Picture this: Jenna Bush Hager, the ever-charming cohost of NBC's "Today," found herself at the center of some lighthearted teasing from her costars recently. It all started when Jenna, rocking a bold black and white paisley-patterned ensemble, walked into the studio on Wednesday, February 5. Before the cameras even rolled, her colleagues couldn't help but poke fun at her fashion-forward choice.
Now, Jenna, who's 43 and known for her wit and warmth, wasn’t just wearing any outfit. This was a striking look that commanded attention. But before the fans at home could even catch a glimpse, her costars were already buzzing with playful jabs about her outfit choice. Jenna's vibrant style is something her fans have come to love, and it seems her colleagues couldn't resist joining in on the fun.
It was Al Roker, the weatherman with a knack for humor, who first set the tone. "Everybody’s talking about it," Al announced with a grin, "and we can’t wait until you see Jenna’s outfit." He couldn’t contain his enthusiasm, adding with a playful wink, "Her game has been upped!" Al's comment set the stage for what was to come.

Not one to be outdone, Savannah Guthrie chimed in, her eyes twinkling with mischief. "Don’t reveal yet! Don’t reveal yet! The fashion!" Savannah's excitement was palpable, and she was clearly enjoying every moment of the anticipation. The audience at home could feel the energy building as the hosts built up the reveal.
Carson Daly, ever the cool guy, added his own flair to the mix. "Her fit is lit," he declared, using a phrase that’s become popular among the younger generation. Carson's comment brought a chuckle from Jenna, who couldn't help but laugh at the playful banter.
Finally, Savannah introduced Jenna to the camera, and there she was—Jenna in all her stylish glory. "You guys, this morning, Jenna’s can’t-miss outfit and her morning boost," Savannah announced with flair. As the camera panned over to Jenna, Savannah couldn't help but add, "There she is! How cute does she look? You look great!"
Jenna, ever the good sport, sheepishly smiled as her costars applauded her outfit. "Thank you guys," she said with a grin before adding with mock seriousness, "This is harassment. Harassment! Harassment." Her comment had everyone laughing, and it was clear that Jenna was enjoying every moment of the playful teasing.

But the fun didn't stop there. Jenna later revealed on "Today With Jenna & Friends" that her costars had taken their teasing to a whole new level.

They said, ‘Wow, you look like a pack of cards.’"
Sean Hickey, ever the jester, defended himself by shouting, "A fashionable pack of cards!" His comment brought another round of laughter, and it was clear that Jenna's costars were having a field day with her outfit.

On the other hand, guest host Ego Nwodim was a fan of Jenna's look. "Thank you!" Jenna responded with a smile. "I was like, 'This is harassment.' But not really. They like to make fun of me!" Jenna's ability to take the teasing in stride is part of what makes her such a beloved figure on the show.
Bikinis vs. One-Pieces: Jenna Weighs In
Jenna's outfit wasn't the only fashion topic the "Today" hosts discussed this week. During the Tuesday, February 4, episode, Jenna and Ego talked about swimwear preferences. Ego, a fan of bikinis, was curious about Jenna's take on the matter. Jenna, who has three children—Mila, Poppy, and Hal with her husband Henry Hager—shared her preference for one-piece bathing suits.
"I just didn’t want you to think I was rocking a speedo, you know," Jenna joked. "I like a one-piece because it covers some areas that have seen some work—and by work, I mean children stretching it. But I like it to be sexy-ish." Jenna's honesty and humor made the segment both relatable and entertaining.
"But of course you should wear a bikini, you’re hot," Jenna added, showing her support for Ego's choice. Ego responded with grace, saying, "A one-piece is also acceptable, I’m not judging, and honestly I was torn on this one." The conversation highlighted the camaraderie between the two hosts and their ability to laugh at themselves.
Jenna previously defended her swimsuit preference in a similar discussion with former cohost Hoda Kotb. "Not all of us tan equally," Jenna quipped. "Some of us have stomachs that haven’t seen the light of day since I was 18! If that burns, how does that make my body feel? Not so good! Some of us also have a larger region right up here." Jenna's candid comments resonated with many viewers, showing that she's not just a cohost but a real person with real concerns.
Jenna concluded by saying, "We want to throw our kids in the air. When my bathing suit fell off, it scared people! So I like to be tight." Her humor and relatability are what make Jenna such a beloved figure on "Today," and her ability to laugh at herself only adds to her charm.
