Over the last decade, hair trends have come and gone, but one has remained popular throughout the 2010s: the bob. While the styles have varied from sleek to curly, blunt to layered, and with or without bangs, this is the one look that is always in fashion.

Some of the most iconic bobs are still as memorable as the day we first saw them. From Taylor Swift's edgy textured bob at the iHeartRadio Music Awards in 2016 to Nicki Minaj's sleek black bob in 2011, many of these daring haircuts still inspire us today.

Ahead, check out the best bob haircuts of the last decade. But be warned, these photos might tempt you to get a haircut.
