Bobs Are Having A Moment At The 2016 Emmys

This year, celebs are using the Primetime Emmy Awards as testing ground for a fall favorite hairstyle: the bob. Be it at the ears or just below the shoulders ("lob" territory), it's the one look that never goes out of style. Combine it with a healthy does of black girl magic and the results are flawless.
