It may be a bob, but don’t expect to see Nicole Richie‘s new ‘do behind the wheel of a minivan anytime soon.

Richie took to Instagram to document her latest hair look — a just-above-the-shoulders crop — Tuesday afternoon, sharing a photo of herself mid-cut with the caption hinting at what the final result would be: “B.O.B.”

It appears that the star took off a few inches in addition to adding some cool, piecey layers. Now excuse us while we call our stylist to book a haircut.

Tell us: Do you prefer Richie with short or long hair?

New year, new look.

Jenny! on

I’d like to see that new look when it’s DONE, he’s still working on it and it needs to be styled!! But it’s looking nice so far.

Maria on

Wow, such a shocking transformation!!! She’s so brave for this look.

Kim on

Didn’t she wear weaves & extensions anyway. She’s just taking the fake hair out. Lol

Sammi on

Wow, big deal. It’s been that short before. You’re so dramatic, People.

Kitchy on

That’s not short. A few inches is now “chopping” off her hair?

Lisa on

By “chopped”, I was assuming that meant she CHOPPED it ALL off into a pixie cut or something. She’s worn her hair this short before. I’m not knockin’ it or anything, it’s cute, but it’s not as dramatic as the headline would have us believe.

kjls on

is Tebow cutting her hair?

nicole on

anyone else tired of these sensational headlines for no reason? The article ends up being a bummer. Kinda leaves a bad taste in the mouth, People.

Guest on

Next week she will be wearing long extensions.

holly on

Awesome! She’s had a bob before & it was my favorite look!

costateofmind on

She did this exact haircut not long ago. This isn’t new.

Shawn on

the majority of the time she wore weaves anyway..so did she cut it or did she just start wearing her own hair? I think she looks much better

Danielle on

Nicole ius a sweet girl, that looks good with any style, her beauty comes from inside……she has a beautiful soul.

Nannyto1 on

She’s beautiful either way. Change is always good.

The truth on

She’s cute either way! Love her!

Anna on

That’s “chopping” off hair? Moving on to more important news…

spencer on

NIce t shirt he is wearing:) LOL
She has a gorgeous face…she cold be bald and look good.

Smartie on

Who cares?

susan on

Who cares. She’s not the prettiest thing on this planet

Lacey on

This is not short hair !!!!

Alex Genie on

Oh please. That’s not short hair.

blair on

Beautiful!

librababe on

The most overdramatic headline of the year…

Austin Gal on

Why pick on people with minivans? Not all of us can live the glamorous life relegated to the children of pop stars.

lay86 on

It’s cute so far, at least she’s not bald :)

Smells Like Kardashian on

oh, Missy Nicole, those bags under your eyes….get some rest

trish on

her hair is not above the shoulders and i dont like how it is styled because it looks old fashioned. i think it would look great about 3 inches shorter and in a much newer looking do.

trish on

it would be better shorter..like 3 inches..

Catsyfoo on

Bob means bring on baby. She’s prego folks.

Kristie on

Oh, she finally took out her weave

Liz on

The hair is not “chopped ” ! The girl is getting a haircut…end of story. Lately your sensational headlines do not match the content of your stories. People…you are starting to sound like the Enquirer. You used to have more class. I’m switching to Us.

Carys on

Good for Nicole. Too many women want to have Barbie hair and they all look alike now.

sarah on

big deal and who cares!

Jesse on

Who is she and why are people talking about her?

julianna on

I’ve cut my hair the exact same length just two months ago. It’s very practical and beautiful!

Alayna on

Chops off her hair??? I was expecting to see a Miley or Anne Hathaway or Halle Berry look – this is just a shorter due…her hair is still long . Headline is definitely misleading.

Shenae on

Her stylist is wearing a shirt that says, “Pussy.” Classy.

NIkki on

I think she can really work the bob! it looks so good! :)

Hope on

I don’t see much difference.

Sammie on

Looks like when her haircut is finished, it will be healthy and fresh looking. There’s nothing worse than to see stars, or anyone for that matter, wear stringy,long fried and unhealthy hair. Sometimes shorter is better

looloo on

She is SUCH a pretty girl. Look at her , seriously !

monique on

She is probably glad to have all those extensions and weaves removed!

monique on

She i probably glad to have those extensions and weaves removed.

dudley doright on

i like the guys hair cut better + his tshirt is funny…her hair cut looks ordinary

Nancy on

I wouldn’t call it “short” but I would call this article DUMB.

Deb on

When she was a little girl, her hair was naturally long. I don’t focus on the hair as much as Nicole the total person. I am so proud of the way in which she appears to have turned her life around and wish her nothing but the absolute best!

MAZEY on

SHE’S A CUTE GAL…BUT CHOPPING MEANS ANNE HATHAWAY’S DOO….TRY AGAIN WHEN HER HAIR IS DONE…

Life goes on on

After its done maybe.

Rain on

Did she chop off her hair or take out her extensions? Puh lease!

southerngirl on

Why do they think we care that she is getting her hair cut. Who is she that this is newsworthy?

emily on

I want it! It looks really cute so far!

Jordan on

“shocking transformation”….lol….sorry, if she were to be getting a mohawk…THAT would constitute a “shocking transformation.” A simple BOB doesn’t fall under that category. But good lookin out…Lol

Laurie on

ummmm, who really cares?

oceanlady805 on

Why would someone choose to go from looking great to unkempt, dull and with stringy hair that looks like it needs to be washed?! She doe not look good.

oceanlady805 on

Why? Why would someone who usually looks great, choose to look unkempt, with dull stringy hair that looks in need of a wash? She does not look good.

Laura on

Oh, she looks gorgeous!

theonewithkatie on

All the people posting “who cares?” and “why is this news?” need to realize they’re on People Style Watch…
