Kathie Lee Gifford went on a trip down memory lane on Thursday, as she looked back at old photos from over the years.
The former Today Show star took to Instagram to post a gorgeous throwback of herself in the early days of her career, where she rocked an iconic bouncy layered bob and wispy bangs.
In the close-up headshot, Kathie posed with her hand resting on her head, and looked straight at the camera, beaming.
The mother-of-two's makeup was done to perfection, consisting of a flawless base, a rose tinted blush, pink lips and smokey eyes with lashings of mascara.
Fans were quick to comment on the beautiful picture, with many telling Kathie that her haircut had inspired them at the time to get the chop.
"I remember getting my hair cut to look like yours," one wrote, while another remarked: "I loved your hair and always asked for the same cut." A third added: "Beautiful, I have loved all of your hairstyles."
Kathie shot to fame in 1977 as a sidekick on Tom Kennedy's Name That Tune.

She worked alongside the late TV star until 2000, before returning to TV hosting eight years later on the Fourth Hour of Today alongside Hoda Kotb.

She has returned to the show on several occasions and has remained good friends with her former co-stars. Just last month, the 70-year-old returned to Today alongside her daughter, Cassidy, to promote their new show, The Baxters.

Cassidy was less than amused by her mom, telling Jenna: "So sorry Jenna," as the mother-of-three replied: "Cassidy's about to die." Jenna had nothing to fear though, as when she asked Kathie if she would ever want to return to her job, she said no.

"And back then, you weren't editing yourself all the time. And that's the trouble with today too, with humor. When you've gotta think about what you're going to say, the fun goes out."
When Hoda asked if she ever edited with her, she teased in response: "I've got some stories on you, baby," joking that it'll all be in the "next book".
