Today host Savannah Guthrie makes rare change to her appearance and shows off new look on morning show

TODAY host Savannah Guthrie has changed up her look with a loose bun for a recent episode of the morning show.

Savannah, 51, wore her hair up and out of her face on Tuesday's edition of the Today show.

In addition to the new hairstyle, Savannah wore a light application of makeup.

She also donned a crisp, colorful outfit appropriate for spring.

The Today anchor typically opts to wear her hair down and loose, usually around her face.

She curls her hair with face-framing tendrils.

Usually, Savannah doesn't make too many changes to her appearance that come out this dramatic.

The anchor recently ended her social media break during Lent.

It looks like she thought it might be time to try something a little newer while reporting the news.

SHE'S BACK!

Meanwhile, Savannah has ended her break of no social media for Lent.

The Today Show host shared a new at-home photo and vowed to "act differently."

In the Christian religion, it is tradition to give up something for Lent.

Whether it is fast food, social media, or toxic behavior, it is up to the person to pick what they want to improve on.

Savannah gave up posting to social media for Lent's 40 days.

During that time, her assistant posted pictures and updates to her accounts.

But now that Easter passed, she is free to post the photos herself again.

The Today Show host broke her fast on Easter Sunday.

She shared a photo of herself with bunny ears on, as well, as pink sunglasses, and a coat.

"Back on Instagram! maybe differently now? a beautiful meaningful respite. Happy Easter!" Savannah captioned the post.

It is not immediately clear how Savannah will be posting differently.

'GIVING UP'

A week before Lent started, Savannah announced via social media that she would be taking a break from posting until Easter.

The 51-year-old left fans shocked, but proud of her surprising decision.

She shared that she’d recently come to some realizations about her relationship with social media.

The TV personality said she’s tired of scrolling Instagram “reflexively” and decided to take a break from it all.

It’ll be a “challenge,” she said, but one she’s ready to take on in the hopes of becoming "more reflective."

To her Instagram Story, Savannah posted a screenshot of her about to delete the app from her phone.

She wrote with it: “Giving up Instagram for lent! See post for details!!”

On her feed, she shared similar screenshots and wrote a lengthier caption to explain her decision.

The Today host began: “UPDATE: Savannah just found out Lent starts next week, but the Instagram fast starts day! 

“I’m giving up Instagram for lent. I’m not catholic, and I’ve never given up anything for lent before.” 

The mother-of-two went on: "I’m doing it to challenge myself: to be more reflective, to not just reflexively scroll Instagram and instead use that time for something more productive and life-giving to myself and others. 

“I’m telling you this so that I will have accountability!!” 

At the end of the caption, Savannah asked her followers to let her know if they’d care to join her on the challenge.

She explained that “any work related posts” on her account before then will have been done her her assistant.

Her fans and co-hosts, alike, sent Savannah support in the comments section.

Sheinelle Jones joked, “Ok fine I’ll just talk to you during commercial breaks,” before adding, You got this!”

Meanwhile, Jenna Bush Hager revealed: “I gave it up tooooooo!!!!”

One fan told Savannah: “I’ve done this for about 5 years now. It’s fantastic!”

Another commented: “Great idea! I’m in! We can do it”

“I’ve done it before and you just gave me the incentive to do it again,” a third fan wrote.

HIT AND MISS

In March, Today Show fans accused Savannah of breaking her fast after a photo was posted to her account.

But, fans appeared to be more distracted by the shoes her husband Michael Feldman was wearing at the lavish Vanity Fair Oscars party in Beverly Hills.

Popular anchor Savannah dazzled in a long black gown as she attended the star-studded celebration with Feldman.

The pair had their arms wrapped around each other as they posed for snaps on the blue carpet.

Viewers were divided after noticing that Feldman was wearing sports shoes.

Some viewers were puzzled why he hadn't paired formal shoes with his dapper black suit.

One fan asked: "Did Mike forget his dress shoes?"

Others thought Feldman looked suave in his leather sneakers and suit.

A social media user posted: "Gorgeous couple. Love your dress and your husband's shoes."

And another commented: "Sneakers might be the best part of the pic."

But, viewers noticed the post was uploaded during Savannah’s break from Instagram.

One social media user asked the daytime TV host: “I thought you weren’t going to post during Lent?”

Another puzzled commenter said: “Is lent over already?”

It’s possible that one of Savannah’s staffers or family members posted the picture on her account.
