This past weekend, the Academy Museum Gala, often dubbed the “Met Gala of the West Coast,” showcased fashion and beauty moments that were hard to miss. Selena Gomez made a striking appearance, unveiling a stylish hair transformation just in time for fall.

So, what exactly is the Academy Museum Gala? It’s an elegant event aimed at supporting the Academy Museum (as in the Academy Awards) and its exhibits and programs. Over the years, it has become one of the major fashion highlights of the year, attracting stars like Kendall Jenner, Cynthia Erivo, and Ariana Grande, among many others. For this special occasion, Gomez wore a custom velvet Alaïa gown and showcased one of the season’s top haircut trends: the flippy bob.

Gomez’s interpretation of the flippy bob was classic and elegant. The straightforward haircut featured a traditional bob with the ends flipped upward, creating a stylish curve. Styled by Marissa Marino, Gomez’s bob had a sleek, wet-like finish, likely achieved with gel and product to keep it in place. She opted for a deep side part, adding a touch of glamour to the overall look. The flippy bob’s simplicity was its strength, and Gomez pulled it off flawlessly.

Given that this shorter cut marked a significant change for her, Gomez opted for minimal makeup. Her go-to makeup artist, Hung Vanngo, crafted a fresh look featuring glowy pink lips and cheeks alongside a soft gray smoked-out eyeshadow.

She complemented her velvety blue gown with silver jewelry and a shimmering “cosmic silver gloss” manicure by Tom Bachik. This fall, Gomez traded her usual colors for a lighter approach, showcasing her natural nails with a sheer, sparkly polish.

It’s clear: the flippy bob is making waves this fall. From Kim Kardashian to Selena Gomez, this chic short cut is set to be one of the season’s standout beauty trends.
