Earlier this month, Hilary Duff sported a past-the-shoulder hair length that she could tie up into a top knot. Today, she looks completely different:

Inspired by the long list of celebrities embracing summer’s heat, Hilary has now opted for a chic, shorter hairstyle!

As all women know, it’s always a bit scary to chop off length from your tresses. You can see Hilary’s apprehension despite being in the hands of famous celebrity hairstylist Marcus Francis in the following Instagram photo:

But all that worrying was for naught because the final result is great — Hil’s choppy, blond locks look light, fresh, and cool:

The actress is giving us major hair envy, especially since everyone who has gotten this long bob style looks really good — Taylor Swift, Kylie Jenner, and Karlie Kloss (if she’s not styling it like mom hair), to name a few.

So, what does Hilary do right after getting a new haircut? Test it out in public and show it to the paparazzi, of course.

After her “morning chop,” she went about her daily routine of looking after her two-year-old son Luca, grabbing lunch, and handling the paparazzi.

They bought lunch with her son, Luca Cruz Comrie, at Joan’s on Third in Los Angeles, a popular family-owned and family-operated gourmet marketplace.

Hilary’s new hairstyle had fallen flat somewhat, but it was bound to happen after a busy day like that.

Besides, the unstyled hair was a better match to her casual outfit. An oversized anorak, a loose gray tee, ripped denim shorts, her favorite Isabel Marant “Caleen” boots, plus a new do — Hilary was both comfy and chic.
