Megan Stalter made a memorable entrance when she appeared on TODAY with Jenna & Friends on July 15.
The โToo Muchโ star shocked Jenna Bush Hager and guest co-host Ciara when she revealed her intentionally unfinished outfit for the show.
As she walked out to meet Jenna and Ciara, she revealed her look that appeared as though she was in the middle of getting ready. Clad in a fluffy robe, hair curlers, a lime green purse and heels, Stalter took casual dress to a new level.
โSorry, I didnโt have time to finish getting ready,โ Stalter joked after greeting the two co-hosts with hugs.
Stalter’s on-air look matched the chaotic energy of her TV character, Jessica, in the new Netflix series โToo Much,โ which was released on July 10. In the show, co-created by Lena Dunham, Jessica dons a variety of quirky outfits.
Costume designer Arielle Cooper-Lethem, who worked on the Netflix series, has described Jessica’s outfits as โunhinged.โ
โSheโs putting things together in a way where youโre like, โOh, thatโs crazy … but I like it. And I like her,” Cooper-Lethem shared in a July 10 interview with InStyle.
Stalter brought a similar energy to TODAY with her eccentric costume. The “Hacks” actor, who is also known for her comedy and internet presence, continued the bit in the segment.
โIโm so glad we could make this work. I know you have been wanting me on the show,โ she said to Jenna and Ciara before squealing with excitement and laughter.
Jenna didnโt hide her surprise and amusement for Stalterโs unique look.
โNow, what is happening here? Your fit is great, but itโs surprising,โ she asked.
In response, Stalter blamed the morning showโs early start time for her undone appearance.
โI just didnโt have a lot of time to get ready,โ she said. โYou guys start so early.โ
Stalter used her busy schedule as another reason why she needed to be extra comfortable.
โI have such a big day of press,โ she added, before looking off camera to joke about needing to head to her next gig. โAnd by the way, are we good on time?โ
Stalter may have sparked laughter with her look, but Jenna had an important reminder for the star.
โIf this is from the hotel, just make sure you return it,โ she teased.
