Jenna Bush Hager reveals 'White Lotus'-inspired bob haircut on the 'Today' show

Jenna Bush Hager debuted a new haircut on Tuesday.

On the June 16 episode of Jenna & Friends, Hager was joined by The White Lotus actress Leslie Bibb, who famously rocked a blunt bob during the show’s third season. Bibb brought her hairstylist, Chris McMillan, to the show to give Hager a brand new bob of her own — during the episode’s live taping.

Hager showcased her new hairdo during Tuesday’s episode of Jenna & Friends alongside Bibb, who joined her once again. While Hager’s children weren’t fans of the Today host’s new look, her husband was very much on board.

“My husband did like it,” Hager told Bibb. “He was like, ‘Damn, that’s hot.’”

Before cutting Hager’s hair, McMillan likened the modern bob to “spring cleaning.”

“Bobs are like spring cleaning,” McMillan said on Monday. “There’s some bad damage, bad layers. It sort of evens it up.”

McMillan also assured the Today host that he’d be giving her a “modern version” of a bob, which is characterized by its “blunter” and “not so layer-y” appearance.

Bibb stood next to Hager, hyping her up as McMillan carried out the dramatic change. As a celebrity hairstylist, McMillan has worked with several of Hollywood’s biggest names — like Jennifer Aniston during her Friends run. The beloved stylist was responsible for giving Aniston her now iconic, quintessential ’90s haircut known as “The Rachel.”

McMillan spoke of the modern bob’s versatility and how its simplicity can elevate a person’s look.

“You can slick it behind your ears, like do the tuck,” he told Hager, adding that the style also allows for the hair to be worn down on one side of the face and tucked back on the other, for an asymmetrical look.

“You can wear it natural, you can wear it wavy,” McMillan added.

Bibb’s blunt bob immediately captured the attention of fans online following the Season 3 premiere of The White Lotus. The Popular actress previously told Today.com that the hairstyle received a vulgar nickname, thanks to her White Lotus costar Aimee Lou Wood.

“Aimee Lou is British. Aimee Lou is like my sister. So we’re very close, so we talk a lot, and do voice memos to each other,” Bibb said. “I think it was maybe the first episode or something, and she sent, ‘My friend wanted me to tell you that he’s f***ing loving you and your c***y little bob.”

McMillan even captured the moment he gave Bibb her blunt bob.

“Ummmm can you say iconic?? @mslesliebibb and I are always trouble together now let’s see the ‘c***y little bob’ become the look of the year with color by @traceycunningham1,” McMillan wrote.

Bibb left a comment on McMillan’s Instagram post, writing, “I LOVE YOU SO MUCH @mrchrismcmillan...we have been doing this a long time together... thank you for always making it so fun and effortless to help me find some new person to be...you're the GOAT ❤️”
