10 Times NBC Newscaster Dylan Dreyer Rocked Leggy Looks

If you live on the Northeastern part of the U.S., then you probably recognize Dylan Dreyer. Since graduating from Rutgers University with a bachelor's degree in meteorology in 2003, the New Jersey native has worked at television stations throughout Pennsylvania and New England before landing at NBC in New York City in 2012. Since then, Dreyer isn't only a regular on "Today," but she's covered the 2018 Winter Olympics and hosted the 2022 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

In addition to her professional resume, Dreyer also has a flare for fashion and choosing looks that showcase her lethal legs, for which she's worked incredibly hard. In June 2025, Dreyer revealed on Instagram that she'd completed 42 days of the SotoMethod workout routine, calling it her "absolute favorite [...] flexible, tough, effective, [and] fun." Dreyer also works out at home whenever she can, explaining on "Today" (via Hello! Magazine) in July 2025, "I'll be walking [my dog] Bosco and all of a sudden I'll just break out into lunges[,] or I'm watching TV and I'll stand up and do some squats."

Having hosted the Kentucky Derby 12 times, Dreyer's attire for the event has become iconic — unlike the fashion nightmare that the Kentucky Derby can sometimes be for celebrities. But while Dreyer knows to keep it prim and proper for the Derby, she's not afraid to rock leggy looks when the occasion calls for it. If you've missed these moments, don't worry — we've got you. Dreyer knows how to show off her gams in ways that will inspire you to do the same.

Rocking a mini skirt on the golf course

In July 2025, Dylan Dreyer attended the American Century Championship in Lake Tahoe, looking stylish in her khaki mini skirt, white shirt, and sneakers. Dreyer was introduced to golf by her now-ex-husband Brian Fichera. "Oh, I would not be playing if Brian had been the only one teaching me," Dreyer told Golf Digest in March 2023. "It's a slow process picking it up a little later in life, but now I'm hooked." Because Dreyer is quite the golf enthusiast, that also means she knows how to look good while also staying comfortable. If getting leggy on the golf course is the best way to lower your golf handicap, per Dreyer, then we believe her.

Showing some leg despite the frigid temperatures

In January 2026, Dylan Dreyer was spotted at the "Today" show wearing a fantastic blue coat, navy heels, and a skirt that showed a decent amount of leg — something that you simply have to master if you live in New York long enough. Winter in New York City is exceptionally brutal when it comes to temperatures, but Dreyer also knows audiences don't show up at Rockefeller Plaza at the crack of dawn or watch from the comforts of their home to see someone of her star power in a full-length down coat. Instead, they want to see some fashion, humor, and wit — all of which Dreyer has in the bag.

Proving she has legs just like Pink

In perhaps one of her greatest leggy looks ever, Dylan Dreyer dressed up as pop superstar Pink in October 2023 for the Halloween-themed "Today" episode. Rocking a bedazzled bodysuit with a pink cropped jacket, paired with some pink and black boots, Dreyer looked very much like the real-life hitmaker while showing off her legs in ways she had not done before on television. Clearly, in addition to being an avid golfer, Dreyer is no stranger to working on those gams. This is also your friendly reminder that you can never go wrong with an iconically fashionable female character for your Halloween costume.

Taking a little inspo from Angelina Jolie's leg slit seen around the world

When it comes to showing a little leg, there's no subtler and sexier way to do it than with a thigh-high slit in a gown. In February 2023, Dylan Dreyer walked the runway for the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women Red Dress Collection Concert and not only stunned, but showed she's not afraid to take a bit of a fashion risk with that gorgeous plunging neckline and slit that hit just above her knee. Dreyer completed the look with minimal jewelry and a pair of silver chrome pumps, proving that for some celebs over 40, style gets better with age.

Wearing the right shoes to lengthen her lethal legs

Not everyone can pull off a leggy look, but still look sweet and demure at the same time. However, that's exactly what Dylan Dreyer was capable of when she attended the 42nd Annual Gracie Awards Luncheon in June 2017. Rocking a classic bob, which also happens to be a chin-length haircut that delivers a bold new look on anyone, Dreyer looked absolutely precious. For the luncheon, Dreyer also made the very wise choice of pairing her hot pink dress with nude heels that not only gave her the appearance of being taller, but lengthened her legs too.

Going for a monochromatic look for Tarantino

When Dylan Dreyer attended the New York City premiere of Quentin Tarantino's "The Hateful Eight" in December 2015, she opted for a winning monochromatic outfit that showed off her impressive sense of style and toned legs. For the premiere, Dreyer wore a black wrap mini skirt, a black top, seriously fierce heeled ankle boots, and black nylons. It's not only giving some major femme fatale vibes, but Dreyer looks both casual and chic — exactly how you want to roll when attending a premiere of a film in which you're not the star.

Opting for playful meets professional

For the 6th Annual Playground Committee Luncheon in March 2022, Dylan Dreyer (here with David Burtka) looked equal parts playful and professional. Not only is the design of this dress a lot of fun — we have a bit of puffed sleeve going on, after all — but the cut is perfect for Dreyer, especially when it comes to showing off a little above-the-knee leg action. While some might pair this dress with black heels, Dreyer went with a dark magenta, which really brought the whole look together in a seamless way.

Proving matching your belt to your shoes is the way to go

During an episode for "Today" in August 2022, Dylan Dreyer (here with colleagues Savannah Guthrie and Jacob Soboroff) not only dressed for the weather, but also showed off her bronzed legs. Although putting two contrasting colors like coral and white together may look awkward on some, Dreyer knew how to fix that by dividing the shirt and skirt with a black belt that matched her black heeled sandals. It's a simple look, but absolutely works in both color and cuts of the pieces she's wearing — no one wants tight clothing during New York City summer!

Keeping the leg-bearing look classy in navy

In April 2018, Dylan Dreyer attended the Matrix Awards at the Sheraton New York Times Square. For the event, she went with a navy mini dress that had bell sleeves, which she paired with black pumps. Although Dreyer wasn't nominated for an award — the event celebrates women in communications and media – she still knew how to dress for the occasion (which, of course, meant a little bit of leg). When attending these types of ceremonies, especially if you're not nominated, navy is always a great go-to color. Navy is the ideal shade of blue for both formal and business occasions, meaning you can't go wrong choosing it.

Staying forever fashionable on the golf course

Although it's hard to tell if Dylan Dreyer is sighing in relief or disappointment over her shot at the 14th hole on the second day of the 2023 American Century Championship. However, one thing is for sure: She looks fabulous, rocking another mini skirt with a matching tank top. Even if Dreyer loses, at least she can go home knowing that her outfit was probably one of the best on the course that day — all while showing off her sun-kissed legs. According to NBC News, Dreyer has a 25 handicap which, although not great, isn't exactly bad (the lowest handicaps by the most elite golfers are under 10).
