Watch : Jenna Bush Hager Gets a Dramatic Haircut While on Air
It’s blunt bob summer—and Jenna Bush Hager has decreed it so.
After the Today anchor took inspiration from her Jenna & Friends guest co-host Leslie Bibb and had her shoulder length hair chopped on air June 16, she sported her new look during the show’s broadcast the following day.
“This is my hair,” Jenna, 43, announced on the June 17 episode of Today. “I feel a little…You know that '90s movie Single White Female,where you try to copy somebody to such an extent? You made this haircut so famous, and then I used your hairstylist, who is a star, to get the exact same haircut, and I'm feeling a little strange.”
While both haircuts were done by celebrity stylist Chris McMillan, Jenna’s hair is not totally identical to the White Lotus actress’ look. Indeed, Leslie’s blunt cut ends just above her chin, but Jenna's hair falls just above her shoulders. Though, of course, Leslie couldn't help but gush over her pal’s new ‘do.

“You don't look strange,” the Popular alum insisted. “You look sexy and powerful and glamorous. And I kept saying it yesterday—you're a badass.”
Jenna—who shares kids Mila, 13, Poppy, 9 and Hal, 5, with husband Henry Chase Hager—admitted that her brood wasn’t the biggest fan of the new look, but her husband “did like it.”
“He was like, ‘Damn that’s hot,’” Jenna gushed. “Which was sweet.”

As for how Jenna is feeling about her new summer look?
“I felt lighter,” she explained. “There's a lot of change happening, and I feel a little embarrassed by the attention. I know, the people who work with me are like, ‘Mother loves attention,’ But I felt a little embarrassed.”
However, if Jenna isn’t in love with her hair soon enough she can always grow her tresses back out. As stylist Chris told her during the June 16 broadcast, “Bobs are like spring cleaning.”
