50 Unforgettable Moments When Anchors Lost It On-Air

Wardrobe Malfunction

Aside from the presenting skills, another thing that people observe in reporters is their clothing choices. Mexican meteorologist Nalié López was delivering with the weather report dressed like she was out for an outdoor adventure. She had no idea she would soon be trending online after a wardrobe malfunction in the middle of her bulletin that day.

López’s red vest and brown shorts stole the show for a brief moment, but what mattered more was that she was able to handle the situation so well. There’s definitely a silver lining here, though, because López has gained generous praise and modeling offers since then.

Dress for the Job

Media personality or not, everyone should be mindful of what they wear, especially if they’re planning to be active and move around. It seems like Romanian meteorologist Roxana Vancea missed that memo. She was wearing a tight-fitted outfit when she suddenly decided to take a jog on the spot while reporting the weather.

As she jumped up and down, her blouse’s neckline shifted, resulting in a brief but pretty awkward moment on-air. Though the footage immediately began trending online, Vancea continued doing her job well in the network, albeit with better-informed wardrobe choices.

When You’ve Got It, Flaunt It

Kimberly Guilfoyle is an American television news personality who served as an advisor to former U.S. President Donald Trump. Aside from such an impressive work background, Guilfoyle is also known for her fantastic poise. In fact, producers make it a point to highlight her features while on camera.

While this approach got positive reactions from many viewers, some conservative folks voiced their contrasting opinion, too, saying she looks distracting and should cover up more. Despite all that, Guilfoyle continues to get the job done in her usual elegant and professional manner.

Just Choose a Safe Outfit

Working in front of a camera almost daily can lead some to presenters honing their wardrobe choices and personal style. Still, sometimes anchors can also get a little experimental with their clothes, which is entirely okay. Unfortunately, weather reporter Jacqueline Bennett did not make the best choice when trying a new outfit for a KRON 4 episode.

A combination of the studio’s cold temperature and bright camera lights resulted in a pretty awkward wardrobe malfunction during Bennet’s weather report. Although the incident must’ve been pretty embarrassing, her takeaway from it was choosing better attire for future on-air presentations.

Appropriate Outfit for Virtual Backgrounds

Australian journalist and weather presenter Belinda Russell had people taking double glances when she appeared on-air for a weather report. Her flesh-colored bodysuit made her look bare in sharp contrast to the backdrop. But upon closer inspection, it is apparent that she is actually fully dressed.

Russell told “Style Nine” that she has her own fashion sense and likes to stand out as she presents weather reports. Though she also admitted she should have checked the virtual background first. Nevertheless, may this be a reminder to all anchors always to consider how backdrops and outfits might affect each other.
