Jenna Bush Hager Debuts Bob Haircut Live on Today

Jenna Bush Hager embraced a dramatic new look by getting a blunt bob haircut live on the June 16 episode of Today With Jenna & Friends, fulfilling a promise she made to guest co-host Leslie Bibb earlier in the year. Celebrity hairstylist Chris McMillan, known for creating Jennifer Aniston’s iconic 'Rachel' cut and Leslie Bibb’s viral bob on The White Lotus, performed the haircut, which Bush Hager described as shockingly short. Despite some onlookers and her daughter expressing hesitation about the change, Leslie Bibb encouraged her throughout the process, praising her as a "badass." McMillan tailored the cut to suit Jenna's face shape, aiming for a modern, sexy style with versatility for different looks. The full reveal of Jenna’s transformation was scheduled for a subsequent episode, highlighting the significance of the haircut as a fresh start following changes in her co-hosting dynamic. This event underscored the cultural impact of the blunt bob, popularized recently by Bibb's White Lotus character, and the influence of McMillan’s styling expertise.
