Jenna Bush Hager bravely took the plunge into a new hairstyle during a live episode of ‘Jenna & Friends,’ inspired by guest host Leslie Bibb’s popular White Lotus bob. Celebrity hairstylist Chris McMillan assisted in the transformation, while Bibb provided the emotional support that Hager needed in the moment.
“Holy moly,” Hager exclaimed as the cameras focused on her apprehensive smile during the cut. “So Chris is still cutting; he’s gonna continue to cut. And then tomorrow you guys tune in, and you’ll see the whole look.”
As she described herself with long hair at the front and the new bob at the back, Hager humorously asked viewers to return to see her final hairstyle the next day. In an amusing nod to Schrödinger’s cat, she noted that until her new look is fully revealed, it exists in a state of both being attractive and unappealing.
Although Hager expressed clear nerves throughout the process, Bibb was enthusiastic about the change. When Hager glanced at the crowd and heard them voicing their doubts, she commented, “They’re telling me not to do it!” Bibb quickly interjected with a firm, “No!” and encouraged Hager, saying, “You are such a badass. You’re so cool.” As the episode wrapped up, Bibb enthusiastically affirmed, “It looks so cool!”
Viewers are encouraged to tune in on June 17 to discover Hager’s final look, and perhaps even get inspired by a potential bob from Reese Witherspoon in the next season of ‘The Morning Show.’
