Kerry Washington Just Debuted a Dramatic Jellyfish Bob—See Pics

The jellyfish cut is one of the trendiest, edgiest ways to wear layers. “It’s a ‘half short, half long’ mullet style,” Raven Hurtado, stylist at Maxine Salon, told Glamour in August. “The jellyfish cut has disconnected sections, with the top section [having] very short layers while the bottom layer is long and textured.” The top section is short and rounded, resembling a short bob or a bowl cut, while the longer layers resemble tentacles, which is how it got its “jellyfish” name.

Washington stars opposite Charlize Theron in Netflix’s The School for Good and Evil, out on Netflix Wednesday. Here’s the synopsis of the film, based on the best-selling book of the same name, from Netflix: “Best friends Sophie and Agatha find themselves on opposing sides of an epic battle when they’re swept away into an enchanted school where aspiring heroes and villains are trained to protect the balance between good and evil.”

One thing’s for sure: Washington’s new look is undeniably “good.”
