Union’s new bob instantly reminded us of the one she debuted last January at Paris Fashion Week, a Posh Spice-esque asymmetrical crop that tiptoed into bixie territory; the 2026 iteration is just a teeny bit longer than its 2025 counterpart. Before returning to her bob era, the Bring It On icon had been wearing her hair longer, going from just past shoulder length to a true lob in early January, and while she looks amazing in every length and style, there’s something about this springy short hair that feels so right for right now. (And kudos to Union for stepping out in a mini and bare legs amidst New York City’s current cold snap!)
We’re not the only ones crushing on Union’s bob. One quick scroll through her most recent Instagram post reveals that pretty much everyone is a fan, including her husband Dwyane Wade, who dropped a goat emoji in the comments alongside tons of flames and hearts. And if her bob lit a spark of inspiration within you, check out our roundup of the top hair cut and color trends of 2026 to get a head start (pun intended) on a springy style of your own.
