Beyoncé debuted a stunning Marilyn Monroe-inspired curly bob at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards.
Leave it to Beyoncé to command attention without even trying at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards 2024. Queen Bey wasn’t in attendance just to support her mom, Tina Knowles, but she still managed to send waves with a brand-new hair moment. While Tina’s emotional acceptance speech brought Beyoncé to tears-proof that even the queen gets emotional – what we couldn’t take our eyes off was her larger-than-life bob. That bouncy, Marilyn Monroe-esque bob cut stopped our scroll.
Beyoncé’s been switching it up lately, but this new curly bob seems like her everything vibe these days. After a few weeks of teasing a sleek curved bob in platinum tones , she’s hung up the cowboy chic for something far more sophisticated. Beyoncé brought the Old Hollywood glamour at the event on October 8, styling a voluminous, curly bob that was side-parted and settled just above her shoulders. Everything from the style screamed Marilyn Monroe – in the best possible way. It’s obvious the Old Hollywood bob is having a major moment this season, with celebs like Sydney Sweeney and Sabrina Carpenter also jumping on the trend. But with Beyoncé’s take, we’re officially obsessed.
Beyoncé has a long history with blonde hair and bob cuts. Way back in her early Destiny’s Child days, she was known for rocking honey blonde locks that became part of her signature style. One of the most iconic moments comes from her era in “Crazy in Love,” where sun-kissed curls framed her face and gave her that cute yet elegant edge. While on tour more recently, Beyoncé has donned a sleek platinum bob – complete with a sharp, blunt shape that screams modern sophistication. She’s always pulled off the blonde hair like it’s her natural!
Now, let’s talk about the hairstyle we put Beyoncé in using our online tool. We conceptualized her with a medium-length, curly bob, in which warm caramel highlights are intertwined through the rich brunette base. The style gives exactly the right volume, with soft and cascading curls falling into an effortlessly chic shape. The side part adds a dramtic touch and accentuates her cheekbones.
Her skin tone looks really great with the warm tones in this color palette; it really makes her skin glow and gives her an extra oomph. This hairstyle may be a bit too simple for Beyoncé, but we would love to see her try it – it is a little different, natural, and playful.
Whether Beyoncé is rocking cowboy chic or Old Hollywood curls, one thing is sure: her style always raises the bar. With the versatility of these bob cuts alone, there is a wealth of trendy hairstyle possibilities. Want to play around with your own version of Queen Bey’s curls?
