Vanna White has worn over 8,000 dresses since she joined *Wheel of Fortune* in 1982, but one dress stood out so much she nearly kept it.

Speaking at Hulu’s Get Real event, White, now 68, recalled a full-length white gown with pink feathers at the bottom. “It reminded me of a Barbie outfit I had as a kid,” she said. “Pink is my favorite color — it was just perfect.”

White spent 40 years co-hosting with Pat Sajak before his 2024 retirement. Ryan Seacrest has since stepped in as her new co-host.

“He did his research, practiced, and made it clear he wasn’t replacing Pat, just stepping in,” White explained.

She and Seacrest recently filmed a special episode in Hawaii while he was also working on *American Idol*. “We had a blast — he’s such a character,” she said.

Outside of the show, White enjoys quality time with her son, Nikko Santo Pietro, whom she shares with her ex-husband, George Santo Pietro. The pair have gone viral for their cooking videos on Instagram.

“He’s a great cook. I’m terrible,” White admitted, sharing that she avoids watching him salt the food since she doesn’t like much salt.

Nikko added, “I always tell her to close her eyes when I salt!”

Fans have also taken notice of Nikko’s charm, which he finds flattering. Looking ahead, Nikko revealed he hopes to collaborate with celebrity chef Bobby Flay — and hinted that some exciting opportunities may be on the horizon.
