Selena Gomez is proving once again that she’s a hair chameleon. The 'Only Murders in the Building' star recently swapped her long bob for a fresh, longer style dubbed the “velvet edge cut” by her hairstylist, Nikki Lee.
“A little added length, softly structured layers,” Nikki captioned on Instagram alongside photos of Selena’s new look, “and a superstar face.” The 33-year-old’s dark locks now cascade past her shoulders, with a delicate, loose fringe framing her face for an effortlessly glamorous vibe.
