Photos of Vanna White outside of her role as Wheel of Fortune’s letter turner have fans talking, as the 67-year-old looks unrecognizable. It was a surprise to see her without makeup and in regular clothes, which is a contrast to her glamorous appearance on the popular game show.
Vanna’s all-natural snap made it to X, featuring her in a gray New York sweatshirt, her bare face, and her hair pulled back in a ponytail with glasses on top. She was likely running errands as she held onto a parcel and her smartphone during the stroll.

Vanna’s paparazzi shot was posted with the caption, “Guess who?” likely hoping to evoke a reaction. On the contrary, a few users came to Vanna’s defense, saying she cannot look perfect all the time. “HEY, Vanna is human, too!!!” someone exclaimed.
Another asked that fans give her a break, noting that she does not look any different except for her bare face. “She’s allowed run errands without an evening gown on,” they argued. “This BS is the reason women & girls struggle w/self image! She’s a 67 year old in amazing shape! It’s called aging & happens to us all,” a third person clapped back.
Will Vanna White get replaced by a younger woman?
Since former host Pat Sajak retired from Wheel of Fortune, and with the arrival of the younger Ryan Seacrest, Vanna is allegedly looking for ways to appear youthful and slimmer. Insiders say she fears being replaced by a younger person and sometimes feels intimidated by Ryan’s looks.
So far, the new duo have been getting along just fine on set, with Vanna still showing up in her gorgeous outfits and a full face of makeup. Ryan is not left out of the criticism either, as trolls have called him out for getting beauty enhancements like Botox and a facelift to look perfect for the camera.
