The time when waist-length long hair was the go-to hairdo for passing as a super hot A-lister is officially over. These days if you want to stand out on the red carpet and stay in the in-crowd, it's all about short hair styles.

Between Zoe Kravitz''s badass pixie crop, Kaia Gerber's lust-worthy bob, Charlize Theron's blonde bowl cut, and lobs all over the place, short hair styles are the 'do du jour.

'Short hair is continuing its roll with bobs being more square shaped and jagged (meaning the base is cut into and not wispy so it still looks sharp)', says celeb hairstylist Paul Edmonds. 'I’ve had a lot more clients taking the plunge and going really short at the back, almost manly. I think the looks by Charlize Theron, Kristen Stewart and Emma Thompson are a winner at the moment.'
