Originally appeared on E OnlineThe day after Christmas can be a bit of a haze for many people, and for NBC correspondent Vicky Nguyen, it was no exception. On the December 26 episode of Today, Nguyen experienced a wardrobe malfunction that left her fellow anchors and viewers alike in stitches.
Nguyen paired her fashionable purple pantsuit with a pair of yellow UGGs, which Host Peter Alexander couldn't help but call out on live TV. Alexander asked Nguyen to kick up her heels and reveal the Christmas slippers, which he made sure to note were a good look. Nguyen confessed that it was a mom brain moment, where she thought she had the shoes but didn't.
The reporter, who is a mom to daughters Emerson, 15, Odessa, 12, and Renley, 8, was thankful that the director had cropped the yellow slippers out of the live shot before Peter called them out. Still, it wasn't all bad, as Nguyen put it, Listen, theyre very comfortable, I will say. Moving forward though, she will be taking her stage manager's advice and leaving a pair of shoes at the office.
Nguyen told Today.com after the episode that she plans to leave a pair of shoes at the office in the new year to avoid future show-drobe malfunctions. I totally blanked on bringing shoes this morning and wore my comfy UGG platforms which happen to be neon yellow, she said. And while she was a tad embarrassed about the wardrobe snafu, she didn't mind that Alexander called her out on it.
All in good fun, so I dont have any beef with him, she said. I will say, it reminds me of a couple times Ive gotten dressed in the dark and ended up with two watches on my wrist. Nguyen also shared a clip of the moment to her Instagram, writing in the caption, That time @peteralexandertv outed me for rolling in slippers. Ya got me, she added. This is normal Vicky in her natural habitat. Business on top, Uggs on bottom.
Luckily for Nguyen, fans were delighted by the moment. Normal Vicky is the greatest Vicky, one user wrote in her comments. Another added, You win mom!!!!! The besttttt. And the wardrobe malfunction may have actually been good for the shoe brand, with one fan saying, Now I want those Uggs. E and Today are both part of the NBCUniversal family.
