Hoda Kotb is the queen of Halloween! The broadcaster has sported some memorable costumes on Today over the years.

In September 2024, she announced that she would officially be leaving the show, making fans eager to see what her final Halloween costume on the series would be. And they definitely were not expecting it to be Jack Dawson from Titanic!

Hoda revealed her least favorite Halloween costume she has worn over her years hosting the show — Elton John.

“I felt horrible,” she said on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen in July 2024. “I don’t know. … People were asking me, ‘Who are you?’ Don’t you hate that?”

Closer takes a walk down memory lane with photos of Hoda’s Halloween costumes over the years.

2024

For the “VHS Rewind” theme this year, Hoda and Jenna dressed as Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukater from the 1997 film Titanic! They even struck the classic pose that Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet made famous in the movie. This marks Hoda’s final Halloween on Today before she leaves the show in early 2025 to pursue other avenues.

“It’s a whole wellness situation, and I got lit up by that just from stuff I’ve been working on and doing on myself,” she said of her next career venture in an October 11 interview with People. “I’ve learned to do a bunch of different things with breath works and what not through friends, through Jenna, through Maria [Shriver], through all these different people, and I’ve been loving it.”
