missrep: The colorful evolution of newswomen’s attire “For decades, the suit jacket transformed women into workers. With jackets required for entrance at male-dominated clubs and boardrooms, women bundled up their breasts to blend into a professional culture that predated their arrival… ‘There has been an evolution of women’s wear on television. Part of that is the changing times, but it’s also because there are more women in media who feel comfortable about what they want to wear.’” - Norah O’Donnell, Chief White House Correspondent for CBS News I think Ann Curry might be one of the best examples of women wearing brighter colors and interesting fashion’s while on the job. During her time as co-host of the Today Show I couldn’t help but notice how she put together her wardrobe. It was really striking. And while she was treated horribly at the end of her tenure (which was rather uncalled for to be honest) it appears that Ann was able to not only do her job well but she didn’t feel the need to be dressed in black. Throughout her career she’s shown that you don’t need to be dressed in serious colors to be taken seriously. -- source link
