As a lifestyle expert with a background in fashion and television production, I can’t help but appreciate the unexpected moment of reality that unfolded during Hoda Kotb’s live broadcast from Paris for the Olympics. The wardrobe malfunction she experienced, although an embarrassing situation, is a reminder that even the most prepared among us can encounter unforeseen mishaps.


1) Today on the live broadcast from Paris for the rescheduled 2024 Olympics, Hoda Kotb experienced a significant wardrobe issue during her hosting duties. The event had to delay the men’s triathlon due to concerns about the Seine River’s water quality.

On Tuesday, while broadcasting live with her co-host Savannah Guthrie, Hoda, aged 59, unfortunately encountered a personal mishap. The yellow sundress she wore split unexpectedly, right below her bust line, bringing her close to the need for an entire wardrobe swap.

Instead: Kaitlin Vickery, a fashion stylist today, swiftly mended a midi-length outfit for a mother of two with a stapler.

1. In a swift move, Hoda neatly fastened the coordinating yellow belt onto the dress, followed by a lively high-five with Kaitlin. Back to her hosting role, she reunited with her longtime friend Savannah, who’s 52 years old.

Sharing a funny video of an accidental wardrobe mishap on Instagram, she labeled it: “Oops, a quick fashion fix with a stapler – thanks, Kaitlin Victory!”

And her 2.5 million followers were quick to comment on the post. 

‘Great hack,’ one person said, while another admitted: ‘Teacher here – stapler works every time!’

A third fan expressed their appreciation by saying, “I admire your thought process, ma’am!” Meanwhile, a fourth fan playfully awarded, “@kaitlinvity with a gold medal for that.”

As an obsessed fan of Hoda, I can’t help but express my agreement with these comments. When someone praises her as “the most realistic person!” I feel a strong connection, as if we share the same appreciation for her authenticity. And when another fan adds “she is the real deal,” my heart swells with admiration for her spirit. These words resonate deeply within me and reinforce my admiration for Hoda.

The TV host is truly enjoying her time in Paris and had an opportunity to interact with some Team USA athletes on Tuesday. Later, she, Savannah, and Craig Melvin invited Ina Garten to their makeshift studio in Paris for a visit.

Before the audience saw Hoda and Savannah in can-can costumes, the threesome enjoyed a preview of fresh bread and French cheese selected by Ina, who is 76 years old, as their appetizer.

As the pair donned the frilled skirts in red, white, and blue, Savannah complained they felt ‘hefty’, while Hoda confessed she struggled to take a breath in her skirt.

After that, the women had an opportunity to show off on stage and tried to execute the essential high kicks. However, things didn’t quite work out smoothly as Hoda humorously remarked: “This is a piece of cake!”

When the dancers shared with us, Hoda and I, that a significant aspect of their performance involves the famous “can-can scream,” we couldn’t help but comply. I admit, I was eagerly anticipating this moment, and as they requested, Hoda and I let out our best screams. Later on, Hoda exclaimed with a grin, “It truly does release something inside!”

In the afternoon, Hoda and Savannah joined Craig and Al Roker for a meeting with the Moulin Rouge cast, including a backstage encounter prior to the performance.

1) On Tuesday morning, the quartet invited three dancers onto their program and conducted live interviews with them, all set against the iconic backdrop of the Eiffel Tower. They playfully suggested that Hoda and Savannah might be preparing to dance alongside them on stage for a genuine performance.

I was truly impressed by all of your dynamic dance moves and athletic abilities, not to mention your captivating personalities. It was a real joy for me to spend time with each and every one of you. Hoda even praised Ali for his exceptional guiding skills.
