Zendaya paved the way for the newest It girl-approved hairstyle.&nbsp;

The <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/10-celeb-inspired-bob-hairstyles" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bob</a> has been celebrities' favorite <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/best-celebrity-hair-transformations-of-2023-shawn-mendes-brad-pitt-kardashian" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hair transformation</a> of 2024. And given that Gigi Hadid traded her long, luscious locks for a summery bob earlier this month, it seems safe to say that the bob will stay popular this year.&nbsp;
With textured <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/how-to-layer-clothes-fall-fashion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">layers</a>, the butterfly bob is the newest take on this look. Less structured than a traditional bob, the playful yet romantic butterfly version of this haircut features <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/medium-length-hairstyles-to-copy-this-summer-haircut" target="_blank" rel="noopener">heavy layers</a> with shorter pieces framing the face and the crown of the head. The name "butterfly" bob comes from these shorter layers which resemble butterfly wings.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/zendaya-best-red-carpet-beauty-makeup" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zendaya</a> premiered her new hairstyle at the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/red-carpet-beauty-trends-2023" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NAACP Image Awards</a> on February 25. She took to Instagram to show off her <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/at-home-blowout-best-products-hair-tools" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blowout</a>-inspired bob, and fans were ecstatic about her hair change. While many celebrities like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/nepo-baby-celebrity-response-nepotism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hailey Bieber</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/every-kardashian-family-business-kylie-cosmetics-skims-kkw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kourtney Kardashian</a> are experimenting with bobs, it's only a matter of time before many follow in the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/everything-we-know-euphoria-season-3-zendaya-plot-trailer-spoilers-cast-release-date" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Euphoria</a> star's footsteps with the layered, butterfly bob.&nbsp;

The newest It girl, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/jenna-ortega-facts-wednesday-addams-actress" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jenna Ortega</a>, sported something similar to the butterfly bob. Known for her signature <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/wolf-cut-hair-mullet-tiktok-trend-gen-z" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wolf cut</a>, the young star's hair has grown out into a bob that resembles the layered look. With short pieces at the top and longer layers towards the bottom, Ortega's version of the butterfly bob has more structure than Zendaya's.&nbsp;

Then there's the queen of the bob cut, Hailey Bieber. Though Bieber is partial to her signature blunt bob, she switched it up for her latest FILA campaign, where she sported the butterfly cut.&nbsp;

Bieber also donned a voluminous butterfly bob for a recent Victoria's Secret ad. Is it her new favorite hairstyle? We certainly hope she styles her hair this way more often!

Who says the butterfly bob is only for special occasions? With a casual, relaxed style and a model off-duty outfit, Laura Harrier proved otherwise.&nbsp;

Still, you can take the hairstyle from a casual day to evening glam. We're&nbsp;still obsessed with Laura Harrier's sultry look for the 2023 Academy Gala.&nbsp;

Among the many different hairstyles Selena Gomez donned for her recent&nbsp;Love On music video was her iteration of the butterfly bob (though it was a wig). Here, she gave the style a bit of a straighter twist, along with classic bangs.
