How To Recreate Katie’s Exact “TODAY” Show Outfit — And Get the Look for Less

Were you envying Katie’s pink suit from her TODAY Show appearance? Here’s how to recreate the look.

This morning, Katie reunited with her TODAY Show family to speak about her breast cancer diagnosis, which she shared with the world in a personal essay last week.

“I just feel super lucky that it was diagnosed when it was, that I went, even though I was late, that I went when I did,” she said during the interview. Like many of us, Katie lost track of time and went in for her annual mammogram six months late. 

When her radiologist saw something in her breast during the mammogram, she made sure that they acted quickly. Her doctor suggested they take a biopsy that same day, which revealed that the small tumor in Katie’s breast was cancerous. Thankfully, it was less than small in size, was in the early stages of development, and will likely not spread to Katie’s lymph nodes. 

The interview continued for a whopping 11 minutes, allowing Katie, Hoda, and Savannah to talk about everything from Katie’s diagnosis to how she told her daughters the scary news. 

We were all listening closely to what Katie had to say and after the interview, we all had mammograms on our minds…but we also couldn’t stop thinking about the gorgeous pink suit she was wearing. She paired the bright ensemble with a simple button-down top, her signature glasses, and gorgeous blue heels.
