Michelle Pfeiffer’s New Blunt Bob Is Proof That 2023 Will Be All About Short Hair — See Photos

These days, the old beauty diktat about women cutting their hair into a crop once they reach a certain age is rightly dismissed. Case in point: the actor Michelle Pfeiffer, who recently had her blonde hair styled into a blunt, directional lob in her sixties. 

Cut by Chris McMillan, who is also Jennifer Aniston‘s longtime hairstylist, Pfeiffer’s new style is chic and minimal. The duo revealed the new hairdo via a super cute selfie posted to Instagram on December 12. With choppy ends and a blunt finish, it’s the kind of cut that makes a subtle statement — no styling required. 

“Sometimes just a simple blunt cut at the collarbone does the trick,” wrote McMillan on Instagram. “I always like to use the body and face shape to judge length. Sometimes keeping it simple makes a huge difference.” The Hairspray star’s bright blonde hair usually always falls past her collarbones, so we haven’t seen her recently with a short length like this outside of her acting roles.
