Chappell Roan Debuts Her Shortest Haircut Yet at Olivia Rodrigo’s Daisy Chain Fields Music Festival

Whitney Leavitt is channeling her OG MomTok era.

Two years after the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star appeared on the Hulu reality show with a strawberry blonde bob—which she ditched by the second installment—she showed off her new, shorter haircut.

"Sorry, I'm late. It's been such a crazy day. Hi," Leavitt lip-synced the Euphoria audio in her Sept. 4 Instagram video. "You look amazing."

She began the clip sitting in a salon chair with her long tresses, then transitioned to fluffing the newly cut bob. The 33-year-old—who changed into an "I'm Connor Leavitt's wife" T-shirt for the transformation—captioned the post with a callback to her OG SLOMW look, writing, "she's backkkkkkkkkk!!!!!"

The new 'do was a fan favorite, with pal Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi commenting, "Bobs are so in." Meanwhile, her fellow SLOMW costar Mikayla Matthews simply wrote with a heart-eyes emoji, "AHHHHH."

Since growing out her hair, Leavitt—mom to kids Sedona, 6, Liam, 4, and Billy Gene, 23 months, with her husband of 10 years—has experimented with different hues of blonde, brown and red, though she hasn't taken off much length.

But it felt fitting for the Dancing With the Stars alum—whose stylist Cassadi Currier met her in Utah for the cut—to return to her roots. After all, she may have spent time in L.A. filming the dance competition and months in New York City while starring in Chicago, but her heart will always belong to the western state.

"I just feel like, in general, in Utah, there's this weird, you gotta be the best culture," she told Danielle Fishel on her Danielle With… podcast in November 2025. "I think it's with anything. I love the beauty industry there. I love anything. It's better in Utah. Getting my hair done, my makeup done, shopping, I just love it."

"There's pressure to be perfect and to always appear like you've got it all together," Leavitt added, but emphasized, "Everything's better in Utah."
