From blouson dresses and comfortable sneakers to leopard print tops and faux-leather pants, Kelly Ripa’s stylish-yet-casual outfits are just the inspiration we need to get out of our leggings and back into real clothes. (Even if we promptly change back into our comfy attire following our Zoom call).
In honor of Ripa’s timeless fashion, we compiled a list of her 21 best outfits of all time. And as a bonus, we included similar styles to help you recreate every single look. (You’re welcome.)
This particular day on set, Kelly and Ryan decided to go on camera in the same outfits they showed up to work in. For Kelly, that meant this billowy, printed dress paired with über-cool and comfy pristine white sneakers. If there’s one thing we can’t get enough of these days, it’s comfort. So we’ll be adopting this outfit as our new go-to.

Ripa is in a dress or skirt 90 percent of the time, but this leopard and leather look is proof that pants can be just as polished. A wide-leg silhouette feels fresh and gives those legs some extra breathing room.

A cashmere sweater is something we can always get behind, even if we’re still working remotely. But for those of us who can’t hide behind Zoom, throwing on a pencil skirt is the sartorial equivalent of a morning pep talk. Just look for a skirt with a bit of stretch so you don’t miss those leggings too much.

With its prismatic design and bold ruffles, this dress is exactly what we’d want to wear for our first day back in the office. Well, Ripa read our mind, because she did in fact return to the Live with Kelly and Ryan set post-quarantine in this feminine Cynthia Rowley number, accented by a pair of bold green pumps.

Ripa swears by this outfit formula more than anything else. Why? Probably because it’s flattering, requires zero thought and works every time. We’re taking a page out of the talk show host’s book and adding all three items to our outfit rotation.

It’s worth noting that the 51-year-old TV personality has donned her fuchsia hoodie dress at least four times, so it’s safe to say that this number is one of her personal favorites. The Hooded Ribbed Cashmere-Blend Dress retailed a whopping $2,690 before it sold out.

During one of her shows in 2021, the Live co-host looked like a cross between Little House on the Prairie and Project Runway, and we’re still kind of obsessed. Ripa sported a pastel pink midi dress, which featured a lace-trimmed Chelsea collar and puffy sleeves.
