Margot Robbie Debuts Razor-Sharp Blonde Bob
The actress swapped her shaggy caramel lengths for a sleek, jaw-grazing cut at Chanel's first Sydney show.
Updated on Nov. 5, 2026 in Fashion
Margot Robbie debuted a dramatically shorter, sharper, blonder bob, arriving in Sydney with a cool-toned, almost-white blonde cut. She wore it at Chanel's first Sydney show, seated beside Nicole Kidman.
Why it matters
The cut marks a move away from softer, shaggier summer styles toward a more polished finish, a shift stylists say clients are seeking ahead of colder seasons.
The blunt ends curve inward just below the jaw, and the color is a cool-toned, almost-white blonde. Robbie wore the bob in a deep side part, slicked and flicked out to touch her earlobes.

Timeline
Fall 2026: Robbie wore a shaggier bob for Chanel's show in Paris.
November 2026: Robbie arrived in Sydney with the new razor-sharp bob.
Style Shift
The sharp Sydney bob reverses the wispy, shoulder-skimming look Robbie wore for Chanel's fall 2026 Paris show, a move Marylebone stylist Frankie Pullen links to clients seeking polished finishes before colder seasons.
If you want a similar look, ask your stylist for a blunt bob that curves inward just below the jaw and a cool-toned blonde color. Plan for a salon appointment, since the sharp angle requires regular trims to hold its shape.
The takeaway
A precise, polished bob can refresh your look as seasons change, and asking a stylist for a blunt, jaw-length cut is a practical starting point.
