Savannah Guthrie Turns to Instagram to Ask America Ferrera for a Fashion Favor
Here’s a story that’s part fashion, part friendship, and all heart. Savannah Guthrie, the charismatic cohost of the beloved morning show "Today," has taken to Instagram to make a bold and public request. This time, it’s not about breaking news or morning coffee chats—it’s about asking Hollywood darling America Ferrera if she could borrow her jaw-dropping 2024 Oscars dress. Now, that’s what I call thinking outside the box!
At 52 years old, Savannah shared a photo of America's stunning Oscars dress on her Instagram Stories. The caption was simple but impactful: “She is my best dressed vote.” And honestly, who could argue with that? America Ferrera, at 39, has always been a fashion icon, and this dress was nothing short of a masterpiece.
From Instagram Stories to a Bold Public Request
A few moments later, Savannah decided to take things a step further. She publicly asked America if she could borrow the dress for an event in April. "No, seriously. @americaferrera can I borrow this, I have something in April," Savannah captioned another photo of America’s pink Versace gown, adding a crying laughing emoji for good measure. It’s moments like these that remind us why we love Savannah so much—she’s authentic, relatable, and not afraid to be a little quirky.

Now, let’s talk about that dress. The "Barbie" actress wore a dazzling Versace chainmail gown to the annual Academy Awards on March 10. It was a night to remember, as she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress. Although the trophy ultimately went to Da’Vine Joy Randolph for her role in "The Holdovers," fans couldn’t help but rave about America's glamorous pink ensemble. It was the perfect way to wrap up the Barbie era, which dominated the box office and captured the hearts of audiences worldwide.

America’s stylist, Karla Welch, captioned a gorgeous video of her client’s look on Instagram with the phrase, “We thought we’d save the pink for last.” And save it, they did! Fans were quick to weigh in, with one person commenting, “Best look of the night,” and hundreds of others agreeing. It’s no surprise, really. This wasn’t just any dress—it took over 400 hours to create, as revealed during the E! News red carpet broadcast. That’s dedication, folks.
America wasn’t alone on the red carpet that night. She brought her husband, Ryan Piers Williams, as her date. The couple sat alongside her "Barbie" costar Margot Robbie and director Greta Gerwig, making it a true night of celebration and camaraderie.
Savannah’s Busy Schedule and New Book
In the past, Savannah has been known to attend the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty with her husband, Mike Feldman. However, this year, she skipped the event due to her busy schedule. Instead, she was in Washington, D.C., reporting on the State of the Union. She joined "Today" virtually on March 8 before returning to the NYC studio to cohost with Hoda Kotb on March 11.
The mom of two has also been juggling her new faith-based book, "Mostly What God Does," which was released on February 20. In an interview with TODAY.com, Savannah revealed, "I’m not writing this book from some mountaintop where I’ve received some wisdom, and now I’m imparting it to the world. No, I’m still down here, struggling. Still down here, disappointing myself. I’m still down here, needing faith, needing grace, needing mercy, needing love. That’s why I wrote the book—because I’m the person that needs to read it. And so I thought, if I do, then maybe others do, too."
