Vicky Nguyen, a correspondent for NBC, recently experienced a wardrobe malfunction on live TV during an episode of 'Today' on December 26. The incident occurred when Nguyen paired her fashionable purple pantsuit with a pair of yellow UGGs, which her fellow anchors quickly noticed and called her out for.
Host Peter 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 she had suffered a 'mom brain moment' and had thought she had the shoes she was supposed to wear, but had actually worn her yellow UGGs to the studio by mistake.
The reporter, who is a mom to three daughters, Emerson, 15, Odessa, 12, and Renley, 8, was thankful that the director had cropped the yellow slippers out of the live shot before Alexander called them out. However, the moment was still shared with the audience, and Nguyen took it in stride, saying that the UGGs were 'very comfortable' and that she didn't mind Alexander teasing her about the wardrobe snafu.
Nguyen shared a clip of the moment on her Instagram, writing in the caption, 'That time @peteralexandertv outed me for rolling in slippers.' She also joked that 'Business on top, Uggs on bottom' was her natural habitat. Fans of the show were delighted by the moment, with one user writing, 'Normal Vicky is the greatest Vicky!' and another adding, 'You win mom!!!!! The besttttt.'
The wardrobe malfunction may have actually been good for the UGG brand, with one fan saying, 'Now I want those Uggs.' Nguyen has stated that she plans to leave a pair of shoes at the office to avoid future wardrobe malfunctions, but it's clear that she can laugh at herself and doesn't take the incident too seriously.
This lighthearted moment on 'Today' is a great example of how even on live TV, mistakes can happen, and it's how we respond to them that matters. By laughing at herself and taking the teasing from her fellow anchors in stride, Nguyen showed that she is a good sport and can handle a little embarrassment.
