6 Savannah Guthrie Outfits That Meant More Than We Realized

Audiences have been starting their day with Savannah Guthrie for years, as she co-anchors the "Today" show. Guthrie has made a complete transformation during her time on the show, evolving into a mother, author, and style maven. She is known for her versatile sense of fashion which typically includes dresses, suits, and ensembles that are playful and feminine while still maintaining a level of professionalism. And some of her outfits stand out for significant reasons, as they hold a deeper meaning for Guthrie. Whether a salute to her loved ones or an attempt to change the public perception of acceptable women's fashion, Guthrie isn't shy about channeling the things she is most passionate about with her clothing.      

Oftentimes during the year, Guthrie will dress in accordance with a holiday or celebration taking place. For example, she's worn elegant pink and red dresses to channel love on Valentines Day. And when it comes to Halloween, no one goes all out like the hosts of "Today." Guthrie has also shared that she loves to swap outfits with co-host Jenna Bush Hager and has even recommended wardrobe options for her fellow anchors. But when Guthrie dresses with a specific intention, she wears her heart on her sleeve and her outfits alike. Guthrie takes fashion to the next level by showing how it can be made personal and meaningful. 

After two months off the air following her mother's disappearance in early 2026,Savannah Guthrie returned to "Today" in a yellow dress that meant more than you knew. Since the 1970s, yellow ribbons have been used to represent hope when a person goes missing. Guthrie fully embraced the sunshiny color by wearing a gown decorated with yellow florals, while her fellow anchors wore yellow ribbons on their lapels throughout the search. The bright color and bloom pattern made it clear that Guthrie was choosing to be optimistic about her mother's return. 

Savannah Guthrie's life has changed since she joined the "Today" show squad in 2011, but one garment in her closet has remained a constant: her favorite blue and white dress. Guthrie has admitted to wearing the dress every year since 2012, and viewers look forward to seeing her in the gown that illustrates sunny skies with cloud-like puffs throughout. One commenter on Instagram said, "I find it cool all of you rewear things. It makes you guys more real!" Another fan commented about the dress, "That's what makes a classic! Never goes out of style!!!"

At New York Fashion Week in 2013, celebrities donned their finest red dresses to support an important cause. A fashion show was held on behalf of The Heart Truth, an initiative to spread awareness about heart disease and its effect on women. Savannah Guthrie walked down the runway in a stunning and slimming off-the-shoulder red gown. The topic hit home for Guthrie, as her father passed away after suffering a heart attack at a mere 49 years old. While paying tribute to her father's memory, Guthrie inspired others to keep their health top of mind.  

In 2018, "Today" co-hosts responded to a study that recommended jeans should not be worn past the age of 53. Savannah Guthrie vehemently disagreed, insisting that jeans have no age limit. Guthrie was 46 at the time when she declared, "I plan to wear jeans for many decades." Guthrie was adamant that age is just a number, and the tips for wearing jeans when you're over 60 from our stylist prove exactly that. 

When Savannah Guthrie was pregnant with her first child in 2014, she strived to wear maternity clothes that felt fresh and current rather than old-fashioned. Guthrie began to notice that online commenters were critical of women who wore silhouettes that were shaped to their bump. She responded by explaining why she enjoyed wearing body-hugging garments while pregnant. She felt that instead of masking pregnant stomachs with oversized clothing, showing off the reality of pregnant bodies celebrates the miracle of creating life. Guthrie added that expectant mothers deserve to feel beautiful in every trimester (via Today).

In 2025, Savannah Guthrie sat down with legendary rock musician Jon Bon Jovi for an exclusive interview. She dressed the part when the interview aired by walking onto the "Today" show stage in pleather pants that hugged her legs, and matching black studded platform heels. It turns out that Guthrie and Bon Jovi have been friends for years, and her wardrobe was likely a nod to her buddy's rock star status. Unfortunately, Guthrie suffered a wardrobe malfunction while wearing the tight pants, ripping a hole in the knee of the garment.
