Teyana Taylor has been everywhere in the last year—after all, she put out a Grammy-winning album and delivered an Oscar-nominated performance—and just as ubiquitous is her signature hairstyle. The multi-hyphenate, far more often than not, has been seen in a retro-meets-modern pixie full of waves and swoops. But she just debuted a different kind of swoopy style, and we can't help but hope this won't be the only time she sports it during award-show season.
Taylor attended the Costume Designers Guild Awards in Los Angeles on Wednesday night, wearing a jaw-dropping raspberry pink Tamara Ralph gown with a sequinned halter top and flowing, satiny skirt. It's truly no wonder the guild honored her with the Vanguard Spotlight Award. But it wasn't just her dress that turned heads. Taylor's hairstyle, created by stylist Tai Simon, was a total departure from her go-to pixie, and just as gorgeous.
The Oscar nominee unveiled a few more inches of hair, styled into a bell bob, named for its shape: a smooth, straight bob that flips out at the ends. If not for the flip, her hair would likely reach past her shoulders, making this more of a lob (or a Robert), but the sweet swoop definitely puts it in bob territory.

Inspired to get your own bell bob? Hairstylist Rogerio Cavalcante, owner of the Second Floor Salon in New York City, previously told Allure that it's best-suited for straight to slightly wavy hair. "This bob adds a fun, retro-inspired flair while maintaining a clean silhouette,” he says. “Ask your stylist for a blunt cut at the chin or jawline, and style it with a flatiron or round brush to flip the ends outward.”
And yes, it will look just as adorable even if you don't have a sequinned couture dress to pair with it.
