Sofia Boutella is the latest A-lister to embrace the bob, joining the ranks of Bella Hadid, Selena Gomez, and Cate Blanchett, who all parted with a few inches of hair recently. The Algerian actor attended Cartier’s new collection launch on Tuesday in New York City, sporting a brand new look. Gone were her chestnut, collarbone-skimming waves that had become her beauty signature. Instead, Boutella paired her black, Giamba gown with a brand-new chin-grazing cut that gave way to golden blonde highlights. Completing the look was her trademark, tapered fringe, which she styled neatly to one side. The Mummy actor tucked her hair behind her ears, further drawing attention to her bold brows and bronzed-out makeup.
The change-up is certainly transformative. While most opt to go darker and longer for Fall, Boutella’s lighter hair color and chop acts as her standout cool-girl calling card, ensuring all eyes are on her. Indeed, the star might just be the red carpet’s most exciting new face. She previously made international best-dressed lists during her first global press tour for The Mummy back in June, wearing Miu Miu, Valentino, and custom Prada. And with each head-turning outfitcomes an equally memorable new hairstyle. Whether she’s sporting her lengths in a sleek topknot, or flaunting kinked-out waves, Boutella isn’t afraid to take beauty risks, securing her place on the red carpet watch list the world over. We can’t wait to see what cutting-edge new look she debuts next.
