Buckle up — it’s a bob girl summer.

First popularized by movie legend Mary Thurman in the 1920s, “the bob” has rapidly made its way onto almost every star-studded scene and red carpet over the last year. From Hailey Bieber to Zendaya and even Nicole Kidman, there’s been no shortage of stars who haven’t taken the plunge, chopping their long ends into a blunt cut above the shoulders. Some like Selena Gomez have kept their ends trimmed just in line with their shoulders, while others like Keke Palmer have stuck to traditional measures, clipping their hair chin-length and even adding micro fringe à la Anna Wintour.

Leslie Bibb, a long-standing bob supporter (might as well call her Leslie Bob), is careful not to let her ends get too close to her collarbone, noticeably subscribing to a “the shorter, the better” mindset. As a top model for the hairstyle, Bibb’s also influenced other women in the A-list echelon. On Tuesday, she brought her hair artist Chris McMillan on the “Today Show,” convincing Jenna Bush Hager to let him give her a bob — she was successful.
