Bobs are the celebrity-approved It haircut of the year.

If there is one thing that has been clear in 2023, it's that bob cuts are&nbsp;in. Of course, you could argue that the hairstyle is more a classic than a trend, as there's someone who's sporting a bob every season. But, this year, celebrities aren't just sporting the traditional, clean-cut bob hairstyle, numerous versions of bobs are being explored. So far, there's been the&nbsp;butterfly bob,&nbsp;Italian bob, box bob, blunt bob, shag bob, and braided bob, to name a few.
At the&nbsp;2023 Golden Globes, Jenna Ortega's signature&nbsp;wolf cut&nbsp;was transformed into a chopped lob, featuring curtain bangs and '60s-esque flipped ends. Both super edgy and glamorous, the hairstyle was the real winner of the red carpet, though her cutout nude&nbsp;Gucci&nbsp;gown certainly added to the whole look.
But perhaps there is no one who has embraced the year of the bob more than the one, the only,&nbsp;Zendaya. Any hairstyle Zendaya sports immediately goes viral &mdash; she is this generation's biggest It girl after all. While she's never been one to shy away from experimenting with various haircuts (be it a mullet, locs, box braids, cornrows, an afro, finger waves, and the list goes on), right now, she is clearly embracing shorter lengths.&nbsp;
Her bob takeover technically started in 2022, when posted a video on Instagram in December showing off her newly chopped hair. Taking place at the&nbsp;Euphoria&nbsp;reunion event in Los Angeles, she looked ever-chic with her "boyfriend bob", a style that resembles the traditional bob cut but has more bluntness to the ends.&nbsp;
At the 2023 NAACP Awards and&nbsp;SAG Awards, the&nbsp;Dune&nbsp;star unveiled a new style that remains one of her most well-known hairstyles to date &mdash;&nbsp;the butterfly bob. The curls are playful, romantic, a shorter version of the&nbsp;'70s shag&nbsp;and '90s bombshell blowout. Bobs are traditionally known to be straight and sleek &mdash; the butterfly bob proves otherwise as it's incredibly textured due to its various layers and is highly voluminous.&nbsp;
