NBC Anchor Dylan Dreyer's Best & Worst On-Air Outfits

Dylan Dreyer has become a constant presence on NBC since debuting on the network in 2012. She is a meteorologist and co-host on the third hour of the "Today" show who greets audiences every day with a smile. In the years that she has been a part of the NBC morning lineup, Dreyer has had a gorgeous transformation. She has established a versatile fashion sense by wearing tasteful dresses and ensembles when on screen, while maintaining a more casual style of sweatshirts and jeans when at home. But her professional wardrobe has taken more than a few tries to get exactly right. Over the years, Dreyer has worn some questionable pieces that we're sure she'd rather forget. 

It's clear that Dylan Dreyer isn't afraid to mix it up when it comes to fashion. She's been expanding her use of eye-catching patterns and prints. While relying on monochrome looks for many interviews and appearances, Dreyer loves the opportunity to play with fun colors. She's made this especially clear at the Kentucky Derby where she has repeatedly gone all out with her outfit choices. However, these instances often end up being too outlandish and depict some of Dreyer's greatest fashion fails. In fact, Dreyer's biggest crimes against clothing all include her looking quite silly. And she's repeated the offense rather often. One thing is for sure: Dylan Dreyer's wardrobe never looks tired. Let's look back at some of the winning and losing looks that Dreyer has worn on the air.

In September 2025, Dylan Dreyer embraced the girlcore aesthetic with a sweet, soft pink outfit that was not only pleasing in color, but in texture as well. She wore a scoop neck tweed minidress in a pale pink tone that was both feminine and professional. It fit Dreyer's shape like a glove and made her body look fit and slim. To match, Dreyer wore a blush-pink cardigan sweater on top. This outfit was the perfect example of how two closet staples can be worn together and still look fresh. 

One thing to remember when pairing purple with green is that you always run the risk of looking like the recognizable PBS Kids character. During a 2025 trip to New Orleans on "Today," Dylan Dreyer gave off major Barney vibes with her wardrobe. Her magenta top with puffed sleeves already felt cartoony, but pairing it with a bright green pair of trousers really sealed the deal. The wide leg pants looked especially bulky on Dreyer, while the high waist made her torso appear super short. 

When interacting with the outdoor audience at "Today," the hosts need to stay warm and dry while still looking stylish. Dylan Dreyer has this down to a science, as she always wears practical and fashionable outerwear when reporting from the studio's exterior. This vibrant cobalt-blue coat has become a favorite for Dreyer who has been wearing the garment regularly since 2022, even accessorizing on occasion with matching gloves. Its spirited color and statement-making lapels make business wear look playful, while the wrap silhouette and thick belt are super slimming on her waist.

In August 2025, Dylan Dreyer forecasted the weather in an off-kilter striped minidress. The bodice was white with thin black stripes that led downward to a pointed hem layered onto an itty-bitty black skirt for contrast. This outfit felt overwhelmingly disjointed. The stripes were already a lot for the eyes to handle — so the asymmetrical hem veering off felt like way too much. It would have made more sense for the entire garment to be covered in the black and white striped motif and finished with a straight hem at the bottom. 

During the summer concert series that featured Carly Rae Jepsen in 2015, Dylan Dreyer wore an adorable minidress that featured a classic fit and flare silhouette. It was a perfect representation of what was trending at the time. Any girl would've gravitated towards the dress if they saw it in Forever 21. The black neckline cut to a black and white miniature gingham pattern at the bust, making Dreyer look cute and youthful. 

Perhaps Dylan Dreyer had "Wicked" fever when she wore this unique look in August 2025. Her dress included a sheer layer of pink appliqué designs with a random straight line of white trim along the bodice that followed down to the skirt and hemline. The see-through top layer revealed a seafoam green minidress with straps underneath. There was far too much going on with the 'fit, so much so that it looked like a costume for a Barbie doll that someone made at home with a hot glue gun. 

Polka dots are a classic trend that staged a comeback in 2025, and Dylan Dreyer hit a fashion homerun while wearing them in June 2025. She wore a scoop neck white dress with black polka dots throughout, which hugged her figure perfectly and was well accented by her wavy blond bob. Later, in September 2026, she nailed the style again by wearing a white blouse with high-waisted black pants that featured white polka dots. Dreyer ended up looking taller this time because of how the pants cut across her waist.   

One annual celebration that Dylan Dreyer enjoys covering each summer is the prestigious Kentucky Derby. For years, Dreyer has dressed in typical Derby garb. Too bad her insistence on traditional outfits have repeatedly made her look much older. Among the best and worst-dressed celebs at the 2025 Kentucky Derby, Dreyer sadly didn't produce a winning look. Her wardrobe consisted of tacky dresses that went too hard on the florals, and matching oversized hats. The shapeless green skirt and flimsy pink plaid sweater combination she wore should have stayed in her closet.
