Jenna Dewan Tatum's New Blunt Bob Is Gorgeous
Mark one more celebrity down for the blunt bob trend. Khloé Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, and Vanessa Hudgens (briefly) all got the cut this summer, and now Jenna Dewan Tatum is bookending hers with a similarly cool style. Given that the World of Dance host started the season with long, beachy, pure-mermaid waves, we’re here for this evolution in her look. Even better? The chop makes the most of her leftover highlights, with the fresh ends adding piecey interest to her shorter length.
The cut comes courtesy of celebrity hairstylist Jen Atkin, who we’ve come to mentally refer to as the kingmaker of lobs (she also whipped up Kardashian and Jenner’s short styles). Dewan Tatum’s take is like the Goldilocks square in the middle of those two: where Kardashian’s bob played up her hair’s volume, and Jenner’s strands lent themselves to a more streamlined silhouette, Dewan Tatum’s slightly graduated ends have just enough bulk to give off that “chic, but easy” vibe.

So the evidence is before us: blunt bobs are happening, hard. But looking at Dewan Tatum’s cut, it’s also incredible just how good she makes streaky highlights look. Where they normally throw us back to 2004 in a bad way (curse you, Sun In), she actually makes them look great. That’s probably in part thanks to her expertly ombréd tips, but combined with her just-slightly shorter ends towards the back, the effect feels entirely new. Which isn’t something that’s easy to do, but Dewan Tatum’s cut is convincing.
