The micro-bob, what is it? It’s the festive hairstyle and the new hair trend for this winter. But do you know who you’ve seen it on? On Lily Collins, also known as Emily in Emily in Paris.
For the promotion of season 5, the star and lead of the series showed up all smiles with a hairstyle that’s making waves: a macro-sexy micro-bob that has skyrocketed searches for this cut.
Perfect for the holidays, the micro-bob has the advantage of highlighting the shine of your hair, revealing your neck, and… also avoiding knots in your locks. If you want even more reasons, keep reading.
Reason #1: We Will See It Everywhere
And there’s a reason for that: the fifth season of the series Emily in Paris starts today. Let’s just say all fashionistas already have their eyes glued to the heroine’s hair looks.
It’s no coincidence that the series’ stylist, Marylin Fitousi, conceived this micro-bob. Besides being THE major hair trend for 2025-2026, it perfectly aligns with this new, more assertive and sophisticated aesthetic.
Associated with Italian style, the micro-bob evokes an assured femininity, chic without effort, blending Milanese flair with Parisian elegance. A short, neat, ultra-fashion cut that imposes a strong silhouette… and already promises to invade hair salons.
Reason #2: The Micro Bob is Festive
If the bob trend has often made a comeback in recent years, the micro-bob is perfectly suited for the holiday season and New Year. Its short and assertive cut pairs wonderfully with a short, dancing dress.
The micro-bob was also very trendy in the 1920s, worn with a Charleston dress, and then in the 1960s, where it embodied a modern and free spirit. Adopted by women in post-war periods, it symbolizes female liberation and the joy of living.
In short, it’s a bit of everything we need right now, don’t you think?
Reason #3: It Highlights the Face and Eyes
The eyes are the mirror of the soul… and to showcase your glow to the world, adopt the micro-bob.
With a short cut that naturally draws the eye, this hairstyle enhances the shape of your face and brings your eyes into the spotlight. The micro-bob reveals the features, structures the whole look, and immediately gives more presence.
It’s the perfect time to set aside the clean girl aesthetic and dare to try a more festive makeup: bolder, more intense eyes, perfect for the upcoming holidays. Pay special attention to your complexion and skin texture: to echo the shine of the hair, it should remain even, with a rosy blush that highlights the cheekbones.
It’s also a great time to get into contouring. The micro-bob tends to accentuate the features of the face, highlighting the roundness or bringing out the jawline. When mastered well, makeup allows you to take full advantage of this cut that puts the face in the foreground.
Reason #4: It Adapts to the Trendiest Styles
From the clean girl to the futuristic look, through the party girl, the micro-bob has the advantage of adapting to all styles and allowing for lovely eccentricities.
Ultra-sleek and perfectly structured, it embraces a minimalist and chic aesthetic. Textured, slightly tousled, or wet-look, it flirts with futuristic and avant-garde codes. And for the evenings, it becomes a real playground: jewel clips, graphic parting, shiny effects, or controlled volume, everything is allowed.
Reason #5: The Micro Bob is Easy to Maintain
Yes, we finish with the most pragmatic and logical reason: less hair, less knots. It’s as simple as that.
If long hair can be beautiful when well-maintained and cared for, it sometimes takes little to damage it in daily life.
By opting for the micro-bob, you naturally make detangling and maintenance easier. However, there’s no way to slack off on the regularity of cuts: to keep the structure of the micro-bob and its perfect look, it’s essential to maintain the ends. The ideal? Plan for a refresh every 4 to 6 weeks to keep a flawless hairstyle throughout the year.
