Kelly Ripa turned up the heat for the festive season posing in her underwear but fans were left a little bemused.
The TV host, 53, and her husband, Mark Consuelos, got into the Christmas spirit with a post shared on Instagram.
In the first image, the long-time couple were dressed to the nines and beaming in front of their incredible, decorated tree.
In the second, they were underdressed with matching T-shirts with the words 'Big Nick Energy' emblazoned on the front of them.
Kelly opted out of pants and wore green underwear that sparked a conversation between her social media followers.
Many asked why she was only wearing panties while others were convinced she was in her bathing suit. "Why is she in her underwear," wrote one, while a second said: "People!!!! It’s a swimsuit!!!’ Can’t you see the cabana in the background!!"
Others marveled at their youthful appearance and chimed in with comments such as "Kelly you look like a teenager," and, "You look like you are getting younger every year".

Both Kelly and Mark work hard to stay in shape, with the mom-of-three rarely missing a workout.
Her personal trainer, Anna Kaiser, paid tribute to her client earlier this year with a video on Instagram.

"Listen, if I can share one secret with you, that is IT. Show up for you. Show up for your trainer. Show up because you both deserve to make the magic happen together.

"If I had to define Kelly in one word, that would be balance," he said. "To meet the high demands of a very busy lifestyle, Kelly is always one step ahead by the way she takes care of her health and body.
