The styles range from soft and romantic to blunt and fierce.
Two of the year’s biggest beauty trends—deep side parts and crisp bobs—joined forces on the 2024 Emmys red carpet. From the sweet, curled-under coif on Naomi Watts to the razor-sharp cut on Skye P. Marshall, the side-part bob appeared in many variations; making the case to embrace the look for fall.
Ahead, explore 12 stunning side-part bobs to add to your fall beauty mood boards.
Naomi Watts
Watt’s old-money blonde strands stun in this polished bob. Her straight hair is curled under, adding both volume, weight, and a hint of sweetness to her cut.
Niecy Nash-Betts
Nash-Betts swapped her distinctive long and curly lengths for an asymmetrical bob. The style features a deep side part with swooped bangs, with the shorter side of her 'do swept behind her ears.
Sarah Paulson
Paulson isn't new to the side-part bob—it's a look she's worn time and time again, proving that she's been well ahead of this trend. Tonight's look is slicked back and curled under, with the curl hitting just at her jaw, accentuating her bone structure.
Kristen Wiig
Soft bends add volume and movement to Wiig’s short, blunt bob. The side part keeps her face-framing blonde highlights to one side, allowing her brown roots to shine, adding warmth to her look for fall.
Christine Baranski
Classic, chic, and charming, Baranski’s blonde bob shines as bright as her gold Oscar de la Renta gown. It serves as the perfect contrast to her velvety plum lipstick, Le Rouge Français’ Le Rouge Braziline in the shade Sappan.
Saoirse Ronan
Loose, yet polished, waves add texture to Ronan's blonde lob. Her subtle bangs are swept up and over with lots of volume at the roots.
Skye P. Marshall
Marshall's blunt bob is sharp and correct—hitting just above her jaw. Lots of volume and a warm chocolatey hue keep the edged look from reading too severe.
Leslie Bibb
Bibb's bob features tousled waves accentuated with a touch of gel lifting her roots and slicking back one side, adding structure to an otherwise undone look.
Lucia Aniello
Director and writer Aniello styled her shoulder-grazing strands in a silky and simple side part with soft curls at her ends.
Carrie Coon
Coon's wet-look bob is slicked right against her scalp for an incredibly sleek and fierce look—a major departure from the romantic updos she wears on The Gilded Age.
Sabrina Elba
Elba’s voluminous crop is a perfect example of the Italian bob, featuring a blunt cut with layers for lots of movement.
Jodie Foster
Foster, who won her first Emmy tonight, wore her bob with flipped-out ends for a fun and playful style.
