Savannah Guthrie Confronts Fan Photo Exposing Natural Hair Color Live on Today Show

During a live segment on the Today show, Savannah Guthrie was surprised and embarrassed when a fan named Carol revealed a poster of her from the 1990s, showing her with her natural jet-black hair styled in a voluminous bob reminiscent of Jennifer Aniston's iconic 'Rachel' haircut from Friends. Guthrie, currently known for her caramel-colored hair, humorously tried to hide the photo and joked about burning it, while co-host Craig Melvin and weatherman Al Roker teased her about the drastic change in her hair color over the years. The fan had been following Guthrie since her early journalism days at Tucson's KVOA, where Guthrie reported on the Olympics before moving on to bigger markets and eventually joining NBC News and the Today show. Guthrie has been open about her various hair transformations throughout her career, often expressing regret over some choices, such as her 2013 auburn hair. Despite the cringe-worthy moment, Guthrie's style continues to be praised for being professional yet approachable, balancing classic and trendy elements. This lighthearted encounter highlighted both Guthrie's evolution as a public figure and her willingness to embrace and laugh at her past looks.
