When I think of Carey Mulligan, I think of a bob. No—I think of a perfect bob. She’s worn it tousled, choppy, bumped under, flicked out, and poker straight, always ending midway along the jaw. At the Governors Awards last year, her bob was smooth and icy-blonde with a little volume and subtle tuck at the ends. For the 2024 SAG Awards, not a hair lay out of place when it came to her razor-sharp cut. In the bob sphere, she’s well-versed. Which is what makes her recent cut so surprising: Carey has a crop now!
Seen arriving for an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Mulligan’s hair was noticeably shorter and flipped to the side—detailed with small twists of hair at the front and through the middle of her head. It’s the work of longtime hairstylist Bryce Scarlett—who also works with Lily-Rose Depp, Margot Robbie, Hailey Bieber, and Saoirse Ronan, among others—which Scarlett trimmed for the the length just to hit the bottom of Mulligan’s earlobe, scraping the top of the nape of her neck. Plus, because of the wet look the pair have struck on, her color looks darker, too—interspersed with golden flecks and darker, acorn tones.
