Katy Perry arrived in Tokyo last night sporting a new, much shorter style that's wholly different from her usual pin-up girl curls.

Katy Perry arrived in Tokyo last night sporting a new, much shorter style that's wholly different from her usual pin-up girl curls. The bob is a classic look, but it's a big departure for someone whose public persona is a lot more Candyland queen than Louise Brooks. Judging by her Twitter updates, it looks like the bob was probably a wig — but do you think she should think about making the cut with her real hair?

The bob is one of those cuts that's always around and always fashionable. It's feminine but low maintenance, and it's always been associated with independence and self-confidence. But although the basic structure of the cut has remained the same, the way we structure it and society's perception of the cut in general has shifted enormously over the last hundred years. So to find out how we got to the cut you know and love today, just keep reading.

Bella Donna: Louise Brooks

I'm delighted to introduce a new feature called Bella Donna, where we pay tribute to beauty icons through the ages.

I'm delighted to introduce a new feature called Bella Donna, where we pay tribute to beauty icons through the ages. A Bella Donna could be an actress, a model, or another prominent historical or modern figure. The only requirement is that she have a distinct and influential look. (Got an idea for a Bella Donna post? Tell me below.)

Since bob haircuts are back in full force, I thought we should take a moment to admire Louise Brooks, the silent film actress who put severe short haircuts on the map. Best known for her breakthrough role in 1929's Pandora's Box, Brooks' blunt-cut bangs and high-shine dark hair set off a nationwide trend. Perfectly manicured brows, pale skin, and dark velvety lips finished off her stunning look. In 1938, Brooks retired from Hollywood at a young age, and it's said that she was later discovered working at a sales clerk at Saks.
