She wrote: "SORRY!!! HAD TO post this collection of fashion ... I'm giving @reesewitherspoon , Katniss Everdeen from Hunger Games, I Love Lucy, and Kelly Ripa!!!" And the daytime host decided to pull off the look herself.
However, she took it one step further by saying that she was "working it," getting up out of her chair to stare the camera down while she started swaying side to side, the way the Toxic singer would in several of her home videos.

The clip was posted to social media, and fans instantly reacted positively, with a flurry of flame and heart emojis as one wrote: "That's how every woman should enter a room! Lol!"
