Kelly Clarkson Debuts Chopped Bob Hair Transformation

by

Kelly Clarksonhas decided to break away from her long locks.

When the artist known for “Behind These Hazel Eyes” revealed that she would be back on The Voice in Spring 2026 for season 29, she also unveiled a new hairdo – a shorter hairstyle with side-swept darker strands instead of her usual long, blonde waves.

In a July 22 Instagram post, Kelly was joined by returning coaches John Legend and Adam Levine. She wore a shoulder-length bob hairstyle, donned a casual white button-up shirt with a loose collar, paired it with black trousers, and completed the look with sleek black pumps.

For this season,” the 43-year-old hinted, “we’ve prepared a few surprises for you. Stay tuned and prepare yourselves.

Furthermore, Kelly, who has children River Rose (11) and Remington Alexander (9) with former husband Brandon Blackstock, appears to have changed her hairstyle. However, she is not the only one in the NBC family to go for a haircut this summer as others have also made similar choices.

Last month, the morning show “Today With Jenna & Friends” saw its host, Jenna Bush Hager, get a bold new look inspired by guest co-host Leslie Bibb’s iconic bob hairstyle. This transformation was carried out live on air.

In a recent episode on June 17th, as I unveiled my new do, I shared with the enchanting actress from White Lotus, “This is my take on your iconic hairstyle.” A sense of familiarity washed over me, reminiscent of the ’90s film Single White Female, where one attempts to emulate another so fervently. You’ve made this haircut a sensation, and I had the privilege of working with your renowned hairstylist to achieve an identical look. It leaves me feeling somewhat peculiar.

Initially, the ex-First Daughter might have had some reservations, but Chris McMillan, the stylist responsible for Jenna’s fresh cut and also known for creating Jennifer Aniston’s famous “The Rachel” hairstyle from Friends, emphasized that this season is all about sporting shorter tresses.

Last month, a stylist told TopMob News that for the summer, people are opting to have their hair cut above the shoulders into a style often referred to as a “chop”. The stylist explained that this drastic change can initially look harsh but will grow out over time, resulting in healthier and more vibrant hair. They added that with this new style, you’ll eliminate split ends, remove any unhealthy sections, and even add some layers, which can be likened to a fresh start or revitalization for your hair.
