t look very good – kind of like a homeless person. Whoever chopped it must have been drinking.

Cindy on

Love the hair, hate the makeup. She doesn’t look as healthy as she should.

rachel lynn on

all i can think of is victoria beckham

Jade on

I usually like Scarlett Johansson and her style but I think she made a mistake with this new hair style.

I absolutely despise it. I don’t get why women want to chop their long beautiful hair off?! It looks like someone just took some scissors and chopped away not paying attention to what they’re doing. Scarlet Johansen USE to be sexy and beautiful.. this cut makes her plain.

ana on

who ever said shes a bigger girl omg she is not even big but i really dont like her hair!

shannon on

my goodness, gossipgirl88 get over yourself. 5’4 and 109 is not big. stop reading model mags and enjoy who you are. i was always a tiny, skinny girl until 27ish..and sometimes you never realized how good you had it until you really start gaining weight! p.s.- i don’t really love the haircut..it reminds me of morning bedhead. Scarlett is a beautiful girl no matter what, but she looked nice before.

Kim Lorton on

Hair grows back! I think it looks fantastic, and we women love to come out and look different once in a while… it kind of changes your view on the world as people say, wow, that took guts, but it looks great! you start a kind of fad. Scarlett is known for her long locks, and this looks versatile and fun! I love it!

CherylD on

LUV IT! LUV IT!! Scarlett has the sex appeal to pull it off. Also has the head (hair parted down the middle), and facial features (eyes pop with or without makeup), to pull off this new style. I would like to know what Ryan’s reaction was when he first saw it.

Chan on

It would be a super cute hair cut if it wasn’t so flat on her head. A little volume and it would look great!

magpie on

she looks adorable!! everyone needs to stop hating, the girl looks fantastic.

Jackie on

Bigger girl are you crazy?? She is thin.
But I dont like this hair cut on anyone. I am a fan of the bob cut but not this particular one.

J on

SJ could make the female ‘bald’ look be fashionable and sexy! Just keep those sexy lips and you’ll have my heart forever. Sigh!

Kim on

I like the back, but am not a big fan of the undone, uneven look of the front. It looks a bit like a ten year old went after her with a pair of shears and then she hasn’t bothered washing or combing it for a week.

jamiej on

Totally LOVE it!! Bravo… you look amazing!!

Mary on

She looks like Victoria Beckham, so I am not liking it. SHe went from beautiful to pretty.

Mary on

Looks like Davids wife . She went from Beautiful to pretty.

angie on

not loving it. Looks like someone took a week wacker too it. Makeup is kinda extreme. usually she is very trendy, this is not a hit for her.

Simone on

It looks a little disheveled

S.E. on

Possibly the ugliest haircut she could have chosen. I think she looks prettiest with longer waves. What a shame.

Marcy on

Short hair is awesome when it’s technically cut well. This one was not!

fan on

Omg she can pull it off! she looks amazeing luckey ryan!!

Vera on

Love Scarlett,but this is the Ugliest haircut I’ve seen yet,does not flatter her at all!! Believe me,she’ll be growing her hair back again or you’ll be seeing her in extensions soon!

Jennifer on

her face is so beautiful to notice her hair, I mean she could shave her head and still be beautiful!!

Amanda on

Love it!!

Jon on

I like Scarlett’s new hair and both Photos! Taylor Momsen did go too far by flashing her Breasts! Wow, Rooney Mara’s Transformation into Lisbeth Salander was interesting, I liked The PHOTO! I’m glad Social Network Star, Armie Hammer, has his wife to keep him grounded!

Elizabeth on

I’m so sorry, but this cut doesn’t look like it was done by a trained stylist. It reminds me of what happened when my 3 year old got ahold of scissors. She’s still beautiful, but the cut is not so great.

M Pamela on

Looks great! Did she donate her long locks to the foundation Locks of Love? Hope her hair didn’t go a-waste!

Zoe on

I hate it. If you have wavy/curly hair a bob is not the way to go. :)

ACC on

Very Victoria Beckham!

Cassie on

LOVE the hair! Cool edgy style, would definetly go for it if I wanted a shorter style!

lacey on

i love it. totally makes her look awesome. still as beautiful as ever but with a stylish new hair cut. i wish she would have gotten this look a long time ago. her face shape goes perfectly with the hair. im going to stop typing now so let me type this one last thing, Scarlett Johansson looks amazing. love the new look. ==l :)- (abraham lincoln)

what the? on

Not feelin’ it.

Stephanie on

Sarah you need to find out “what’s eating you”. She is not a bigger girl! Get a life already. She looks great. You can’t mess her up!

Amy on

I like it on her but I can’t say I’d want it for myself.

amsjll on

Hey gossipgirl88? I just checked your BMI. You are very close to being considered underweight, as in eat a sandwich. Putting one in your mouth will help you stop talking. Its people like you who make me scared to be raising two daughters in a society where those considered the most beautiful are almost always clinically underweight. Thats unhealthy and hey People mag? You arent helping, putting women who starve themselves daily on your covers.

1 in 200 girls has some level of anorexia and around 20% will die from it. Scarlett is truly beautiful and one of the few who is actually a healthy body type role model.

Oh and I dont like her hair but hair grows back, have fun with it!

k on

I’ve been a Hairdresser for 40 years and it’s great to finally see a Bob done differently!!!It’s s0000 distressing how very long hairstyles stick around,and it’s NOT always the fault of the stylists——we all seem to want to CLING to the familiar!!! Bravo,I love it!

dbanana on

just absolutely LoVe it!!! great cut for scarlett’s shaped face. rock on girl!

jen on

Shes beautiful…she can rock any haircut!!!

Rachael on

To gossipgirl88, I completely agree with Sarah. Sorry, but if you think that she’s a “bigger girl”, then you must need new glasses. Scarlett Johanssen is skinny! And being 5’4″ and 109 lbs. is NOT above average! I’m 5’5″ and weigh more than 109 lbs, and I would not consider myself “above average”. As a former cosmetology student, I feel that that hair style looks fabulous on her! It shapes her face perfectly and looks edgy and unique. :)

Tamara on

I love Scarlett and I think she’d look gorgeous bald, but I don’t think this cut does a lot for her face. While I’m all for trying new hairstyles and being adventurous, I find longer hair on her is far more flatteringg and sophisticated.

Debbie on

Hate it! Long hair looks better on a big girl!

teresa on

wickedly unflattering…too bad someone talked her into doing this to herself.

elsa caceres on

she needs it straight…it looks bad now
but it does suit her

vicky on

She looks super sexy with this cut! So sick of the long wavy hair….EVERYONE in hollywood has it.

Emma V. on

I really don’t like it. it looks thin and like she is losing hair. i am also not really in love with short hair on girls. there is a reason, but shoulder length is about as short as i like it… sorry.

Mary T. on

So Classy -
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!

Carolyn on

YIKES! NOT BRAVE BUT BLIND. FRIGHTENING.

ann on

When you part your hair down the middle it draws more attention to your nose which is aligned with the part…not smart…should make a slight off center part.

Niki on

Posh Spice already did it.

dede on

Love it…very hip edgy

Sarah on

@gossipgirl88,
You are ridiculous. She is a size 6! That is hardly “big.” Average size for a woman is between an 8-12. I’m 5’8” and weight 155 and I’m concidered below weight for my height. To top it off I have a similar hair cut to this and I get quite a few compliments on it. It has nothing to do with your body shape. It’s all about your face shape. You need to get a clue and think before you post…

MissLady on

I love the look but in a couple of months these stars that cut their hair just put hair extensions in and go back to the same look they had before. Hopefully she will maintain this look.

Mary on

Scarlett is such a beautiful women..she can make anything work..I think it was a brave choice to make.and it actually worked!!

I must convey my love for your kindness supporting people that absolutely need guidance on this one topic. Your real dedication to getting the solution around was pretty helpful and has in most cases helped girls just like me to attain their goals. Your own invaluable suggestions can mean this much to me and especially to my office workers. Thanks a lot; from each one of us.
