Out of all the bobs spotted on the Golden Globes 2025 red carpet, this 50s-inspired hairstyle was the award-worthy trend that dominated the evening. 


It’s officially the start of the 2025 awards season, and we already have a bob trend emerging as the winner of the Golden Globes red carpet. Beauty trends may come and go but the bob doesn’t seem to be dwindling in popularity according to these A-list celebrities. 

While Emma Stone stunned in a fresh pixie cut, it wasn’t the 90s that was being referenced; instead, Hollywood graced us with a 50s-inspired hair ’do. 

Taking inspiration from the Golden era and iconic stars like Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor and Grace Kelly, A-listers were seen sporting an array of chin-length styles donned with face-framing curved waves or voluminous curls.

No matter whether you’re after a subtle soft glam approach to a bob like Selena Gomez or you’re getting out the rollers and going full Marilyn like Zendaya, here are the best 50s-inspired bob haircuts we spotted on the Golden Globes red carpet 2025. 

Get ready for some serious glamour.
