Willie reveals what his wife requested from this year's reveal

It was no small feat performing Harry Styles' record breaking hit "As it Was," but Willie made it look easy. Wearing Styles' black and yellow striped pantsuit from last year's Citi Concert on the Plaza, Willie says he's a fan of Styles and this year's costume was "a real doozy.

And learning Styles' signature dance moves? It took some practice. "The good news is that his dance moves are so identifiable, you know which three to do," says Willie.

Prior to today's costume reveal, Willie says his wife, Christina, expressed concern as he says she does every year.

"She's like, 'What you want to take out is the cringe.' She's like, 'There's always a moment of cringe, let's take that out of the routine.' So, I'm going to try," he laughed.

Savannah reveals how she brought Taylor Swift to the Plaza

TODAY's Kellyoke-themed Halloween party was truly a showstopper this year and all the co-hosts got in on the musical action. And what would a tribute to today's pop stars be without Taylor Swift?

According to Savannah, once she learned the theme of this year's Halloween extravaganza, she knew someone would have to be Swift, whose "Eras Tour" has dominated headlines for months.

"So why not me?" she tells TODAY.com.

Wearing a replica of Swift's bedazzled bodysuit, Savannah brought down the house performing "Cruel Summer," which was only topped off when she was joined on stage by her daughter, Vale. Both are certified Swifties.

To prep for the big moment, Savannah tells TODAY.com she "listened to ‘Folklore’ 10 billion times, to the point that (her) kids were like, ‘Mom, please stop.'"

Savannah is … Taylor Swift!

Taylor Swift. Perhaps you’ve heard of her? Biggest concert tour on the planet? Blockbuster movie? That Taylor Swift?

Savannah Guthrie is tearing down the Plaza wearing Swift’s now-legendary bodysuit from the “Eras Tour” and is unstoppable performing “Cruel Summer,” which recently hit one billion streams on Spotify.

Achieving the look has been no small feat, according to Greenbaum, who shaes that Savannah’s bodysuit is custom-made from eight different fabrics that are all sequined and bedazzled with rhinestones.

“She looks like a knockout,” says Greenbaum. “I mean, it’s absolutely incredible.”

Sheinelle is … Diana Ross!

Stop … in the name of Halloween! Sheinelle Jones reigns supreme (yes, pun intended) as the one and only Diana Ross.

Performing Ross’ legendary 1980 hit “I’m Coming Out,” Sheinelle is every inch the disco queen she’s intended to be. Her look, according to Greenbaum, is also a nod to fashion designer Bob Mackie.

After discovering the gown in New York’s Garment District, Greenbaum says the team customized it to achieve Sheinelle’s glamorous look. “There’s feathers all over my house,” laughs Greenbaum. “It looks like Cookie Monster and Big Bird got in a fight.”

The result? “The dress looks incredible on her,” says Greenbaum.Of her diva costume, Sheinelle tells TODAY.com that she channeled “regal” to dress as the “Upside Down” singer.

“I’m trying to soak up every single moment and just have a really good time,” says Sheinelle. “We call today’s show ‘Homecoming.’ I used to love homecoming in high school, so this is my adult way of enjoying every little second of homecoming.”


8h ago / 12:20 PM UTC

Al is ... Lionel Richie!

Oh, what a feeling! Al Roker is dancing on the ceiling as Lionel Richie. Dressed up as the former Commodore, Al is taking us back to the ’80s, when Richie’s album “Dancing on the Ceiling” ruled the radio with songs like “Say You, Say Me,” “Ballerina Girl” and, of course, the title track by the same name.

Is Al a fan? “Who doesn’t love Lionel Richie?” he says to TODAY.com. “He’s a soundtrack. He’s still playing those songs.”

Does Al’s hair look familiar? If you’re a fan of“Saturday Night Live,” you may recognize the curly wig as that worn by Kenan Thompson in the classic comedy sketch “What’s Up With That?”

“(That sketch) is one of my favorites of all,” says Greenbaum. “It’s perfect.”

8h ago / 12:18 PM UTC

Jenna and Hoda are ... Sonny and Cher!

Re-creating one of the ’60s most iconic husband and wife teams, it’s Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager as Sonny and Cher and the TODAY co-hosts couldn’t be any groovier. Tag-teaming the couple’s 1965 hit song “I Got You Babe,” Hoda and Jenna’s costumes are a page right out of history. Literally.

“I happened to find a tan 1970s tuxedo,” Greenbaum says of Jenna’s suit. From there, the designer embellished the costume to add tons of sparkle. “I had a custom shirt made for (Jenna) with that great ’70s collar.”

Jenna tells TODAY.com that what she likes best about this year’s costume. “I love that I have a full warm suit with lapels and I think my wig and mustache are going to be a showstopper.” 

For Hoda’s look, Greenbaum says she paid tribute to Cher’s long-time fashion designer, Bob Mackie, who crafted some of the “Moonstruck” actor’s most well-known looks, including the dress Hoda is wearing today.

Is Hoda excited to channel the iconic Cher? “Please. Oh my, God. I’ve been watching just Jack from ‘Will and Grace,’ that’s how I’m getting my impression,” Hoda tells TODAY.com.

Does she feel glamorous? “I’m trying,” laughs Hoda. 

“We don’t have a choreographed dance, but ours is in the facial expression,” says Jenna.

8h ago / 12:17 PM UTC

Peter and Laura are ... Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton!

It’s America’s favorite couple from “The Voice,” Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton! 

Look closer, and you’ll see it’s actually TODAY weekend co-hosts Peter Alexander and Laura Jarrett performing the duo’s 2020 collaboration “Happy Anywhere.”

A single off Shelton’s “Body Language” album, the sweet country duet is a nod to the pandemic and getting through challenging times together. The couple, who met while judges on the singing competition, married in 2021.

“Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani … you can’t go wrong with,” Peter Alexander tells TODAY.com. “I’m not a country guy, but I have committed this week and I’m all in, on all things.” 

And it doesn’t hurt that Peter has gotten some advice from co-host Carson Daly. “Carson’s buddies with (Shelton and Stefani), so he’s like, ‘Peter, you got this.’ He’s giving me a little bit of extra help. So, I think I’ll be just fine.”

It’s Laura’s first Halloween on the Plaza and TODAY’s weekend anchor says she’s “very excited” to be part of the extravaganza as Stefani, who she says is “awesome.”

“I was up early, hyping myself up for it,” Laura says. “Savannah always gives the best advice to everyone, which is ‘Don’t hold back. Don’t try to be cool. Just go for it,’ so I have that mindset today.

Shelton was named People’s Sexiest Man Alive in 2017 and earlier this month, Stefani received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. During the ceremony, Shelton emotionally revealed that Stefani’s “unique style” has made the world fall in love with her before adding, “Not as much as me though.”

Willie is ... Harry Styles!

There’s only “one direction” to go with Willie Geist’s costume this year … and it’s Harry Styles!

Willie is re-creating Styles’ memorable 2022 Citi Summer Concert Series performance on the TODAY Plaza, when a cold rain couldn’t stop the “Watermelon Sugar” singer from putting on a sizzling show.

Performing Styles’ record-breaking hit “As it Was,” Willie is outfitted in yellow, brown and black striped jumpsuit similar to the one Styles wore while performing on the TODAY Plaza.

“It’s a full one-piece and zips up the back,” Willie tells TODAY.com of his Harry Styles costume. Even so, Willie says it’s surprisingly comfortable. “It’s not skin tight. It’s got a little play in it.” 

Greenbaum says the fabric was custom-printed for the seconds-long Halloween segment, then assembled by a tailor in Ridgewood, New York. It’s that attention to detail that, dare we say it, really makes this costume beautiful.

8h ago / 12:16 PM UTC

Dylan is ... Pink!

A toast to Dylan Dreyer, who is decked out as Pink this year and singing “Raise Your Glass.”

The pop singer, whose real name is Alecia Beth Moore, made it big with her with her first hit “There You Go” in 2000 and has continued to churn out chart-toppers. Pink said in a previous interview that her personal favorites are “So What” and “Get the Party Started.”

To prepare for her turn as the singer, Dylan says she spent a considerable amount of time in the makeup chair. “I spent about 40 minutes in makeup yesterday,” she tells TODAY.com. “The tattoo is no joke.”

Greenbaum says Dylan’s totally “blinged out” costume pays tribute to Pink’s many memorable looks. “There’s a lot of sparkle this year,” the costume designer says, “which is really fun.”

What about Dylan’s sky-high boots? Are they comfortable enough to groove in?

“They’re OK, I mean they’ve got the fantastic platform,” Dylan says of the heels. “I don’t know if I can jump and kick and do all the things I practiced at home.”

8h ago / 12:15 PM UTC

Craig is ... MC Hammer!

It’s Hammer time! Craig Melvin is performing “U Can’t Touch This” by MC Hammer, whose concert was the first Craig ever attended. 

“1991, Carolina Coliseum,” Craig tells TODAY.com of the show. “It was Vanilla Ice, En Vogue and MC Hammer. It was a heck of a show.”

Craig Melvin as M.C. Hammer

In addition to its infectious beat, “U Can’t Touch This” is remembered for the video in which Hammer dances in a pair of baggy pants — which, of course, Craig is wearing for his routine.

“I’ve been working on the (the dance) for a week,” Craig says, but not wearing the pants. “I probably should have,” he laughs.

Greenbaum says Craig got a lesson on fashion after learning that the trousers have their own name: “Hammer Pants.”

“That outfit is hilarious,” says Greenbaum. “(Craig) couldn’t believe it. He was like, ‘Really? That’s a thing?’”

According to Craig, the “Hammer Pants” are “pretty spacious” which should hopefully help with the moves. 

“The hardest part is the shuffle step thing (MC Hammer) does. You gotta move your feet really fast.” 

Does Craig have a favorite costume? 

“It’s funny because I’ve done Muhammad Ali, Patrick Mahomes, I did the Fresh Prince, I’ve done Prince Akeem,” he recalls. “They’ve been good to me. So, every year I’m like, ‘They won’t be able to top that one,’ but every year they keep coming up with someone new.” 

8h ago / 12:14 PM UTC

Carson is ... Neil Diamond!

Bum, bum, bum.

This Halloween, Carson Daly takes on a music legend: The great Neil Diamond. Boston Red Sox fans will especially love this tribute to one of Diamond’s most enduring hits — “Sweet Caroline.” So good, so good!

Released in May 1969, the original title of the beloved tune was, fittingly, “Sweet Caroline (Good Times Never Seemed So Good).” Along with being the unofficial song of the Red Sox, it’s also the victory song of the Carolina Panthers, English soccer teams and more.

TODAY costume designer Staci Greenbaum says the team worked hard to get Carson’s costume just right, down to his disco pants. “They’re really slim-fit bell bottoms (and) we’ve exaggerated the shape just a little bit,” she says.

In addition to the beaded blue tunic, Greenbaum says they also gave Carson a pair of heeled boots to wear.

“If Carson wasn’t tall enough, he will be taller.”

What does Carson think about this year’s look? “I’m excited about it. It fits well, it’s comfortable.”

More than that, Carson says that all of this year’s costumes are “unbelievably accurate” when compared to the real people they’re portraying. “They really crushed it with Neil Diamond,” he says.

Is there one costume that’s really stood out for the TODAY anchor through the years?

“The ‘Terminator’ was a lot of fun,” he says, recalling his 2016 costume when he got to ride a motorcycle and channel Arnold Schwarzenegger. “That was just a fun year. That stands out.” 

8h ago / 12:13 PM UTC

The 2023 Halloween theme is … Kellyoke!

“The Kelly Clarkson Show” recently relocated from Los Angeles to New York. This Halloween, we’re celebrating the daytime talk show host’s move to the Big Apple with a TODAY-inspired version of “Kellyoke,” the popular show segment in which Clarkson covers iconic songs by various artists.

Just last week, the “Since U Been Gone” singer channeled Madonna in her Kellyoke version of the pop star’s ‘80s hit “Lucky Star.”

Of course, it’s not the first time Clarkson has taken fans back in time, she’s also covered other fan favorites like Tommy James’ “Crimson and Clover,” Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5” and many, many more.

Wait and see who the TODAY anchors will channel in this tribute to all things Kellyoke.

8h ago / 11:53 AM UTC

Al inspired a Halloween costume

Al Roker posted a photo on Instagram of a costume he inspired.

"You know it’s #halloween when your stylist from @mitchellstores Brian Hawkins shows up dressed up as you. Well played, sir," he wrote.

Hawkins was wearing Al's signature hat and glasses, paired with a colorful button-down shirt and spiffy tie. He looked a lot like Al in the picture, who was also wearing a hat, glasses, colorful button-down and tie.

Hawkins later joined Al on the Plaza. Fashion legends!
