In an unexpected twist during the 2024 Paris Olympics, Hoda Kotb, the beloved Today show host, nearly experienced a wardrobe malfunction that could have interrupted her coverage of the global event. The incident unfolded live on air, adding a dash of unplanned excitement to the morning broadcast.
On Monday, July 30, the 59-year-old journalist was in the middle of a live segment alongside co-host Savannah Guthrie when her yellow sundress gave way at a critical seam below the bust. The potential for a major fashion mishap loomed large as the camera rolled, capturing every moment of the unfolding drama.
Quick to respond, Today's personal stylist, Kaitlin Vickery, sprang into action. With a stapler in hand, she skillfully secured the fabric, allowing Kotb to fasten her matching yellow belt and continue the broadcast without missing a beat.
The TV personality took to Instagram to share the lighthearted moment with her 2.5 million followers, posting a video of the quick fix with the caption, "Wardrobe malfunction—nothing that a stapler can't fix! Thx @kaitlinvictory." The post quickly attracted a flurry of supportive and amused comments from fans.
"It's good to have a stapler handy," one fan wrote, capturing the sentiment of many. Others praised Kotb's spirit, with comments like, "She is the real deal. Love her spirit," and "The most realistic person! Love this!!" Another fan added, "You are amazing 🤩 love your attitude!" mirroring the widespread admiration for her positivity.
Despite the wardrobe scare, Kotb's time in Paris has been filled with unforgettable encounters and cultural experiences. She delighted in meeting several Team USA athletes and even enjoyed a culinary treat from none other than Ina Garten.
But that's not all for the adventures of this mom of two in Paree — meeting Tom Cruise topped her dream list. She captured the moment with the 62-year-old movie icon on a rain-drenched bridge, both beaming despite the downpour. "Do you know when you dream of meeting Tom Cruise... And then it finally happens," Kotb mused in her Instagram caption, sharing their soggy selfie on Friday, July 26.
