2009 Katie Holmes spurs bob style

Katie Holmes debuted a stylish bob this past summer and, all of a sudden, her 180-degree reinvention from low-key twentysomething to sophisticated arm candy of Tom Cruise seemed established � in this case, the hair really DID make the woman.

The "Dawson's Creek" alum recently updated her look, displaying eye-grazing bangs at a red-carpet event in Germany. Photos of the china-doll haircut swept through cyberspace, as Internet critics weighed in: some loved it, some hated it, and some sniped at its uncanny resemblance to the 'do of her 1-year-old daughter, Suri.
While long hair remains the norm in Hollywood, a handful of cropped cuts � versatile variations on The Bob � are making bold statements, from Holmes' classic coiff to Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham's sleek style to pop star Rihanna's edgy mane makeover.
As for who triggered the bob's rebirth among the rich and trendy, Paves, whose celeb clientele includes Jennifer Lopez and Jessica Simpson, points the finger at Beckham.

Rihanna put a severe spin on The Posh last spring with super lopsided layers � a smart way to stand out, given the buzz surrounding her megahit "Umbrella." Holmes � Beckham's B.F.F. � took a more moderate approach, as did Christina Applegate and Hilary Swank. Christina Ricci recently popped up on the red carpet with an ear-skimming bob.
The bob was considered a more conservative, preppy hairstyle, and that's no longer the case," explains Synnott-D'Annibale, who says the style "reflects a bigger change in Hollywood that � among the younger generation � there's a desire to be more stylish than sexy."
More and more young stars � under constant scrutiny from TMZ.com and other celebrity news outlets � are tending to their appearance and dressing to impress other women rather than appeal to mens' taste for revealing outfits and long, wavy hair, Synnott-D'Annibale says.New York stylist Harry Josh, who oversees the silky manes of Gwyneth Paltrow and Gisele Bundchen, says "there's an overwhelming boredom with hair right now. Going above the shoulder is so much fresher than keeping it on the long side, but there's very few people that are willing to take the plunge."
He thinks it would take at least "20 major people" to make the trend mainstream.
"It'd be more influential if Kate Moss, Cameron Diaz, you know, those kind of girls did something with their hair, because people look at them and think, `I want to be them,'" says Josh, who shuns Holmes' status as a fashion icon.
Baetiong, 27, from Naperville, Ill., was so intrigued by Holmes' hair that she brought a photo of the star to the salon a couple weeks ago.
"I ended up chickening out with the bangs," says Baetiong, who instead took inspiration from Beckham for an asymmetrical bob that one friend calls "the Victor/Victoria Beckham."
Synnott-D'Annibale says she's met several women who tell her that Holmes spurred their decisions to get bob styles.
"It's a pretty wearable style," she says. "It's not that crazy."
