Last year, Emma Stone made an appearance at the Oscars with a cute pixie cut. Since then, she has let her hair grow back – but what many see as an annoying growing-out process, Emma Stone handles quite differently, proving that hair can look cool at any length if you style it correctly. Thanks to this one detail, her new soft swing bob just became the coolest hairstyle of the Oscars 2026.

At the 98th Academy Awards, Emma Stone was nominated for ‘Best Actress in a Leading Role’ in the film Bugonia. On the red carpet, she wore a dress with a Bridgerton vibe and a romantic hairstyle to match. Over the past year, her pixie has now grown into a long bob – shiny, healthy and bouncy.
To create shape, her bob is blow-dried and curled slightly in different directions at the ends, creating a beautiful wave in the strands. Her copper-coloured hair has a very shiny and healthy finish, which gives her hairstyle even more radiance (in addition to her gorgeous smile). Due to the curls, her long bob is slightly shortened so that it ends below her chin and falls softly.
