A haircut prepared by none other than celebrity stylist Chris McMillan left Savannah Guthrie with fresh strands of hair. The host had General debut their chic lob cut (“Le LOB”) with infectious excitement in an uplifting post on the morning show’s official account. The haircut speaks so loudly for the utter transformation and for the beloved presenter from the morning show who took everyone by surprise.

The scene captured on the cutting-edge looks of Jenna & Friends gives off an almost unmistakably happy vibe. Guthrie was just aglow with joy for her new hair, while McMillan stood cheekily smiling beside her, running his fingers through the new cut. In front were claw-type hair tools, and in the atmosphere of a salon studio, their lively camaraderie captured the phrase about friendship and a fun makeover.
The reaction took no time as viewers poured praises over this change. One user stated, “Noticed right away when I tuned in. Looks great!!!” Another exclaimed, “This looks SOOOOO much better,” stating how the style banger the mark.
Of course, not everyone was so warm toward the change-they even suggested it was still due for an upgrade. “Finally, a decent haircut! today fix her wardrobe,” one brutally honest comment read, as if saying this might just be step one towards a rebirth of Guthrie’s style. Another agreed with the sentiment: “It could even be shorter. It’s a start though & I’m glad you did it!”
At least one follower was curious enough about the look to pose him a question: “@mrchrismcmillan what do I tell my hairstylist to get this haircut?” Clearly, Guthrie hair is inspiring.
Two comments stood out amidst the hair commentary for being both heartfelt and insightful. An adoring fan conjectured, “If there was ever someone who was genuinely thrilled with her daily life it would be Savannah! So happy she could be appreciated and doted on for a bit.” The comment touches something that transcends the haircut-a recognition of Guthrie’s ever-cheerful brightness and the happiness that she has bestowed upon her audience.
Chris McMillan has been acquainted with A-listers and has done signature cuts of his own (remember The Rachel?), one more added to that pantheon in an instant thanks to his very presence. Just by being there, this Baden carpenter knew they were making American celeb-grooming history; Guthrie was in on it, too. It’s more than a haircut; it’s a statement.
A style change for a weatherwoman that has been around for some years, usually stylish but approachable, is today polished but very fresh and modern. A lob that is perfectly hers—balanced and able to rock movement.
Say what you like about broadcast journalism and beauty, but image and image changes in that world are a very big offer. For Guthrie, she gets a makeover on the road to put a spin on her warm and relatable brand. The reaction shows that the change was embraced, whole-heartedly, by the viewers.
These are the kinds of changes that get everyone talking and gossiping-new meanings, new looks, and new styles to come. For today, Savannah Guthrie’s new lob is making big moves, effortlessly assisting its rapid-fire transformation into serious haircut currency beyond just being a trim, mood, moment, and conversation starter.

Whether it goes on to become her signature cut or just another funny chapter in the books is blink-and-you’ll-miss-it, but one thing is clear: Savannah is on the lob and the audience is on the lob.
