As the 2024 Paris Olympics is set to commence, Hoda Kotb, along with other TODAY team members, was honored with U..S Olympic gymnastic leotards a day after its first look on the show. The white and ocean blue costumes looked gorgeous and came decked with shiny Swarovski crystals.
This comes after Hoda was dubbed the “gymnastics Olympic mother” by U.S. women’s gymnastics champion Simone Biles during an exclusive interview with the team. The men were not left out of the fun as Craig Melvin and Al Roker went home with “man-tards” too.

As co-anchor Shenielle Jones displayed the outfits on the TODAY plaza, she noted that Savannah Guthrie had the idea to save a special one for Hoda, whom she considered the “team mom.” True to Savannah’s words, Hoda got a special piece and was visibly excited about it.

Hoda Kotb at the TIME 100 Most Influential People in The World Gala in New York City.
According to GK Elite, the makers of the women’s team leotards, they were made with Paris, a.k.a. the City of Light in mind. They feature pearls and over 47,000 Swarovski crystals. At first sight, Simone admitted that they were “beautiful,” and her teammates Jordan Chiles, Suni Lee, Jade Carey, and Hezly Rivera agreed.
GK Elite added that the collection is also inspired by “classic American patriotism and old Hollywood glamor,” which blends wonderfully with Parisian high fashion to birth a sophisticated look. The outfits have been exclusively displayed on TODAY ahead of the upcoming Summer Games.
