A Fashionable Revelation: Jenna Bush Hager Dons Daring Couture on The Tonight Show
When Jenna Bush Hager graced the stage of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last week, the co-host of Today caused an absolute style sensation. Appearing alongside her twin sister Barbara to promote their new book Love Comes First, Ms. Bush Hager captivated the audience with her unexpected high fashion ensemble that seemed to take cues from the leading ladies of 1950s cinema.
Channeling the rebellious spirit of Rizzo in Grease, Ms. Bush Hager slipped her frame into an positively bewitching black sleeveless bodysuit by Lela Rose. The sheer overlay dazzled with Art Deco inspired pearl and onyx bead embroidery, the embellishment trickling down the hips for a subtly provocative effect. Form fitting to every curve, the catsuit proved the perfect canvas to showcase Ms. Bush Hager’s svelte figure. Throwing an iconic gaze over her shoulder, she revealed the suit to be backless save for two bands across the shoulder blades, upping the dramatic allure.
On bottom, she donned high-waisted matte jersey pants with a single white tuxedo stripe running down the outer leg, pulled taut for a leg lengthening effect. The monochromatic styling highlighted her envy-inducing 5’9” frame. A bit of leopard print would not have felt out of place for this modern day Sandy homage.
In a delicate balancing act between elegant and edgy, Ms. Bush Hager accessorized with understated taupe suede stilettos and diamond drop earrings. Her voluminous mane was swept to the side in luscious retro waves, her features enhanced with a glowing complexion, fluttery mascara and rouge pout.
As evidenced by the audible gasp that enveloped the studio, Ms. Bush Hager’s breathtaking entrance left the crowd spellbound. The unexpectedly daring ensemble prompted thunderous applause from the audience.
Clearly quite chuffed with the sartorial statement, Mr. Fallon remarked, “Jenna, you look absolutely amazing! That outfit is fire!” Ever the gentleman, he took her hand and twirled her to showcase the stunning 360 degree effect of her couture, the jersey backless detail earning further cheers from the crowd.
Barbara Bush matched her sister’s gleeful energy in a vibrant pink mini shift while promoting their new tome to the playful host. But while the twins’ effervescent banter dazzled, for the fashion obsessed, Ms. Bush Hager’s high voltage look was the highlight of the evening.
In the subsequent days since her Late Night debut, style savants and Today show fans have inundated social media with commentary admiring her breathtaking style transformation.
“Love Jenna’s outfit!! 😍😍😍,” one fan aptly stated on Instagram. While another declared, “Jenna you look absolutely amazing in that outfit 🔥❤️.”
While Ms. Bush Hager has garnered attention for her feminine flair in the past, her au courant ensemble choice last Tuesday night established her as a true style icon in the making. Brava!
