Vanna White has won the hearts of her fans over the years, and they seem to be overprotective of her now, which is not in any way shocking as she has hosted the Wheel of Fortune game show for more than forty seasons. The beautiful 67-year-old became a co-host alongside Pat Sajak and stayed on even after Pat retired.
Aside from her duties as co-host, her devoted fans see her as a consistent fashion style inspiration due to the over 8,000 outfits she has purportedly worn on the show. Keeping up with her standard of serving great looks in a recent episode, a super fan raised a concern, and others couldn’t help but agree that the host might be unintentionally setting herself up for a fall.
Vanna White’s gown sparks debate on injury
While performing her hosting duties during the weekend episode, the mother of two appeared stylish in a long pink gown, which fans didn’t hesitate to commend. Despite the great fashion sense and the appealing allure of the outfit Vanna White wore, some fans were skeptical about the functionality of the outfit. They noted that the co-host could become a casualty in an instance and sustain a series of injuries should she make the mistake of stepping on the tip of the long gown and sustaining a fall.
Interestingly, a clip from the show made it to Reddit, and Redditors shared their varying opinion about Vanna White’s outfit. While some supported her choice of style, claiming that with her fashion sense and experience, she knows how to navigate herself in such long gowns. However, some others focused on the health and safety side of things so that netizens could take home some lessons from the discussion.

Near miss injury on ‘Wheel of Fortune’
While the awareness about Vanna White’s gown seems to be no big deal for most viewers, no one plans for a fall, and even the current Wheel of Fortune host Ryan Seacrest wasn’t immune to that as he suffered a fall during an episode weeks back when a contestant bumped into him while celebrating his win. Thankfully, he didn’t suffer any injury, and he made light of the situation and laughed it out with viewers.
With the tension in the air among Wheel of Fortune contestants and the adrenaline rush after they win or lose out on rewards, being aware and wearing an outfit that won’t contribute to a fall might be something the show organizers might want to look into to reduce the potential risk of host and co-host sustaining an injury during the game show.
