Savannah Guthrie recently fulfilled a ’90s dream with a fresh haircut from famed celebrity stylist Chris McMillan. On September 11, McMillan, known for creating Jennifer Aniston’s iconic “the Rachel” hairstyle during her Friends days, gave Guthrie a new look. This connection isn’t lost on Guthrie, who has previously cited the famous hairstyle as an inspiration from her early reporting days in Arizona.
During his visit to the Today show, McMillan not only styled Guthrie but also gave fellow anchor Jenna Bush Hager a chic bob update, which he originally crafted live on TV a few months prior. McMillan’s busy morning didn’t stop there; he also transformed two fans’ hairstyles on Today with Jenna & Friends.
Expressing his joy on Instagram, McMillan shared his excitement about the morning’s makeovers. Guthrie also took to social media, celebrating her new look with a video and a playful caption, signaling her satisfaction with the transformation.
Interestingly, Guthrie’s new hairdo marks a departure from her significantly lighter blond hue, as she revealed her natural hair color is nearly black, reminiscing about her early career look.
This event highlights both Guthrie’s admiration for ’90s nostalgia and McMillan’s lasting influence in the world of celebrity hairstyling. Fans of Guthrie and the Today show can stay updated on moments like these and more by subscribing to PEOPLE’s free daily newsletter.
