Today Show host Savannah Guthrie recently apologized for a “wardrobe malfunction” that occurred during a live broadcast from her home. While juggling work and childcare, Guthrie accidentally wore her red and black patterned blouse backward. She shared a picture of the blouse’s tag scratching her chin on Instagram, humorously acknowledging the mistake. Her early morning schedule likely contributed to the oversight.
Guthrie’s experience is not unique among media personalities working from home. BBC reporter Liz Beacon, for instance, had to use electrical tape and clips to keep her dress closed after its zipper broke just moments before going on air.
Similarly, journalist Fiona Willan once forgot to put one arm through her gown for an event, a mishap that was captured in photos and became widely noticed.
As the pandemic continues to impact daily life, it remains uncertain when Guthrie and others can fully return to their traditional studio settings due to rising COVID-19 cases, particularly in the American South. Despite the wardrobe mishap, Guthrie’s dedication to her work remains evident, prompting reflection on whether viewers would have noticed the mistake if she hadn’t mentioned it.
