‘Today’ show co-hosts transform into iconic movie characters for Halloween: Austin Powers, Elle Woods and more
· New York PostThe “Today” team never disappoints with their Halloween costumes.
Hoda Kotb, Savannah Guthrie, Jenna Bush Hager, and the rest of the anchors of the NBC news program showed off their epic costumes to the world on Thursday’s broadcast.
The theme for this year was “”VHS Rewind.” The hosts paid homage to characters from iconic ‘90s and 2000s films including “Austin Powers,” “Legally Blonde,” and “Beetlejuice.”
Last year, the theme was “Kellyoke” — the iconic segment of the “Kelly Clarkson Show” where the “American Idol” alum sings covers of pop songs. The “Today” emcees wore costumes that looked like the hottest musicians in town, including Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, Sonny and Cher, and Pink.
But this year, the hosts went all out with their epic movie costumes.
