Maude Apatow just showed us exactly how the chicest bob trend of the season is done! The actress and writer just wore her hair in a wavy inverted bob haircut and it looks delicious, delectable and delightful.
An 'inverted bob' is when a bob is longer in the front, giving extra length around the face, but shorter in the back, retaining a more traditional bob length and giving the cut more shape and movement. Maude was attending Mont Blanc's 'Let's Write' event in LA, celebrating 100 years of the Meisterstuck pen, and hairstylist Renato Campora gave her a suitably intellectual yet sexy hairstyle for the cultured occasion.
The inverted bob has been curled into a soft wave with a silk low-shine texture that really makes all the tones in her rich brunette hair just pop. Those buttery ends? Perfection. It's a style set to be huge this summer as the year's bob cutters look for ways to do something new with their cut.
Her makeup was done by makeup artist Kelsey Deenihan Fisher – a favourite of Reese Witherspoon and Lucy Hale – and it didn't disappoint. Her peaches and cream complexion was made up with the subtlest flush to the cheek, a dusty rose lip, and a softly smudged out wing that was perfect for her late 1960s-inspired fit.
Sorry, but we are obsessed with that dress styled by Mimi Cutrell. The colours? The texture? The silhouette? And we could say the exact same things about the hair... The colours? The texture? The silhouette? This team was really teaming when they put together this look. It's so cohesive and so Maude. 5 stars all around.
