Savannah Guthrie has sparked a fiery debate from fans over her Today show outfit.
The 52-year-old host of the NBC Today Show has been reporting live on the beautiful floats that sail through New York City on Turkey Day since 2012.
While viewers are usually mesmerized by the dazzling floats during Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, all eyes were on Savannah’s all-black ensemble during the Today Show before the parade.
The journalist wore leather trousers and a padded black jacket.
She protected her blonde locks from the rain with what appeared to be a Burberry bucket hat and completed the low-key ensemble with a pair of black gloves.
Her cozy appearance sparked a backlash as viewers flocked to X, formerly known as Twitter, to criticize it.
Despite wanting to protect themselves from the freezing temperatures and rain, social media users wondered who made the blonde beauty step into the “leather pants” as they reflected on her previous Thanksgiving outfits.
However, other users defended the journalist and labeled her appearance as ‘pure perfection’.

One person said: ‘Who thought it was a good idea to put leather pants on Guthrie?’
Another user added, “Some need to tell Savannah Guthrie not to wear leather pants. They look terrible on her. I love Hoda!!!’
Someone else commented: ‘Savannah never disappoints. I don’t know what’s worse: her hat today or the bows at the Olympics.
“She needs a new assistant to dress her.”
For the parade, Savannah changed up her look, ditching the brown hat and black jacket and opting for a statement silver coat.
And while some users decided to be a Scrooge this holiday season, others praised the mother and journalist for her stunning style.
One person said: ‘Folks, we’ve got Savannah wearing a Burberry bucket hat, let’s go.’
Another user added: ‘Savannah Guthrie’s silver and mint jacket is pure perfection.’
“Savannah Guthrie’s leather pants,” said another person, adding a heart eyes emoji.

Hoda Kotb — who recently shocked fans when she announced she was leaving the Today Show — co-hosted the parade with Savannah.
The 60-year-old look was in stark contrast to Savannah’s, as she wore a long white coat, a white hat and a pair of white gloves.
This year’s Thanksgiving Day Parade has drawn fewer in-person viewers than usual due to pouring rain and frigid temperatures.
A century after the first Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, the annual holiday tradition kicked off again today in New York City with a star-studded lineup of performances from Jennifer Hudson and Idina Menzel, among others.
This year’s parade features 17 giant helium-filled character balloons, 22 floats, 15 new and historic inflatables, 11 marching bands, 700 clowns, 10 performance groups, award-winning singers and actors, and the WNBA champion New York Liberty.

However, according to the National Weather Service, the annual holiday tradition began at 8:30 a.m. ET as a low-pressure system moved through the area, bringing wind, rain and plunging temperatures.
Fox again predicts up to an inch of rain with temperatures in the 40s and winds around 10 miles per hour.

Al was seen interviewing miserable parade goers who sat in cold bleachers trying to stay dry.
