Lauren Sanchez is known for her long brunette locks but the former TV personality has gone for a gorgeous change, chopping off her hair for a stunning new lob.
The long bob made its debut as she attended President Joe and Jill Biden’s state dinner, honoring Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida on Wednesday April 10. Lauren turned heads in a striking red Rasario gown worth $2,200, but when she shared the look on social media, it was her new hair that got her celebrity friends talking.

Jessica Alba, Paris Hilton, Nina Dobrev and Salma Hayek all commented with fire emojis or heart emojis.
The new look for Lauren may have been inspired by a conversation with her trusted hair stylist Olivia Halpin, a member of Lauren’s glam squad. Olivia played a pivotal role in launching spaces for Rachel Zoe’s ‘DreamDry’ salons in New York and Chicago, and she is well known for collaborations with high-fashion bridal designers like Oscar de la Renta and Vera Wang.

The couple, who got engaged last year, visited the country with their children: Lauren is mom to eldest son Nikko, 22, with former NFL tight end Tony González, as well as Ella, 16, plus her older brother Evan, 17, with Hollywood agent and Endeavor founder Patrick Whitesell, her husband from 2005 to 2019.
Meanwhile, Amazon founder Jeff shares four kids with ex-wife MacKenzie Bezos, three sons and a daughter, though only their oldest son’s name, Preston, is publicly known. They were married from 1993 to 2019.
