If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission - learn more Savannah Guthrie - who was recently branded as the 'morning show style queen' -has seriously elevated her wardrobe in recent years, and it turns out that some of her best outfits are from fan-favorite brands like Veronica Beard and Cinq à Sept. Guthrie has been a member of The TODAY Show family since 2012, and is currently the co-anchor of Today at NBC News and the network's chief legal correspondent. Since starting her post as co-anchor, she's quickly become a favorite among viewers for her upbeat attitude, but there's something else that stands out about Guthrie, and that's her style. Every day, Guthrie seems to sport a super fun and different yet still professional outfit, not shying away from bright colors or busy patterns. This summer, she's especially been showing off her fun side, as Liz Teich, who from New York Stylist told Daily Mail that Guthrie outfits are 'what set her apart from the majority of the news world.' But you may be surprised to know that many of Guthrie's clothing items are available for purchase online from various department stores, or other shopping platforms like Shopbop. Her clothes are high-end, but not so out-of-reach that you have to scour the looks from Paris' Haute Couture Fashion Week to find them. Last month, the Today star wore an adorable, white-and-blue gingham print knit dress by designer Sea New York that retailed for $395. Saige Gingham Knit Midi Dress Last month, the TODAY star wore an adorable, white-and-blue gingham print knit dress by designer Sea New York that retailed for $395 $395 Shop Cleo Midi Dress Earlier that month, she wore another fun dress while reporting on-air - this time a sleeveless, structured yellow gown by Leo Lin with detailed flowers emblazoned all over it $995 Shop The cute frock hit below the knee, and featured a white collar and short sleeves, perfect for the hot summer months. She finished off the look with a bit of an edge, wearing the black Ellison Studded Leather Platform Sandals by Jimmy Choo, which retail for over $600, but appear to be sold out. The studded sandals had a big, chunky platform on them, and criss-cross detailing exposing the toes. Earlier that month, she wore another fun dress while reporting on-air - this time a sleeveless, structured yellow gown by Leo Lin with detailed flowers emblazoned all over it. This dress is a bit pricier at $995, but it was a great choice for Guthrie, who completed the look in a pair of clear, platform sandals. Keeping on the yellow theme this summer, the mom-of-two wore a $695 yellow-and-white patterned belted shirtdress by Cara Cara while reporting on June 24. The brightly-patterned dress hit her a bit below the knee, and featured a slit at the center of the bottom hem. But Guthrie doesn't only just stun while on-air in the summer - this past winter, she had a number of fun looks that even included sequins.

SHANE WATSON: I'm a fashion expert - and these are the best anti-ageing buys to get in the summer sales this year... if you're quick
Daily Mail journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission - learn more Full disclosure; I'm not a big fan of sales. I find sales goggles are a lot like beer goggles: the minute something is 50 per cent off, it looks twice as attractive and buying at the end of the season means you're not really going to 'move your wardrobe on' as my fashion editor friend likes to say. 'Spend more on autumn' is what she also says. (This is how fashion editors are: by mid-June they're licking their lips in anticipation of all the tweedy coats, black tights and knee high boots just around the corner.)

Secret behind Helena Bonham Carter's Harry Potter wardrobe and why she ‘hated playing ingenues'
Helena Bonham Carter has always been the proud owner of a wardrobe that is a veritable magpie's nest of tartan, taffeta and tulle. More than a collection of clothes — rack after rack of gothic Vivienne Westwood gowns, punk rock garb and whimsical Alannah Hill frocks (which she picked up while shooting Till Human Voices Wake Us in Melbourne 20 years ago) – it is also a time capsule of her impressive four-decade screen career. 'I have a lot of costume,' she tells Stellar. 'I keep some and also I provide some too, actually.' To play Margaret in the new romantic film Four Letters of Love, Bonham Carter reached into her bountiful collection of aprons and shoes. 'I love comfort,' she says. 'As I grow older, definitely, the shoe is crucial. They should be flat and lace ups. 'And the apron is also a great thing. Even the half apron can make you feel sort of armoured. I feel like an apron gives you a bit of a solidity – to keep the tum in, quite frankly.' It wasn't just the clothing that offered security for Bonham Carter on Four Letters of Love. A 'master chatter,' co-star Gabriel Byrne kept Bonham Carter endlessly entertained and gave her a confidence boost with his seal of approval for her Irish brogue. 'Everyone was Irish, and we were in Ireland so it was like: spot the odd one out,' she says with a laugh of being the lone English woman on set. 'At the beginning, I felt totally self-conscious, but Gabriel pretty quickly said: 'Oh, you're one of us.' So that was a complete thrill, to be told, 'You're Irish.' I have always felt very at home in that accent, and maybe there's a previous life [element to it]. It's so warm. It's like coming home.' Adapted from Niall William's novel, Four Letters of Love is about the forces that conspire to keep two soulmates apart. Gifted the book in the 1990s by her mum, Bonham Carter says that as a self-described 'hopeless romantic', the story resonated with her. 'I do feel like things are fated,' she says of the concept of true love. 'Or that there's an instinct, or there's a consciousness, or … a fabric of life – if we listen to our intuition, which a lot of people don't. 'I don't think there's necessarily a predestined 'one' person for someone. You can have different someones for different times of your life.' As Margaret, Bonham Carter goes to extreme lengths to sabotage her daughter's romance. In real life, she wouldn't dare interfere in her teenage daughter Nell's relationship. 'Luckily, she's got a great boyfriend, and they're very happy,' Bonham Carter says of her youngest child with ex-husband director Tim Burton. (The couple also share a son, Billy.) 'And I couldn't have chosen a better one [for her]. So, no. She's very herself. She's very independent and always has been.' The same could be said for Bonham Carter, who has never conformed to Hollywood's idea of red-carpet glamour. 'I just wear what I want,' she reasons. 'Sure, I have been criticised, but it doesn't matter, does it? It's like, whatever. If you've got the chance to dress up, that's so fun. A lot of us don't have the occasions to dress up and wear stuff. I have got a phenomenal amount of clothes. I like dressing up, and I like putting clothes together.' Listen to a new episode of the Stellar podcast, Something To Talk About, below: Bonham Carter is proud to watch Nell follow her lead and smiles as she explains, 'It is really fun to see her take pleasure in clothes, and the transformative effect of clothes and how it can change your mood and just work on your imagination.' It was Bonham Carter's imagination that breathed manic life into Bellatrix Lestrange in the Harry Potter films. 'When I got it, there wasn't much of [her there] in the original writing. I definitely came up with a look,' she says, adding that the costume design department did plenty of heavy lifting. 'The whole childlike element to Bellatrix was definitely me.' Mildly perplexed why the franchise needs to be rebooted (a TV series due to air in 2027 began filming last week), Bonham Carter admits that she is nonetheless intrigued to see what a new actress – yet to be cast – will bring to the role of Bellatrix. 'So whoever takes it, they can have as much fun as me,' she says. 'But I presume it will go off in a different direction, which will be fun to watch.' Listen to a new episode of the Stellar podcast, Something To Talk About, below: Bellatrix aside, Bonham Carter – who will turn 60 next May – argues that her best roles are still ahead. 'I've always been interested in character parts and parts that are further away from myself. So in a way, this is my era, I feel. I was extremely uncomfortable playing younger ingenues,' explains the actor, whose first major screen role was, indeed, as a young woman in love in the 1985 Merchant-Ivory film classic A Room With A View. 'I felt those were kind of boring. It's more fun playing the supporting character parts.' Perhaps unsurprisingly, Bonham Carter is drawn to slightly unhinged characters, from Fight Club's Marla Singer to the Red Queen in Burton's remake of Alice in Wonderland. Even Cinderella's Fairy Godmother was memorably madcap in her hands. Bonham Carter puts this down to a desire to better understand the extremes of human behaviour. 'My mum was a psychotherapist, who deals with people's pathology,' she says. 'And basically, I do the same. I'm drawn to pathology and I like sick people, because part of the fun of it is, how? How did they end up being this sick, you know? 'And the interesting thing is, there's a reason why they're bonkers. The important thing is not to alienate the sick. We're all human.'

A tale of two totes: These beach bags are seaside-to-city staples
It's time to face facts: women wear 20 per cent of their wardrobes 80 per cent of the time. Investing in a holiday wardrobe that only gets worn for two weeks a year doesn't make financial sense, however long you keep your clothes. Everything we buy needs to work extra hard for the money. Right now, beach bags are the 'It' items seguing from seaside to city. Thankfully, summer 2025's key styles are some of the chicest yet. Giant straw bags and striped market totes are cool statement makers. After all, if you buy a bag you love, why wouldn't you carry it everywhere? Kay Barron, fashion director at Net-a-Porter, agrees: 'Straw bags are much more versatile than you think and shouldn't be exclusively brought out for holidays. They are excellent city weekend bags and add a chic French nonchalance to denim and white shirting.' In recent seasons designers have elevated humbly crafted baskets (which look like they were picked up from a harbour-side stall) with logos and subsequently stratospheric price tags. The Net-a-Porter's bestsellers edit includes the latest Loewe + Paula's Ibiza collection [the Ola bag is £1,650] and the Olivia large raffia shoulder bag by Khaite [£1,810].' Before you choke on your iced latte, be aware that the high street and independent designers all have options that won't make such a sizeable dent in your summer spending. For those looking for something a little more dopamine-inducing than the rusticity of a raffia basket, the trend for bright striped totes – echoing the styles you might fill with heirloom tomatoes and a loaf of artisan sourdough from the farmers' market – is equally hot this summer. In the UK, one of the first brands to focus on the stripy style was Ace & Prince. Co-founded by Chloe Forde in 2020, Ace & Prince's mission is longevity and its tote's super strong nylon and canvas fabrication ensures this. 'I love the idea of an accessory that lasts a really long time, no matter what phase of your life you're in,' explains Forde. With a parallel career as a stylist, Forde notes that while she doesn't often dress colourfully, utilising a 'pop of colour from an accessory is an easy way to style yourself'. This is particularly pertinent in the city, which sometimes calls for a more sober clothing palette. Instagram creator Emma Paton is a fan of striped totes for country, coastal and city-wear: 'Stripes are timeless and never go out of style [but] they do seem to be this summer's print.' Her love of stripes sparked a collaboration with brand The Contents Bag on a range of totes, which can be styled away from the French Riviera climes that inspired the designs. Paton suggests wearing one of her striped totes with 'a white maxi skirt and cami top', and says not to be afraid of 'wearing stripes with stripes' – her favourite 'Balzac Paris Léonor blue stripe shirt' is a staple for this. Whether you yearn for the hit of a striped shopping tote or the bucolic charm of a straw basket, both styles can instantly transport you back to holiday mode, even when you are battling a frenetic city commute. When fashion is the catalyst for such happy, nostalgic summer memories, surely you would want to keep them close at the most stressful times of your life? Doubling the wear of a formerly holiday-only item is undoubtedly the best way to do it.
