The stars are chopping their locks in droves, and the latest lob convert is none other than supermodel Kate Upton. The two-time Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition cover girl opted for a shoulder-grazing long bob during her promotional tour for the mobile game Game of War – Fire Age. “I love my new do,” she captioned an Instagram photo of her new hairstyle.

While the newly appointed actress didn’t cite a reason for the cut, which came courtesy of hairstylist Bryce Scarlett, we can’t help but wonder if the model found inspiration from other famous lobs, like her Knicks game companion Taylor Swift’s hairstyle. Or perhaps she was influenced by Swift BFF and fellow model Karlie Kloss, who, nearly two years ago, traded in lengthy strands for a cropped ’do (dubbed “The Karlie”) that differentiated her from the pack of long-haired models (and helped solidify her as a household name). Whatever her inspiration, we love Upton’s fresh new look and we’d bet that it’ll incite even more flattering Marilyn Monroe comparisons than before!
