Hoda Kotb Uses a Stapler to Fix Wardrobe Malfunction While Hosting in Paris

Hoda Kotb won't let a wardrobe malfunction slow her down.
The TODAY show cohost had a genius solution after her dress came apart while filming a segment in Paris for the 2024 Olympics.
"Wardrobe malfunction," Hoda wrote in a July 30 Instagram post, "nothing that a stapler can't fix!"
Alongside the caption, the 59-year-old shared a video of her cinching her yellow dress together as crew member Kaitlin Vickery stapled it back together. The pair then high-fived over their work as Hoda excitedly shouted, "Done! Kaitlin to the rescue!"
And the quick fix appeared to have stood the test of time. Shortly after, Hoda posted a photo of her posing in the same ensemble with USA men's gymnastics star Stephen Nedoroscik, whose incredible pommel horse routine won over the internet and helped his team take home the bronze medal in the men's all-around final.
Captioning the snap of her wearing Stephen's prescription frames and him wearing her sunnies, Hoda quipped, "just two icons swapping glasses."
And Hoda's hilarious dress mishap isn't the only memorable moment she'll take home with her after her time in Paris. After all, the TV personality was seen getting emotional alongside cohost Savannah Guthrie over Céline Dion's first live performance in four years at the Games' Opening Ceremony.
Plus, during the July 26 event, the Hope Is a Rainbow author got to fulfill one of her longtime goals. "Do you know when you dream of meeting Tom Cruise," Hoda wrote in a July 27 Instagram alongside a shot of her with the Top Gun star. "...And then it finally happens."
