Sofia Richie is a mother, model, and trendsetter. Her wedding on the Côte d’Azur made waves in 2023. However, France seems to have captivated her not just as a celebration location. The 26-year-old is now sporting the “French Bob.” Fans love it!

Sofia Richie sports the trendy “French Bob”

Until now, we’ve always seen the model with long hair. She debuted her hairstyle on Instagram. There’s no need to debate what cut it is; she herself writes in the caption “French Bob.”

The “French Bob” is slightly shorter than the classic bob. It reaches the chin and is easy to style because it is cut straight. Richie wears the hairstyle in a beige blonde with highlights. Her face is framed by two light strands. In hairstyling jargon, this trend is called “framing.”

Currently, the model, who is the daughter of singer Lionel Richie, is in southern France. She called hairstylist George Curran to the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc to give her the cut with a middle part. The London stylist told “Vogue” that Richie’s hair needed the radical cut. After years of keratin treatments, this was a new beginning. Only a complete “reset” could help with the brittle hair.
