Equal parts expert and everywoman, Thomas has created a one-of-kind niche in the style sphere as one of the few authorities out there who has truly done it all. While she is nationally recognized today for her work on television, in print and as the co-founder of Woosh® Beauty, Thomas began her career as a rape crisis counselor. This experience cemented her belief that "beauty truly comes from the strength within." It's why she has continued to share an intimate space with women as a "professional girlfriend" ever since. A seasoned member of the TODAY family for more than a decade, Thomas has been featured in over 500 style segments, sharing her tips, tricks, advice and expertise. Her popular "Bobbie's Buzz" series airs every week with Kathie Lee and Hoda.

Beyond the TV screen, Thomas connects directly with hundreds of thousands of followers through social media platforms and her website Bobbie.com. Prior to making her home at TODAY, Thomas stood out as the advice columnist for top-selling national teen magazines J-14 and Twist and was one of the first red-carpet correspondents on E! television.

Thomas' audience followed her to In Touch Weekly, where her column "The Buzz" covered Hollywood's hottest fashion and beauty must-haves every week for more than seven years. Then, as a popular E! Entertainment personality, she covered celebrity looks and joined the sister network, Style, to co-host their "Fashion Police" series. She has continued to be a coveted guest and trusted news source on a variety of television programming including "The View," "Extra," "Access Hollywood" and "Wendy Williams" as well as CNN, VH1, MTV and more.

Her best-selling book, "The Power of Style: Everything You Need to Know Before You Get Dressed Tomorrow," has been touted as a must-have resource to help women of all ages and backgrounds breathe new life into their personal wardrobes. In addition to her role on TODAY, Thomas works with a number of corporate brands and charities aimed at helping women feel beautiful from the inside out. She has partnered with organizations including The UN Foundation, Step Up, Make a Wish and RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association.

In 2013, Thomas co-founded Woosh® Beauty: a female owned and operated company dedicated to providing innovative and practical solutions to the very real beauty issues all women face. Woosh® Beauty officially launched in October 2015.

Bobbie was born in Rhode Island, grew up in Los Angeles and now lives in New York City with her husband Michael, their son Miles and their Chihuahua Chica.
