Jenna Bush Hager Surprises Fans With A Bold New Haircut On Live TV

Jenna Bush Hager just gave her signature blonde hair a major refresh. And she did it live, right on air during the Today show. With cameras rolling and fans watching, she said goodbye to her familiar shoulder-length look. In its place? A sleek, trendy blunt bob.

The transformation happened on June 16, during the final hour of the show. Jenna sat in the salon chair with actress Leslie Bibb by her side. The two had been talking about the haircut since Leslie’s appearance on the show back in March. That chat turned into a plan. And now, it’s a reality.

Chris McMillan Works His Magic

To make the moment even more iconic, Jenna trusted celebrity hairstylist Chris McMillan with the scissors. He’s the same pro behind Jennifer Aniston’s famous “Rachel” haircut from Friends. So yes, Jenna’s hair was in legendary hands.

Chris didn’t rush the process. He began cutting slowly, starting at the nape. He explained that the back is always the shortest part and promised it would help highlight her natural blonde color. As the hair hit the floor, Leslie was there hyping Jenna up with, “You’re such a badass, you’re cool. I love this.”

A Bold Move With The Whole World Watching

Jenna’s reaction? “Whoa that’s so short,” she gasped, holding the chopped-off hair in her hand. But she also smiled, clearly loving the experience. It wasn’t just an on-camera stunt. It was personal. And very real.

Though she kept a brave face, Jenna admitted there was one opinion she was still curious about. Her daughter’s. “I will say, my daughter was like, ‘Mom don’t do it. You’re gonna regret it,’” Jenna shared. She was a little nervous, but also excited to show her kids and viewers the final result.

The Look Is All About Modern Vibes

After the show, Chris McMillan opened up about the cut. He aimed to keep Jenna’s style fresh, fun, and a bit edgy. “A little more modern and sexy,” he said. The cut is also very versatile. Jenna can wear it tucked behind the ears, wavy, or just natural. Think Jessica Biel or Charlize Theron vibes.

So if you’re thinking about switching it up this summer, take a cue from Jenna. Sometimes a fresh chop is all you need to feel brand new.
