Emma Watson has made a splash debuting her new Mia Farrow-like crop. It was a drastic change for the Harry Potter actress, who had kept her locks long for years to play Hermione in the eight films. New Attitude has noticed though she’s not the only one who’s been to the salon recently. Naomi Watts also showed off a new, shorter blunt cut at the Salt premiere, and Scarlett Johansson modeled a short, choppy bob at Comic Con. Cast your vote on which style you like best!

Short—Naomi (above)
Stylist Robert Vetica created Watts’ shorter, blunt bob with layered, side-swept bangs, for a look that referenced 60s British pop and Studio 54. “It was quite a change for Naomi. I cut 2 inches off, kept her hair blunt and collarbone length, and created bangs that swooped to the side,” says Vetica. “The length is a bit longer in front and slightly higher in back. The bangs were first cut long and blunt, then razored and texturized to about the bridge of the nose so they looked lighter around the face and were easily swept to the side. The look had to accent her gorgeous blonde color, have lots of shine and movement and look really healthy and strong.”
Shorter—Scarlett
Oribe was the stylist responsible for transforming Johansson’s long locks into a jagged, mid-length bob. “It’s very modern…cut in a really jagged line at the bottom,” says Oribe. “It’s a combination of Brigitte Bardot in the front and ‘90s-style Christy Turlington at the bottom.”
Shortest—Emma
Watson’s cut was the most dramatic of the three styles, but stylist Rodney Cutler who did the snipping, can’t say much about it. Protecting his client/stylist relationship, he says, according to an brief interview he did with Modern’s Maggie Mulhern.
Watson, though, had plenty to say, telling Entertainment Weekly: “I missed all that experimentation that most teenagers go through. I’ve wanted to do this since I was about 16, so as soon as I had the chance I was like, ‘Right. This is it.’ It was weird. My hairdresser was like, ‘When are you going to freak out?’ Most people cry or go into shock,’ but I was very calm. I knew it was the right thing. I went to the salon alone and I left alone. I knew everyone was going to have an opinion, and I couldn’t deal with it. I have to get myself into a good place to deal with people saying things like, ‘It’s terrible! She looks like a boy!’”
