Hoda Kotb managed to stay cool, calm and collected despite enduring a wardrobe mishap while covering the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
In a Tuesday, July 30, Instagram video, the Today co-host revealed that a small section on the side of her yellow dress split open while she was on the job.
Hoda Kotb's dress split on one of the sides while she was overseas in Paris to cover the 2024 Olympics.
"Wardrobe malfunction— nothing that a stapler cant fix! Thx @kaitlinvictory," the mother-of-two, 59, captioned the clip, which showed a woman fastening the frock.
"Done! Kaitlin to the rescue!" Kotb declared while giving the stylist a high-five.
The TV star was rocking the dress while greeting the USA men's gymnastics team, who won a bronze medal.
"Proud of you xoxo❤️🇺🇸💙 @usagym," she wrote alongside a video that showed her hugging the athletes and telling them, "It was so fun to watch."
Kotb also put on Stephen Nedoroscik's specs after he went viral for appearing to take a nap in the stands prior to the competition. "Just two icons swapping glasses 😎😎," she joked of the snap together.
The mom-of-two excitedly met the USA men's gymnastics team while wearing the yellow frock.
The author has been having a ball overseas, revealing over the weekend that she fulfilled her dream of meeting Tom Cruise, whom she even got a photo with.
Prior to the Paris games, Kotb stirred up controversy when she admitted on a June episode of Today With Hoda & Jenna that she went skinny-dipping with her two daughters, Haley, 7, and Hope, 4.
The star's 'dream' of meeting Tom Cruise came true while she was in Paris.

The star co-parents her two kids with ex-fiancé Joel Schiffman, whom she announced her split from in January 2022.
Last year, Kotb insisted they have "a really great working relationship when it comes to holidays. We speak a lot and we make sure that we divvy it up so that it is great for him and great for us."
"The ultimate goal is when your girls are happy. That’s what we both say, 'Happy girls, that’s all we want.' And that’s what we have," she pointed out. "So they enjoy spending time with their dad and they enjoy spending time with me and everybody on my side. So it’s been really good [and] we have a nice mix."
