Jenna Bush Hager imagined how she would deal with her daughters going to prom.
Co-host Sheinelle Jones recalled seeing a group of girls out at a steakhouse “the other day” before their prom.
“The dresses have changed. They’re a little saucier now, right?” the 47-year-old questioned.
“Well, there’s a cutout or two,” Jenna noted.
“There’s a cutout or two…is it because of Instagram?” Sheinelle wondered.
Her costar explained how it’s “just the style” now, and they sound “real old” trying to understand.
“Our moms could’ve said the same things about us,” Jenna joked.
“I hope it swings back before [daughter] Clara, goes, because cutouts and all the things?” Sheinelle added.

Jenna pursed her lips and shook her head.
“We’re going to let them live out loud,” she said. “I mean, I don’t know, but we’ve got to let them feel free…believe me, she’s already pushing it, and I just go with it, and Henry feels a certain way. But it is what it is. That’s the style. You want them to feel good. I’d rather want them to feel good than uncomfortable in whatever outfit they’re in.”
