NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Hoda Kotb has hinted at going for a different look. The co-host of ‘Today’ show shared that though she had stuck to her easy look for years now, she’s open to change.

On Tuesday, December 19, episode, she discussed Trisha Yearwood’s hairstyle and agreed that hairstyle truly transforms the entire look.

"I love how a haircut can kind of transform everything," co-host Jenna Bush Hager addressed the audience before Kotb joined in.

"It made us want to walk through your shoes for a little bit," she said. Both noticed Kotb's hairstyle before the 59-year-old herself put out the obvious question, "Why don't I ever change my hair?"



 

 

Jenna candidly asked if she was ready to give her hairstyle a try, to which Kotb responded, "Here's the thing: I actually tried to [do a different part] with [moving] the part from this side to this side one year."

"I think it was because people were saying at home that when I was talking, you can't see me because of hair in the front like that. So they said, 'Can you switch it?' So I tried to switch the part, and then I was off balance," she said.

However, the senior host said that she may go for something different in the coming year. "I think we should try something new because you know what? Life can't always be the same," Kotb told her co-host.

"Would you do a bang?" Bush Hager asked her in response. Kotb replied saying she was sure she wouldn’t go for bangs.



 

Hoda Kotb admits re-wearing her clothes

Recently, she admitted that she likes to re-wear her clothes on the show. "I have seven things I love and they're going to get a workout. I’m a re-wearer, and I don’t know if it’s a disaster, but it’s certainly my style," she said.

Kotb is also obsessed with chocolates as she told People, “Trader Joe’s Ice Cream Bon Bons. At the end of dinner, my kids say, 'Can I have our chocolate round thing?' There’s a tray of them, and last night I just started popping them. I was like, 'This is what heaven is.'"
