It’s baa-aack! Victoria Beckham‘s Posh bob, aka The Pob, has been revived. The former Spice Girls singer tweeted a shot yesterday of her newly-shorn locks. “Loving the hair! Thank u Tina Outen,” she wrote to her London stylist.
The Pob was Beckham’s signature look during her Spice Girls tenure, but she has most recently sported a more casual L.A.-friendly hairstyle: long, layered tresses. Now that she’s moved to Paris — husband David Beckham signed a new soccer contract with Paris St Germain — perhaps she was feeling a need for more sophisticated ‘do.
This latest reincarnation of her trademark hairstyle seems to be longer than her original Pob, which was chin-length in the front and buzzed shorter in the back. In fact, it may be more like the Karlie, the longish bob named after model Karlie Kloss and declared by the New York Times as the “the haircut of the year.” Other stars who’ve cut their tresses into a similar style this year include Nicole Richie, Naomi Watts, Nikki Reed, Jennifer Lawrence, Felicity Huffman, and Jaimie Alexander.
The mom of four kids spoke on Apr. 28 at the Vogue Festival in London about juggling her busy life and how she’s perceived by others. “I’m nice! Everyone thinks I’m going to be a cow,” she quipped. “I understand it, actually. I think the same when I see the pictures.”
