Savannah Guthrie Remains The Queen Of A Good Costume And These Pics Prove It

When it comes to nailing Halloween looks, the "Today" show hosts can't be beat. No, we're not counting the time they dressed up as Peanuts characters, which were celebrity costumes so bad it's scary. Savannah Guthrie, in particular, goes all-out on this spooky day, and fans never know what she'll come up with. Turns out, when she first started, her on-air costumes were a surprise until the day of. "I have no information. None at all. I'm the new girl, and I just feel like I'm probably going to end up in something really crazy," she told "Today."

It seems Guthrie has always had a love for Halloween. In an adorable throwback pic shared to Instagram in October 2025, she is seen in a princess costume with a plastic mask that the '80s were known for. Since then, the anchor has totally stepped up her game, and we're sure the longtime host gets a say on what she gets to wear by now. There's no shortage of her best getups, and several of Guthrie's amazing costumes definitely made it on our list of faves.

In 2025, Savannah Guthrie wore an outfit that showed off her lethal legs when she showed up for the Halloween show at "Today" as Miranda Priestly from "The Devil Wears Prada." She completely nailed the look with a short gray wig, an A-line coat, and sky-high pumps, looking exactly like Meryl Streep in the film. Her co-host, Jenna Bush Hager, dressed as the former real-life Vogue editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour, whom the character is erroneously thought to be based on. Looking at the pair's icy expressions, their method acting was on point.

Elle Woods' iconic pink outfit from "Legally Blonde" has been recreated by many, but we think no one committed to it as well as Savannah Guthrie in 2024. From the bright pink leather jacket and matching skirt to the chihuahua stuffie that was supposed to be Woods' pup, Bruiser, Guthrie looked ready to "bend and snap." The Halloween costume made enough of a wave to get Reese Witherspoon's attention, and in an Instagram post shared by the "Today" show, the actor commented, "Approved." If the OG Woods gave her a nod, that means the 'fit was fire.

We got chills, and they're multiplying! Savannah Guthrie teamed up with her "Today" show co-host, Carson Daly, in 2019 to dress up as Sandy and Danny from the retro musical, "Grease." However, instead of going for the innocent look that the Australian transfer student sported throughout most of the movie, Guthrie turned up the heat as "bad girl" Sandy in a black leather jacket and tight leggings. Meanwhile, Daly wore Danny's white varsity sweater over his all-black 'fit and even attached some sideburns to mimic John Travolta's. This is one couple's costume that never gets old.

"Today" anchor Savannah Guthrie's head-turning transformation in 2017 was completely jaw-dropping. We never would have guessed it was her underneath the gray wig and beard when she channeled superstar music icon, Kenny Rogers, complete with a bedazzled blue suit. In another gender-swapping moment, Matt Lauer morphed into country crooner Dolly Parton, although his distinct features clearly showed despite all that makeup. The pair really committed to their costumes, and Guthrie told E! News, "It's really fun ... we pour our hearts into it. I mean, it's not every day you get to stand up and pretend you're Kenny Rogers."

In one of her best Halloween looks yet, Savannah Guthrie was the spitting image of Taylor Swift in 2023. The anchor donned a long blond wig with bangs and a gorgeous multi-colored sequined bodysuit that resembled the one Swift wore during the "Lover" portion of her Eras Tour. Guthrie looked confident as she strutted her stuff on stage, but she admitted that the costume actually made her nervous. "It's a little embarrassing to wear a bathing suit on national television. I was like, 'please, can I have a Folklore robe to walk around in?'" she shared with Daily Mail.

Savannah Guthrie wasn't kidding when she predicted that the producers would put her in "something crazy" for her first Halloween on the "Today" show. The cast went as the Royal Family at Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding, with Matt Lauer and Ann Curry depicting the couple. Of course, someone had to go as King Charles III (the Prince of Wales at the time), and the producers chose none other than Guthrie. Dressed in full military gear and armed with a prosthetic nose, she looked fit for the crown. "Oh my gosh, that's hilarious!" she exclaimed, per Today.

Savannah Guthrie, Meredith Vieira, and Jenna Bush Hager proved you don't need a big budget for costumes — just some imagination and a good sense of humor. Their 2014 Halloween getup was a take from the hilarious 2003 "Saturday Night Live" skit that poked fun at the unflattering fit of mom jeans. We're not sure where the trio went to find the most dowdy clothes, but Guthrie's peach polo and bulky denim pants took the cake, especially with her short wig. We think the "SNL" vets would have been proud.
