More Than a Foot of Rita Ora’s Hair Just Suddenly Disappeared — See Photos

Rita Ora let the intrusive thoughts win. If you’ve ever had long hair — like, very long hair — you know the temptation that sneaks up on you to just suddenly cut it all off even though you (perhaps from experience) know that you’ll regret it. It seems Ora has given in to the impulse, but from the looks of her chic new bob, she has absolutely nothing to regret.

Ora has been wearing her hair super-long for quite some time now, showing up on red carpets for the last couple of years with mermaid-esque, waist-length waves. She stuck to the look so long for good reason: it’s gorgeous. But “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” doesn’t always ease the itch to make a big chop.

On Thursday, February 15, the British singer was spotted around New York City looking almost unrecognizable in a voluminous yet sleek new bob. In just a matter of hours, she was seen wearing it both flipped out — the flippy bob is the cut of the moment, after all — and with the ends a bit straighter. In both instances, the top has been stealthily teased for impressive height.
