    Sofia Carson is officially in her bob era. After some time spent wearing her signature long, bone-straight hair, the actress debuted a short blunt bob in the midst of the press run for her new film, My Oxford Year.

    My Oxford Year, Netflix's new romance film in which Carson stars alongside Corey Mylchreest, had its official red carpet premiere event in Los Angeles on July 24. For the event, the 32-year-old stepped out wearing a two-layered, black and white, strapless Richard Quinn gown with black opera gloves and black, pointed-toe pumps. She opted not to wear any neck jewelry, leaving all of the attention on her stunning blunt bob, which was cut just above her chin.

    Bob haircuts have always been considered timeless, classic, and perfect for summer, but the short cut has especially been experiencing a renaissance within the last year. After Leslie Bibb inadvertently popularized the "c—nty little bob" thanks to her role on The White Lotus earlier this spring, other celebrities like Sofia Richie, Gabrielle Union, Charlize Theron, and plenty more followed suit and debuted their own bob haircuts.

    If this summer's bob trend has you considering getting a chop, read ahead for some products you'll absolutely need to have in your inventory to get the best out of the style.
