Lily Collins is no stranger to experimenting with a new hairstyle and various lengths.
She’s leaned into a micro-fringe and sideswept bangs on more than one occasion, resembling a modern-day Audrey Hepburn. The actor has also opted for freshly chopped bobs, face-framing layers, an edgy shag, pretty pixies, and even a flapper girl-inspired S wave for the 2016 Vanity Fair Oscar Party.
Not forgetting the smorgasbord of French-girl styles—from perfectly coiffed waves and twisted updos to those self-cut “trauma bangs”—she has served up on the set of Emily in Paris.
But her most recent chop is just as worthy of praise and perfect for the summer heat. On Monday, June 24, Lily Collins teased that a hair transformation was in the pipeline, writing on Instagram, “Good(bye) hair day…” and posting a carousel of the front and back of her hair.

Her longtime hairstylist Gregory Russell confirmed the news, with the post “✂️✂️✂️ New snips for @lilyjcollins 🤍” and a picture of Lily with a new blunt, centre-parted bob.
We were treated to the full 360-degree view of her new crop when the star attended the world premiere of MaXXXine, held in Los Angeles that same day.
Lily stunned on the red carpet, having indeed swapped her long, layered hair for a sleek jaw-skimming bob. Not only that, but her previously light brown shade with finely spun honey highlights is now a deeper hue as she appears to be channelling this season’s trending hair color, charcoal brunette.
Worn in a deep side part, with the ends flicked under, Lily’s look featured a stand-out eye-grazing section of hair angled just above her cheekbone and flicked out in the opposite direction.
The finishing touch to Lily Collins’s red-carpet look—a sky blue Schiaparelli blazer and draped skirt—was her makeup: signature defined brows, taupe eye shadow, a soft dusting of honey blush, and a dark pink lip.
We (almost) stopped talking about the bob for one hot second when Julia Roberts debuted her honey lob, but the hairstyle is making headlines yet again as it poises to steal back its crown as summer’s most lust-worthy crop.
