2024 was undeniably the year of the bob, with countless celebrities—and just as many of us—embracing the short-hair lifestyle. Now, in 2025, it seems the trend is here to stay. Case in point: Khloé Kardashian just debuted a fresh chop, courtesy of celebrity hairstylist Irinel de León.

“Fresh chop for @khloekardashian,” de León captioned a selfie of Kardashian on her Instagram grid. “I love this Italian-inspired bob we did on Koko!” The chic new cut falls just below the collarbone and features subtle layers for added movement and texture. As for the color, Kardashian’s rich brunette base is elevated with blonde face-framing highlights that lend brightness and dimension.

The key difference between a classic bob and a traditional bob is that “the Italian bob emphasizes fullness and volume, whereas a traditional bob tends to be more uniform and sleek,” celebrity hairstylist Danielle Priano previously told NewBeauty. Kardashian’s interpretation feels perfectly on-trend, blending subtle volume at the root with modern texture throughout. In fact, we pegged it as one of 2025’s biggest hair trends, thanks to insight from celebrity hairstylist and The Beachwaver Co. founder and CEO Sarah Potempa. Echoing what Priano said, she explained that the Italian bob “has a lot of volume at the root and leaves room for you to embrace some natural texture throughout the bob, giving it more of a modern edge.”

If you’re feeling influenced and want to get Kardashian’s Italian bob for yourself, you’re not alone. While a hairstylist should be familiar with an Italian bob, Priano suggests asking for a “mid-length bob with blunt ends and subtle volume,” à la Kardashian, and stressing that you want fullness more than a flat look. Before you know it, you, too, will be rocking the Italian bob with Kardashian-level elegance.
