Fans Are Calling Jenna Bush Hager's Choppy 'Summer Bob' Her Best Look Yet
In May 2026, celebrity hairstylist Chris McMillan, who is responsible for some of Glam's favorite celebrity hair moments from the '90s, including "The Rachel," made his fifth appearance on "Today" to talk summer hair trends. The stylist came not only to talk, but also to show. He took one of the hottest 2026 hair trends that needs to be on your radar, the blunt bob, and delivered the look on Jenna Bush Hager. McMillan took the co-host's hair from a shoulder-grazing lob up to chin length, calling it a "summer bob" in the caption of his video showing the process. Not only did Bush Hager love the fresh chop, but so did fans.
Under the Instagram post of McMillan cutting the co-host's hair, fans rushed to the comment section to deliver their praise. "Keep it this length!!!! It looks absolutely stunning on you! So youthful looking!" one wrote about Bush Hager's chop. Another fan added, "Perfect summer cut." Yes, the beauty of the bob is that it looks chic, keeps hair off the neck in hot temps, and can be styled in different ways from wavy to straight, depending on your texture and external factors like humidity.
Jenna Bush Hager has had her hair cut on TV before
Chris McMillan may be most famously associated with Jennifer Aniston's hair, but he's also the mane man behind several other viral celeb hairstyles, including Leslie Bibb's "White Lotus" bob. Jenna Bush Hager even acknowledged that Bibb, who was a guest co-host on "Today" in 2025, inspired her to get the chop in June of that year. Prior to this, the former first daughter was wearing her hair long, just past shoulder length. As part of Jenna Bush Hager's stunning style transformation, she let McMillan do what he does best, and chop several inches of hair off her long locks. Live on "Today," he gave her a modern bob, which was more blunt with few layers.
It was a similar blunt style to the bob he trimmed up in May '26, but just a little longer. Though Bush Hager emerged onto the "Today" set to applause following her June haircut, it seems many fans prefer the shorter style of 2026. "Always said it should be shorter," one wrote in the comments about Bush Hager's updated 'do. "She has the jaw line." Leslie Bibb also had something to say about Bush Hager's most recent cut. The actor commented on McMillan's Instagram, writing, "... you are going shorter ... love it yes yes yes."
