As the cold, wintery days fade into the rearview mirror, springtime brings a wave of fresh hair transformations, and Lady Gaga is leading the charge with one of the most stylish changes we’ve seen this season. The singer, known for her ever-evolving looks, bid farewell to her quirky jellyfish haircut, which featured shorter front pieces and longer back strands, in favor of a sleek, chic French-girl bob with micro bangs.
The dramatic chop, unveiled on March 6, comes just in time for the release of her new album Mayhem, marking the start of a new musical era. Gaga’s fresh, chin-length bob captures one of 2025’s hottest hair trends, one that celebrity hairstylist Laura Polko previously described as “chic” for its low-key Parisian vibe. This bob is typically styled with inward-flipped ends, creating an effortlessly cool look that’s just as fashionable as it is carefree.
Lady Gaga’s new style follows a trend popularized by many celebrities, including Mindy Kaling, who brought back a lob, and Miley Cyrus, who made waves with baby bangs at an Oscars After-Party. Gaga’s bob, especially when paired with her signature blonde locks, fits right in with the growing trend of chin-length bobs and bangs.
Celebrity stylist Laura Polko also offers a bit of advice for those considering adopting this look. According to her, a chin-length bob with bangs is particularly flattering for people with angular jawlines, but she advises those who prefer one feature over the other—eyes versus nose—to think carefully about bangs. “If you prefer your eyes over your nose, I would not recommend doing bangs. If you prefer your nose to your eyes, then I think bangs are great for you,” she explained.
For those hesitant about bangs, there are plenty of ways to achieve French-girl glamour without them. French hair accessories—like metal hairpins, scrunchies, and bows—have been a major hit on the Paris Fashion Week street style scene, and Gaga may very well add her own twist to the trend.
No matter what accessories or variations of this look Gaga embraces next, one thing is for sure: her springtime makeover is setting the stage for even more hair mayhem in the months ahead.
