7 Times NBC's Dylan Dreyer Rocked Flashy Heels On-Air

There's one word that stubbornly refuses to take root in "Today" meteorologist Dylan Dreyer's fashion vocabulary, and it's "subtle." No shade on that: Though her on-air outfits occasionally get too inappropriate to live down, at least they're never boring. Whether she's reading the weather report or reaching new hat heights with her head-turning Kentucky Derby looks, Dreyer's always bright, colorful, and in a word, flashy. That certainly extends to her shoe game. 

Dreyer's frequently seen teetering around the NBC News set on boldly curved platforms and sky-high pumps, often in cheerful colors, glittering finishes, and shimmering metallics. Between strategic cut-outs and fascinating fasteners, she's got an eye for detail that matches her eye for storms. There's no doubt about it: As long as the network keeps her around, you'll never catch Dreyer in basic footwear, no matter how inclement the weather. After all, the shiny ones look pretty waterproof.

In December 2025, Dylan Dreyer appeared at a Connecticut event celebrating the launch of the book "All Is Calmish: How to Feel Less Frantic and More Festive During the Holidays" by her friend and frequent "Today Show" guest Niro Feliciano. That title may have been true for Feliciano, but all was bright for Dreyer, who dangled metallic gold pumps from her armchair perch onstage. They perfectly matched the festive atmosphere as well as Feliciano, who let her own holiday spirit shine in a sparkly jumpsuit.

Dylan Dreyer doesn't save all her color for the holidays. She shows it throughout the year, like when she appeared on a June 2024 episode of "Today" wearing pointy-toed pumps in a vivid hue of royal blue. Paired with a fluttery dress in the same shade, the effect was very News Media Barbie, in the best way possible. It may be the opposite of the doll's usual hot pink, but those stiletto heels and matchy aesthetic would be right at home in the toy aisle.

Dylan Dreyer's June blues were a brighter version of a look she rocked nine months earlier on an October 2023 episode of "Today." Midnight blue pumps can err a little too drab for Dreyer's taste, but the texture of these shoes ensures that every inch of their shiny finish catches the light, creating an effect that's literally the opposite of dull. She paired it with a dress in a similar shade of navy whose crochet details on the sleeve and hem likewise keep it fresh.

When it comes to color, Dylan Dreyer likes to mix it up, too. Way back in 2015, she accessorized an indigo shift dress with canary yellow heels supported by a thick platform curving into a steep toe spring. Dreyer must be a big fan of the pair, wearing the same or a similar one again in 2016 (this time with a teal drop-waist peplum dress) and in 2023, when the official TikTok account for "Today" declared Dreyer "our ray of sunshine" in her all-yellow outfit. Aww.

When Dylan Dreyer goes more high-coverage, she rarely chooses a bland Chelsea boot. When she committed to an upper ankle option on a March 2024 episode, for example, she went with a pair boasting an attention-getting, shiny satin finish. Combined with a small platform and heels as sharp as they are tall, the look is all Dreyer. She matched it with a puff sleeve button-down shirtdress in a fabric with a similar sheen, making her literally lustrous from head to toe.

You've heard of bandage dresses, now get ready to bandage boots. When ankle boots were on Dylan Dreyer's fashion agenda again later in August 2024, she selected a pair with shiny black layers that almost give the appearance that her feet are wrapped in electric tape. Fashion forward or fashion fail? You decide. This time, Dreyer eschewed the platform for a peep toe, proving once again that it's all about the details for her, though her heels remain as dangerous as ever.

Lace-up boots may sound as ho-hum as they come, but the pair Dylan Dreyer strolled onto the stage in a December 2023 episode of "Today" were far from ordinary. With no tongue to protect them, the tops of her feet showed through the laces, which appeared to be not pulled through eyelets but wound around studs punched into the outsides. Combined with leather pants and a similarly studded sweater, the look is pure edge. Corset boots may not be the next big footwear trend, but Dreyer's style is all her own anyway.
