There are few people that can capture our undivided attention quite like Eva Longoria. As beauty lovers, we are constantly captivated by her radiant makeup looks and tumbling, glossy chestnut brown hair. Although the Desperate Housewives actress has experimented with her fashion choices over the years, she has rarely strayed from her signature brunette hue – apart from adding some light honey highlights in the summer. However, in a new Instagram post, the American star debuted a super short haircut, waving goodbye to her long locks and embracing the bob life.
In the image, the star posed on a rooftop in Madrid and all eyes were on her super short, wet-look bob. Her hair was cut in choppy layers but the drenched finish added a super sleek touch. The beauty muse has revealed that her longtime hair stylist, Ken Paves, was trusted to cut her locks. Ken is a well-known stylist to the stars and is also part of Victoria Beckham’s main glam team.
In case you missed the memo: bob’s are truly back this season and will be stying long into 2026. Elliot Bute, Hairstylist at Hershesons Fitzrovia tells H! Fashion: “In 2026, hair is making a statement. We’ll see sharp, structured cuts like bobs and strong bangs returning, but also a huge embrace of natural texture. It’s a balance of precision and freedom, some people want a sculpted, futuristic look, while others are leaning into soft, lived-in curls and air-dried finishes. And for those who prefer understated glamour, the mid-length or long quiet luxury cut will be popular in 2026 – think glossy, simple, and effortless.”
Now, we can’t discuss this overall look without mentioning her monochrome outfit. The director and producer matched the chic bob perfectly with an all black ensemble featuring a structured blazer draped over a maxi mesh dress and tiny shorts. She also paired this revealing look with some chunky gold accessories including some round earrings and a court heel. This whole look together might just be her most daring look yet – from the short cut to the mesh ensemble, Eva is really embracing a new side to her style this autumn.
As we head towards colder days, there is no greater time to start embracing the bob life. Take a leaf out of Eva’s book and embrace a new sleek, monochrome vibe this autumn/winter.
