Summer haircut season is officially upon us. Over the weekend, Jessica Biel debuted her new cut, which she referred to as a “f-ck ass bob.” History lesson: The term FAB comes from a 2017 Vine that went viral in which one girl yells at another girl to stop talking with her FAB. My opinion on Jessica’s bob is that the cut wasn’t terrible but it needed layers for volume and much better styling.
Priyanka Chopra, however, understood the assignment. At a Bulgari event on Monday, Priyanka, who usually wears her hair boob-length and wavy with blonde highlights, showed off a new bob cut. It also looks like she went darker with reddish highlights. Oh, and she also paired her new ‘do with $43 million in jewelry. Yup, you heard me right! Forty. Three. Million. In. Jewelry. Now, that’s how you show off a haircut.
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend—just ask Priyanka Chopra. After all, the Baywatch star recently made a dramatic hair transformation—going from long tresses to a choppy bob—just so she could show off her sparkly accessories at a Bulgari event in Rome, Italy, May 20. As she noted on her Instagram Stories, “When the jewels deserve a haircut for a better view.”
Priyanka revealed her drastic hair change at a Bulgari event in Rome, Italy May 20, where she celebrated the brand’s Aeterna collection with fellow ambassadors Anne Hathaway, Liu Yifei, Shu Qi, Hikari Mori, and Alessandro Gassman.
But of course, the 41-year-old’s summer-ready ‘do wasn’t the only swoon-worthy aspect of her getup. She wowed in a black-and-white gown that featured a sculptural peplum top with petal-shaped sleeves draped off the shoulders. The rest of the design also included a see-through, floor-length skirt with a small train.
Completing her look, the Quantico alum let her jewelry pieces steal the spotlight as she wore a 200-carat diamond choker necklace. Its value? A whopping $43 million, according to Glamour.
The one-of-a-kind piece, per the outlet, also took more than 2,800 hours to complete.
Thoughts? I’ll go first! I really, really like this cut on Priyanka. I genuinely do. It looks healthy and IMO, doesn’t age her at all. I also love the waves. I don’t really have a strong opinion about her dress, but only because that’s not really my style. But if you like it, I won’t yuck your yum! It looks nice on her, though. That gazillion dollar necklace is also gorgeous. I cannot even imagine what it would be like to wear that much money worth of jewels around my neck. I’d probably keep reaching up to make sure they were still there. “When the jewels deserve a haircut for a better view” is cute, too. I mentioned when we talked about Biel’s shorter hair that I cut my hair into a bob a couple of months ago and don’t like it at all. Well, I have wavy hair like Priyanka’s and this style is exactly how I pictured my hair would look! I’m now living vicariously through her.
Note by CB: Priyanka was seen wearing extensions again at an event on Tuesday (photo in Instagram and gallery below). Still just as gorgeous as ever.

She looks absolutely beautiful. Her black and white gown looks dreamy. Her new hair style is quite becoming. Her make up is flawless. The diamond necklace is too big. Even diamonds can be too big. I am not being facetious. The necklace she is wearing in the elevator is far more dainty.
There are certain people who never let their clothes wear them, and Priyanka is one of them. This also extends to hair. She looks great!
She really does look incredible! Wow.
She looks amazing in a bob. She’s a gorgeous woman and those jewels are eye watering.
Interesting too right after Jessica Biel’s bob (which btw I suspect would annoy timberpants a lot and I’d be there for that, he strikes me as a long hair guy).
Jessica’s hair is much thinner than Pryanka’s and it’s not the best texture for that bob. A longer bob, maybe. Timberpants strikes me as someone who would love to be with a woman of a higher profile but no one wanted him.
Timberpants can’t ever be overshadowed by anyone. Not sure about the high profile. I loathe him but have seen snippets of interviews. Apart from him needing all the attention (even at their wedding) he also gloats that Jessica basically starves herself and exercises all the time. I only glanced at Jessica’s Bob, but I am sure such a shallow dude needs a Chick with long hair. I hope she did it to piss him off (that’s my 72 year old dream for Jessica).
She’s so beautiful that she can wear any hair style. I love this bob on her though. It looks chic and easy at the same time.
For any of the jewelry fans, here’s the webpage for the necklace she’s wearing.

Thank you, I was hoping someone would post this! This look is absolute perfection. Her dress, makeup, hair, jewelry, everything goes together flawlessly. THIS is how I would dress if I were a celeb (and had access to $, personal trainer, etc, of course!). Literally one of my favorite looks ever.
Anyone know the designer of the dress?
Thank you for posting this! Everything about this look is perfect. Styled to absolute perfection.
She looks gorgeous! And bobs aren’t for everyone (I discovered that the hard way) but she can probably wear a variety of hair styles and look great. Having a great stylist goes a long way!
I disagree. I think most women can pull off a bob or a lob. I bet you looked better than you think!
Is it just me or do all these new bobs just look sloppy?
ITA it looks sloppy. She has a lot of stray hairs and pieces that don’t look intentional.
Oh thank God it wasn’t only me.
She looks good, really, but that haircut looks cheap and poorly executed.
She looks gorgeous – the hair, the dress, and that necklace!! Just a stunning look overall.
I think she also has a face shape that suits bobs, Biel doesn’t.
Gorgeous. I think she looks more sophisticated with the new hairstyle, but she’s always been beautiful.
I was prepared not to like it because I like her so much with long hair, but this looks great! It really, really suits her. I think that’s the exact right length for her too. Any shorter and it would have been all wrong.
I love this! And honestly, I think this haircut actually makes her look younger — with the long hair, she looks like a Bravo reality star villain.
This woman just LOOKS expensive. That’s a compliment btw. Very elegant and classy.
Jessica Biel take note, this is how you do a cute bob.
I like her bob, it shows off her beautiful face. Don’t care for the dress. Wowza jewels. Sorry, Rosie, you didn’t like your cut. Been there.
The black dress is fire! She looks terrific in sunglasses. Somehow the jewelry does not have me drooling. Not sure why. But Priyanka looks terrific.
She looks stunning! Though I wish they would have airbrushed her tattoo because it’s incredibly distracting and takes away from the expensive looking jewels
Gross, narcissistic and tone deaf to be showcasing this kind of wealth in the current state of the world. It’s irrelevant how good she looks superficially, this kind of display turns me off her so much as a human being.
