Sheinelle Jones: What I Wore When I Became a 'Today' Show Anchor

Broadcast journalist Sheinelle Jones moved her family to New York from Philly for her dream job on NBC’s Today show. Five years later she's the cohost of the beloved morning show's third hour, the co-anchor of the Saturday edition of Weekend Today and a correspondent for all platforms of NBC News. Here, she explains what she wore to her first day on the job. If you think picking out a dress for work is stressful, imagine having to do it with the knowledge that millions of people will be seeing—and maybe judging—it. Sheinelle and Perrie also talk about ’90s style (shout out to Timberland boots and shopping at men’s stores), parenting, aging, her remarkably supportive colleagues, and the fact that she still doesn’t own an “I’m successful!” handbag despite being, in fact, quite successful.

Watch Sheinelle on NBC six days a week, on 3rd Hour Today and Weekend Today, and listen to her at 1 p.m. on Tuesdays on SiriusXM’s Off the Rails.
