Let's hear it for the bob
Bouncy, bold and literally cutting-edge, bob hairstyles have long served as a statement look. So when Jenna Bush Hager had her hair cut above her shoulders live on the 'Today' show last month, she said the blunt haircut 'inspired the country.'
'It's so cool,' Leslie Bibb of 'The White Lotus' exclaimed, clapping and squealing as Chris McMillan, the Beverly Hills celebrity stylist, clipped Hager's hair. The 'Today' show referred to Bibb's style as the 'blunt bob,' although McMillan earlier named it the 'c---y little bob' when he cut Bibb's hair, using a word that's considered either an obscenity or an endearing descriptor depending on the context — and somehow became a provocative way to explain the off-putting attitudes of women who wear the haircut.
