During the interview, Vanna White, accompanied by her 30-year-old son Nikko Santo Pietro, disclosed to host Drew Barrymore that she doesn’t have the luxury of keeping the dresses she wears on the show. However, she mentioned that she’s allowed to “borrow” them for events like the Emmys. White humorously shared that while she dresses up for work on the show, she enjoys having “full PJs days” at home. This revelation gives fans an insight into the behind-the-scenes life of the beloved TV personality.
White’s massive collection of dresses shouldn’t be surprising to avid Wheel of Fortune viewers, as she shared previously on The Elvis Duran Show that she records “six shows a day” for 34 days each year. This rigorous schedule has contributed to her extensive wardrobe over the years. With her contract recently extended through the 2025-26 season, fans can expect to see many more dazzling outfits from White in the years to come.
In 2022, White had already worn 7,800 outfits on air, showcasing her dedication to maintaining a fresh and stylish look for every episode. Despite her vast wardrobe, the co-host admitted that she doesn’t always love every outfit she wears on TV, acknowledging the diverse tastes of her audience. She emphasized the importance of being versatile in her fashion choices to cater to different preferences.
Following the departure of longtime co-host Pat Sajak, Ryan Seacrest joined Vanna White as the new co-host of Wheel of Fortune in September. Seacrest praised White for her warmth and generosity during his transition to the show, highlighting her iconic status in television. Their on-screen chemistry has been well-received by fans, ensuring that the legacy of Wheel of Fortune continues with a fresh dynamic.
As Vanna White continues to grace our screens with her stylish ensembles and vibrant personality, fans can look forward to witnessing more of her glamorous looks on Wheel of Fortune. With over four decades of experience on the show, White remains a beloved figure in the world of television, embodying elegance and grace with each spin of the iconic wheel.
