Jenna Bush Hager Weighs In on Kris Jenner’s New Look Debate
Jenna Bush Hager shares her perspective on the public’s response to Kris Jenner’s trending new appearance.
“I think Kris looks stunning,” Bush Hager, 43, remarked on the Thursday, May 29, episode of Today With Jenna & Friends. “It’s interesting that in today’s world we focus on women’s appearances [in] such a manner.”
Thursday’s guest cohost, Justin Sylvester, concurred. “When someone appears a little different, people are curious, they want to know, and celebrities feel pressured to disclose what they’ve done,” he stated. “But I want to remind everyone, they aren’t obligated to share. … Let’s stop asking celebrities about their procedures. But seriously, can you share because you look fabulous.”
Bush Hager pointed out that many guests on her Today show have discussed their experiences with aging and their choices regarding cosmetic enhancements. Regarding her own family, Bush Hager mentioned that her mother, former first lady Laura Bush, has engaged in “very minimal” skincare interventions over the years.
“She was always a shopper at the drugstore. Eckerds was her go-to for makeup,” Bush Hager noted. “She’s upgraded a bit since then. She doesn’t wear much makeup, and my grandmother was similar.”
Sylvester, 38, believed it was “fantastic” that Bush Hager grew up around people who embraced aging gracefully. Bush Hager responded that “aging gracefully can take many forms.”
Sylvester also shared his own experiences with Botox. “I strive for transparency about my cosmetic procedures on social media,” he explained. “I’m not a gatekeeper.”
Bush Hager chimed in that her approach to skincare includes washing her face and applying generous amounts of moisturizer and sunscreen. “I probably get a facial once every two and a half to three years,” she said before telling Sylvester, “You have a better regimen than I do.”
Earlier this month, Jenner, 69, gained attention for her youthful appearance while out with daughter Kim Kardashian in Paris. Although details of her specific enhancements are not disclosed, Us Weekly has confirmed that New York-based plastic surgeon Dr. Steven Levine is the one behind her new look.
According to his website, Dr. Levine is known for utilizing “the latest techniques to achieve the most natural-looking outcomes.” His offerings include chin augmentations, facelifts, blepharoplasties (eyelid lifts), neck lifts, and rhinoplasties.
Jenner has previously been open about her cosmetic work, including a documented earlobe reduction on Keeping Up With the Kardashians in 2018. The following year, she gifted Botox vouchers to her friends and family.
“For me, [Botox has] been really effective,” she told People in December 2019. “If you’re responsible and consult your doctor, I think it’s beneficial. It’s something I’ve used for a long time.”
