Sapphics Provided Much-Needed Bright Spots This Week
We've reached the end of another week. But before we clock out for the weekend, we're giving credit where it's due. Sapphics are the latest champions in our Winner of the Week series.
Amid the many horrors, a few bright spots shine. These beacons of hope, these lighthouses promising safe harbor… are called lesbians. Thank you, lesbians. As Billy Eichner once said: let's go, lesbians!
Seriously, we'd be lost without the sapphics right now. Gabby Windey and Robby Hoffman kicked off the year by getting surprise-married in Vegas, deciding to tie the knot as they fled the devastating Los Angeles wildfires. (They kept the news a secret until this week.)

Gabby Windey and Robby Hoffman Got Married in a Secret Las Vegas Ceremony
The couple had just evacuated from the LA fires.
'My dream is coming true. I want to be married to her—I don't care how,' Hoffman recently told Cosmopolitan of their somewhat spur-of-the-moment plan, which culminated in a walk down the aisle to 'HOT TO GO!' by Chappell Roan (more on her in a sec). 'I just love being with Robby, so knowing that I got her one-on-one to celebrate this beautiful night, I could cry. It was joy,' said Windey. I could cry too, Gabby.

Also walking the hall of sapphic power coupledom are Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus of Boygenius, who are officially, publicly, official, as of March 18. 'From us to you, we are in love,' Dacus told People after months of speculation. She's also got a new album out that, for the first time, uses female pronouns instead of the ambiguous 'you' to describe the love interest in her music, an openness that Dacus describes as 'intimidating' but is also so lovely.

It's a trajectory that Chappell Roan can certainly relate to, which brings us to the biggest gift the givers have given us: 'The Giver.' Yes, living and loving vicariously through our favorite couples is a time-honored tradition, but other people's joy isn't actually ours to borrow. Their music, on the other hand? Inject it straight into my veins.

From the Donut Shop to a World Tour: Chappell Roan Is Doing Pop Her Way
"I haven't even written my best song yet," the singer-songwriter tells *Glamour*.
Though her album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess was everywhere last year, it was actually a 2023 release; the one and only song Roan put out in 2024 was the anthemic 'Good Luck, Babe!,' a defiant and rollicking piece of pop about a queer woman in denial. For 2025, the vibe is a bit different. 'The Giver' skips right over the to-come-out-or-not-to-come-out-that-is-the question and gets to the point. 'I just think a lesbian country song is really funny, so I wrote that,' said Roan.
Happy Women's History Month indeed. Alexa, play the trailer for The Wedding Banquet!
With queer rights (and, let's be real, human rights) in a precarious position politically, we won't be so bold as to say that the joy of a few is evidence of some national sea change. But this art, these relationships, this moment can be a form of connection, escapism, maybe even therapy at a time when that's exactly what we need. Positive representation of women in love with each other is something to celebrate.
And it is progress. Twenty-five years ago we had the performative (i.e., fake) queerness of t.A.T.u., the misunderstood Britney-Madonna kiss, the questionable lessons of Chasing Amy. Fifteen years ago, naughty novelty fueled Katy Perry's 'I Kissed A Girl.' In 2025, is queerness totally normalized? Depends where you are. But at least if there's a girl on stage singing or talking about being in love with another girl, it's because she actually is.

Chappell Roan Misses Her First No. 1 By One Space
Chappell Roan has spent the past several years leaping from indie pop fame to true superstardom. She has scored massive hits on a number of Billboard charts, but there are still a handful of rankings where she has yet to reach No. 1. Her latest single, 'The Subway,' brings her closer than ever on a number of rosters and helps her hit new career highs, even as it just barely misses out on becoming the champion on one of the most competitive song tallies in the United States. 'The Subway' Launches at No. 2 'The Subway' starts at No. 2 on the Streaming Songs chart. That ranking lists only the most successful cuts on the major streaming platforms in the U.S., like Apple Music, Spotify, iHeartRadio, and several others. 'The Giver,' 'Good Luck, Babe!' and 'Pink Pony Club' Roan has never earned a No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart, though she has come close on multiple occasions. 'The Subway' marks her fourth trip to the top 10. 'The Giver' and 'Good Luck, Babe!' were previously tied as her highest-rising wins, as both stalled in fourth place. 'Pink Pony Club,' one of her most famous tracks, also reached the region as it peaked at No. 6. Another cut from her debut album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess, the upbeat 'Hot to Go!,' almost cracked the tier, but instead it stopped at No. 12. 'Golden' From KPop Demon Hunters Leads Again Only the biggest song in America keeps Roan from her debut leader on the Streaming Songs tally. 'Golden,' taken from Netflix's KPop Demon Hunters, leads the chart yet again, as it's not just the most-streamed tune in the country, but also the most popular when it comes to general consumption. Chappell Roan's New Top 10 Smashes 'The Subway' is an instant top 10 success on every Billboard ranking it debuts on this frame. The cut earns its loftiest start on the Streaming Songs tally, while it kicks off its time on the Hot 100 at No. 3 and opens on the Digital Song Sales ranking at No. 4. Looking worldwide, 'The Subway' enters the Billboard Global 200 at No. 3 and narrowly finds space inside the highest tier on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S., where it begins its time in tenth place.

Your Definitive Guide to Bob Haircuts
All products featured on Allure are independently selected by Allure editors. However, when you buy something through our retail links, Condé Nast may earn an affiliate commission. Getty Images Last summer, I blacked out and cut a foot of my hair off. When I came to, I immediately realized that I'd been denying my true identity: I am a bob person. I also learned that I didn't just have a bob—no one just has a bob. Mine was French. And as I've been letting it grow, I've had the opportunity to experiment with other types of bobs. It's that versatility that has made the bob such a timeless cut. But there have been eras in which the look seems particularly ubiquitous, and we are definitely in one now. It feels like every third celebrity has a bob, whether they've been wearing one for years or recently joined the club. If you're interested in becoming a member, there's a lot more to consider than 'Am I ready to cut my hair?' The right bob for you comes down to the look you like best, but also how much effort you're willing to put into styling it, your face shape, and your natural curl pattern (or lack thereof). Meet the experts Amy Abramite is a hairstylist and the creative director at Maxine Salon in Chicago. Nick Arrojo is a hairstylist and the founder of Arrojo salon in New York City. Rogerio Cavalcante is a hairstylist and the owner of the Second Floor Salon in New York City. Julien Farel is a hairstylist and salon owner in New York and Palm Beach, Florida. Dimitris Giannetos is a hairstylist based in New York, Los Angeles, and Paris. Raven Hurtado is a stylist at Maxine Salon Olya Iudina is a hairstylist at IGK in New York City. Mia Santiago is a hairstylist and the owner of Headspace in Columbus, Ohio. Italian Bob 'The Italian bob is full of soft waves and loose, bouncy texture,' says stylist Nick Arrojo, founder of Arrojo salon in New York City. 'Think Sophia Loren glamour, modernized.' This curvaceous cut is all about volume, which is what makes it the perfect bob for those with medium to thick hair who want to lean into the fullness. Rogerio Cavalcante, stylist and owner of the Second Floor Salon in New York City, recommends asking your stylist for a bob that hits at the chin or neck, with a blunt or softly layered baseline. 'This bob adds body and bounce while maintaining a sleek, put-together finish,' he says. But you're not locked into an always-polished look. 'The minimal layering in this haircut also gives some versatility when it comes to styling, so you can wear it tousled and undone,' says Mia Santiago, stylist and owner of Headspace in Columbus, Ohio. French Bob (a.k.a. the Cheekbone Bob) This is what most people picture as a 'classic' bob. The French bob typically hits right at the cheekbone, allowing it to sculpt the face like natural highlighting and contouring. Says stylist Dimitris Giannetos, 'It's sexy, smart, and always gives main-character energy, even with minimal effort.' That effort is especially minimal if you're starting with straight or slightly wavy hair, and if you ask your stylist for a soft, round shape with subtle internal texturizing (in other words, no visible layers). 'A perfect French bob can carry a slightly messy look, but also look polished when it's styled slick and straight,' says Olya Iudina, a stylist at IGK in New York City. 'Consider adding bangs for an even more striking, editorial feel,' says Cavalcante. 'The result is sleek, bold, and undeniably chic.' '90s Bob Anyone who lived through the '90s as a teen or 20-something will remember this bob, probably from firsthand experience. (Hello, that would be me!) It's defined by a center part and curved-under shape with a marriage of smoothness and fullness. Says Giannetos, 'This is the ultimate cool-girl bob with its sleek middle part and those perfectly scooped ends that hug the jawline.' It's ideal for those who want a polished style with a hint of edge, says Cavalcante, who recommends the look for those with straight or slightly wavy hair. 'Ask your stylist for a blunt bob with a subtle stack in the back to create lift and shape, keeping the front slightly longer for balance.' Stylist Julien Farel, who owns eponymous salons in New York and Palm Beach, Florida, is an especially big fan of Lily Collins's 2025 take on the '90s bob. 'It gives her a more Gen Z look—trendy, sexy, and not overdone,' he says. Meanwhile, Santiago, who says the '90s bob is ideal for rounder faces, appreciates Cate Blanchett's interpretation: 'I love the face-framing pieces that Cate has. It adds some really great movement.' Layered Bob The layered bob takes the classic bob silhouette and zhuzhes it a bit. 'If you want volume, versatility, and a little edge, the layered bob is your best friend,' says Giannetos. 'It adds bounce and texture that's perfect for that lived-in, I-woke-up-like-this moment.' Softer and more dynamic, this look is defined by blended layers, volume, texture, and dimension, which makes it perfect for both fine and thick hair that's lacking shape. 'Ask your stylist for a bob that includes layers tailored to your hair type and face shape, whether you want a subtle lift or a more shag-inspired finish,' says Cavalcante. 'The result is effortlessly cool and easy to style.' A-line Bob When you picture the A-line bob, Victoria Beckham's Y2K haircut—the one she had as Posh Spice—may come to mind. But the pros want you to know that there are many more modern and less severe ways to wear this angular look. 'The A-line bob has a noticeable angle that is shorter in the nape and longer toward the face,' says Amy Abramite, creative director and stylist at Maxine Salon in Chicago. 'Layers can be added for movement and volume, or it can be one length. What matters most is the sloping angle forward.' The beauty of this style is how well it works with any length within the bob's range. Just look at the difference between Claire Danes's cut and Collins's 2024 look. 'This style adds structure and drama without sacrificing elegance, making it a favorite for those who want a modern yet timeless look,' adds Cavalcante, noting that the longer front pieces help frame and slim the face. 'Ask your stylist for a precise, graduated cut with a clean angle from back to front. Whether worn straight or with a slight wave, the A-line bob always delivers a bold, sophisticated edge.' Bell Bob The retro bell is perhaps the perkiest member of the bob family. As Giannetos puts it: 'It's giving modern-day Jackie O with a touch of pop star glam.' Cavalcante says the style is defined by its sleek shape and flipped-out ends that resemble, as you might have guessed, the curve of a bell. 'Best suited for straight to slightly wavy hair, this bob adds a fun, retro-inspired flair while maintaining a clean silhouette,' says Cavalcante. '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.' Abramite adds that rounded layers will enhance the shape but aren't necessary for the flip to take shape because 'it's all in the styling.' This is also a great way to ease into a bob without going uncomfortably short. 'Ask for a soft, structured lob with subtle undercutting or beveling at the ends,' says Arrojo. 'It gives you bob energy without going short.' Sharp Bob It may seem a bit intimidating, but the sharp bob—that is, a bob that features a straight, sharp line with minimum texturizing—is actually the perfect beginner bob. 'If I have a client who wants to cut a bob the first time, I would recommend this one, since it's simple and very easy to style,' Iudina advises fellow hairstylists. You can straighten it, add a bit of wave, or do nothing at all. It works on all textures, she notes, as long as the bottom cut is straight and full. Ripped Bob Cavalcante calls the ripped bob a lived-in take on the classic bob, thanks to its piecey texture, tousled layers, and effortlessly cool finish. 'It gives the illusion of hair that's been naturally 'ripped,' or undone, with subtle bends and a slightly irregular shape that adds movement and dimension,' he says. Those subtle bends are what make it perfect for naturally wavy hair. 'It's not about precision; it's about movement and natural shape,' says Arrojo, who recommends asking for a midlength bob with deconstructed layers, which will allow you to use your natural wave to create volume and a cascading shape that has 'tons of personality.' And, as you can see from Halle Berry, the ripped bob is curl-friendly too. 'Very little layering allows her to stay voluminous and in control but not too puffy,' says Farel. Ultimately, Abramite says, it's low-maintenance and can be air-dried or diffused to enhance natural wavy texture. Shaggy Bob Fans of the retro shag don't have to give up its free-spirited layers just because they want to go shorter. 'Featuring choppy ends, bangs, and plenty of movement, this style flatters most face shapes,' says Cavalcante, 'and works especially well with naturally wavy or textured hair.' Says Raven Hurtado, a stylist at Maxine Salon, ask for layers that give lots of texture, and curtain bangs cut shorter in the center and longer to the end of the eyebrows. And when you think you might be ready to move on from any of the above haircuts? 'This look is great for those who are growing out their bob.'
