We’re Obsessed with Emily Ratajkowski’s Fresh Hazel Brown Lob

Emily Ratajkowski is the latest initiate into the celebrity lobs and bobs club. The 28-year-old model, who is famous for her drool-worthy long tresses, chopped her hair into a fresh lob Thursday night for Rihanna’s Clara Lionel Foundation Diamond Ball in New York City. But Ratajowski didn’t just stop at a lob—she went all-out and dyed her hair the prettiest hazel brown, too.

The “Gone Girl” star turned heads when she stepped onto the red carpet debuting a super-sleek, Anna Wintour-esque lob. The lob, which fell right at Ratajkowski’s shoulders and sported a major middle part, was colored with a warm hazel brown suited for autumn. Ratajkowski paired the look with a body-hugging vintage Chanel dress with a swooped neckline and gold buttons down the front.

The major hair change was the work of celebrity hairstylist Jennifer Yespez and colorist Aura, who collectively have worked on the heads of stars like Jessica Alba, Nina Dobrev, and Anna Paquin. Clearly, Ratajkowski is a fan, judging from the three photos she shared of her new ‘do last night so her fans could see her hair at all angles.

Though Ratajkowski has been a fan of faux hair changes like clip-on bangs and wigs, she’s rarely switched up her hair for real. In fact, in an interview with Allure, the model revealed that she hasn’t changed her hair since high school (!) and has never colored it, making her new hazel brown the first time she’s ever dyed her locks. But there’s an emotional reason behind her lack of hair changes. Like a lot of women, Ratajowski considered her long, boob-length hair a safety net.

“My hair has been this way since high school….It’s down to my boobs…. I’ve never colored it,” she told Allure. “It hasn’t failed me. I did do a fake bob at the Golden Globes—I like faking having shorter hair. My mom has shorter hair, and I always thought it looked so good on her. But after one night of trying it out, I was so over it by the end. I was like, I’m good. I need long hair.”
