Jenna Bush Hager Debuts Sexy White Lotus Bob
Many celebrities have come out with phenomenal hairstyles that everyone cannot help but emulate. Such was the case with Jennifer Aniston and the “Rachel” from Friends. Heavy layers and side-swept bangs became all the rage, and that has happened again with Leslie Bibb and White Lotus. Along with Aniston’s celebrity stylist, Chris McMillan, he and Leslie created a sexy and sassy super-cropped bob that ladies are clamoring for. Leslie appeared on Today with Jenna & Friends, and Jenna Bush Hager stated that she had been inspired.
In March 2025, Jenna stated that she would get Leslie’s bob, and on Monday, June 16th, Chris McMillan showed up. He showed Jenna how short her hair would be, and Leslie was so excited that this was happening. Chris asked Jenna, who dons below shoulder-length layered hair, what she had done to herself that day. She shared that she had just washed her hair, and he began dry-cutting it. As the chop happened, the talk show host noted how short her hair was getting. She also added that her daughter was against her doing it.
@jennaandfriends_ Back in March, @jenna_bushhager vowed to #LeslieBibb that she would get on board with the bob. Well, today is the DAY! We brought in celebrity hairstylist @mrchrismcmillan—the mastermind behind Jennifer Aniston’s iconic hairstyle “The Rachel” on “Friends” and Leslie Bibb’s viral blunt bob from Season 3 of “The White Lotus”—to give Jenna a brand new look. What do you think so far? Tune in to the show TOMORROW to see the final look! 🤩 #JennaandFriends ♬ original sound – TODAY with Jenna & Friends
Chris was excited to see Jenna Bush Hager’s new look and felt she was already looking sexier. However, Today viewers had to wait until Tuesday, June 17th, to see the final result. She walked out in a maxi plaid dress, with Leslie Bibb by her side, and wowed the audience.

Easing Her Fears
Although Jenna Bush Hager was ready to rock this drastic transformation, she was also eased in the comments. Today Show Style Editor Bobbie Thomas made it clear that if Jenna did not like her new look, it would grow. Plus, she had access to hair extensions and anything and everything to bring her back to her old self. However, it was time Jenna embraced the style, and everyone around her appeared very supportive. They loved seeing her try something new and different, which could inspire others:
- JENNA!! I love it!! 🤩❤️
- It’s so cute! Keep it!
- I love it, Jenna. You look so sophisticated!
- It looks amazing! Loving the bob on Jenna!! ❤️
Now, Jenna’s bob was not as short or sleek as Leslie Bibb’s, but rather much fluffier. She also was not as dressed up as hot as Leslie, who wore a sexy spaghetti strap dress. Regardless, there was so much praise for the Today with Jenna & Friends host and how beautiful she looked. Some even felt that Jenna rocked the bob better than Leslie. They felt that Leslie’s was too short, but Jenna’s was just right.
What do you think of Jenna Bush Hager’s new sexy bob, and is she rocking it well? Or do you prefer her with the longer hair? Finally, who wore it better: Jenna or Leslie? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
