Maria Menounos dazzles in a dreamy floral dress in Kelly Ripa’s Live seat

July 29, 2021 – 16:13 BST Brandi Fowler Maria Menounos stunned in a floral dress as she co-hosted Live With Kelly and Ryan again in Kelly Ripa’s absence.

It’s worth taking note of Maria Menounos’ summer style, especially this week on Live With Kelly and Ryan. 

Just a day after making fans swoon in an Elliat cropped look, the fashionista returned to the show on Thursday to take over Kelly Ripa’s co-hosting duties again wearing a gorgeous, tiered floral dress that came complete with a high-neck and billowy three-quarter sleeves.

Maria completed the look with pumps and wore her hair in a ponytail with a portion of her locks braided in the front. And to kick things off the style star hit a few squats in the dress – and her heels – before she took her seat.

Maria also rocked her hair in a sleek half-up, half-down hairstyle as she chatted with Ryan Seacrest about the day’s hot topics. 

The fashion maven’s appearance comes just a couple of days after fellow fashionista Tamron Hall sat in for Kelly on Monday wearing a blue and white printed wrap dress that came complete with puff sleeves and a tie-waist that flattered her figure.
