It’s officially the most wonderful time of the year, and the BBC Breakfast cast are certainly getting into the festive spirit. Christmas Day looks different for everyone. From dressing up to the nines, to hosting at home, to rocking festive PJs from dawn to dusk.
It’s fair to say the BBC broadcasters didn’t disappoint with their festive looks both on and off the airwaves in the run-up to Christmas. Let’s take a look at some of the most glamorous looks the staple cast have embraced for the festive season.
Sally Nugent
Last month, Sally Nugent left fans speechless when she showed off her latest winter ensemble in an Instagram video. The 54-year-old journalist took to Instagram, where she showcased her festive cream jumper, adorned with holly and ivy patterns. It also featured ivy patterns and dark green embroidery around the neckline.
She teamed the short-sleeved knitwear with a pair of dark blue jeans and gem earrings, which decorated her lobes. In the run-up to Remembrance Day, the mum-of-one showed her respect by adding a poppy brooch to her collar.
Sally let her brunette tresses fall in loose waves around her shoulders, elevating her look with a gold chain bracelet around one wrist as she got to work baking brownies in her kitchen. She opted to go barefoot in her glam home as she gave her adorable pooch, Sadie, a cuddle.
It didn’t take long before fans flocked to the comments to pass on their compliments online, with one user gushing: “You’re absolutely gorgeous [five heart emojis]” as another echoed: “[fire emoji] stunning in the kitchen.”

Carol Kirkwood
Back in 2023, meteorologist Carol Kirkwood left fans at a loss for words as she took to the airwaves in a glitzy fitted dress. The BBC weatherwoman wished her 60,000 Instagram fans a Merry Christmas by sharing a glam snap of herself on the big day. Standing in front of a festive background decorated with holly, she wore a glittery navy-blue dress with three-quarter-length sleeves that hugged her hourglass figure.
The 61-year-old styled her blonde locks into loose waves, which perfectly framed her face, and paired them with natural-looking makeup that accentuated her youthful appearance as she smiled at the camera. She simply captioned the post: “Merry Christmas!! Hope you and yours have a wonderful day,” signing off with two kisses.
It didn’t take long before fans rushed to the comments to compliment the present online, with one writing: “Merry Christmas Carol, looking fabulous as always.” Another agreed: “Best wishes to you and yours. Looking particularly lovely today as well.” A third echoed: “Breathtaking. Merry Christmas.”

Naga Munchetty
Stepping back a few years, Naga Munchetty appeared to be heading off to a Christmas party as she fronted the breakfast show in 2022. The 50-year-old presenter rocked a black sparkly top for the Christmas Eve special as she hosted the show alongside her co-host Charlie Stayt.
She paired the ensemble with a brown leather-look skirt and rocked a dark red lipstick as she sat in front of the studio Christmas tree. Her dazzling black outfit twinkled under the studio lights on the morning show, while her co-star Charlie Stayt rocked his usual suit and tie combo.
It didn’t take long before viewers flocked to social media to share their compliments for the presenter’s glamorous ensemble online. One user penned: “Naga, you’re truly amazing and beautiful, you looked sensational this morning. Hope you have a great Xmas.”
Another agreed: “Hi, Naga. You look gorgeous and sparkly this morning,” as another echoed: “Loving the jumper this morning. Merry Christmas.”

Emma Vardy
Back in 2021, BBC Breakfast fans were left in awe when news reporter Emma Vardy posed up a storm in a sexy Santa costume ahead of the festivities. The Beeb’s Ireland correspondent sent pulses racing in a low-cut red dress complete with the signature fur trim lining, accessorised with a back belt and a hood.
She rocked the showstopping outfit as she delivered presents to family members who were isolating with Covid. Playing Santa for the day, the broadcaster left gifts on the doorstep in a sweet gesture. Vardy stood in front of a Christmas tree as she shared a selfie of herself in the red-and-white ensemble while holding a glass of fizz in one hand.
Completing the look with some festive bow earrings, she captioned the post: “Merry Christmas, Belfast. Been out delivering pressies on the doorstep to family members struck down by Covid, so couldn’t resist a wee outfit. Hope everyone’s having a great day.”
It didn’t take long before fans flocked to the comments to pass on their compliments online. One user penned: “Nice one, Miss Claus”, as another agreed: “Merry Christmas, Emma… looking fantastic… all the best to you and your family.”
