Robert Pattinson's hair is having a big year. And it's only August.
Back in April he was seen looking almost unrecognizable with a handlebar mustache for the upcoming black-and-white horror film The Lighthouse.
Here’s a first look at Robert Pattinson and Willem Dafoe in Robert Eggers’ fantasy horror The Lighthouse, shot on 35mm black-and-white stock using equipment from the 1920s and ’40s
Out October 18, 2019.
Now he's sporting a very, very different look for another film project. Today when the trailer dropped for Netflix's upcoming period drama The King, featuring him, Timothée Chalamet and Lily-Rose Depp, it was clear there was one breakout star: R. Patz's hair.

In the film, which is due out this fall, R. Patz looks like the opposite of his character in The Lighthouse. His hair is long, flowing, and almost blonde.
I know, it's a lot to take in. So here's one more look.
Whether consciously or not, Pattinson's character, The Dauphin of France, ended up getting the most trendy hair style of the year — no, maybe the decade.
Everyone from Kim Kardashian to Natalie Portman, Naomi Campbell, Mandy Moore, Irina Shayk, Brie Larson, Kiernan Shipka, Gabrielle Union-Wade, and Kylie Jenner have identified as fans of the lob. But the trend might have just peaked with Pattinson.
Don't be surprised if you see a lot more lobs in the immediate future thanks to Pattinson.
*storms into hair salon* GIVE ME THE ROBERT PATTINSON
Basically, Netflix can cancel its marketing budget for The King because Pattinson's lob is enough of a draw.
I had no plans to watch this but robert pattinson with long hair in armour? When’s the release date https://t.co/LLGVURdsWu
For some people, though, it's reminding them of Pattinson's Twilight era. And another Twilight character.
...and then there's robert pattinson looking like jasper from twillight #theking
Whatever it is that Pattinson's lob inspires inside of you, hold onto that feeling because The King doesn't yet have a release date so we're just going to be waiting in agony until it arrives.
