Jenna Bush Hager undergoes live on-air significant makeover
Jenna Bush Hager shocks fans with a fresh look on Today with Jenna & Friends, as she chops off her long blonde locks to recreate Leslie Bibb's iconic short bob. The change was a promised makeover, inspired by Leslie's character from The White Lotus.
Renowned hairstylist Chris McMillan, responsible for creating the original look for The White Lotus and the famous Rachel haircut from Friends, joined the trio to execute the transformation live on air. As he snipped away at Jenna's tresses, he shared the perks of having a bob, claiming they're like "spring cleaning."
"Woah, that's so short!" Jenna exclaimed, recalling her daughter's warnings about regretting the change. Leslie, on the other hand, called her a 'cool' badass'.
Fans eagerly await Jenna's big reveal, set for Tuesday's show. Instagram messages poured in with enthusiasm, praising her decision and her stylist. Some even couldn't wait to see Chris' work halfway through.
Chris feels the bob suits Jenna's lifestyle, pointing out the versatile style options, like slicking it back, going natural, or wearing it wavy. This change is just one example of the adventurous spirit that Jenna embodies.
In a parallel universe, close friend Savannah Guthrie showed her adventurous side by getting a tattoo with Drew Barrymore on her talk show. Savannah admitted she's not a tattoo person, but her friendship with Drew was persuasive. Her daughter, Vale, had reservations about her decision, humorously noting every time they hang out, she gets a tattoo.
Keeping It Real
This isn't the first time a Today star has undergone a major change in front of the camera. The short bob transformation complements Jenna's previous bold choices, like daring to wear a red pantsuit during an election year, or rocking her natural curls.
Jenna's friendship with Savannah is a special bond, forged over years of shared experiences. Being Hal's godmother meant the world to Savannah and served as a testament to their enduring friendship. Watch the video below to learn more about this beautiful sisterhood.
