In it, she wore a simple outfit: jeans, a black blazer, and a gray hoodie. But the real statement came from the bold silver \u201c6\u201d on her front and \u201c7\u201d on her back. This wasn\u2019t just a quirky costume; it was a nod to a trend so viral that Dictionary.com crowned \u201c67\u201d as its Word of the Year for 2025.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com\/image\/upload\/t_fit-760w,f_auto,q_auto:best\/rockcms\/2025-10\/savannah-guthrie-halloween-costume-te-251029-1b3f11.jpg\" alt=\"See Savannah Guthrie's '67' Halloween Costume\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For those not living in the world of TikTok or following the latest Gen Alpha slang, the \u201867\u2019 phenomenon might seem baffling. The phrase, popularized by NBA star LaMelo Ball (whose height is, incidentally, 6\u20197\u2019\u2019) and propelled into the mainstream by Skrilla\u2019s song \u201cDoot Doot (67),\u201d is, in many ways, a meme without a meaning. Kids across the globe\u2014especially those under 13\u2014have adopted the \u201csix, seven\u201d hand gesture, raising and lowering their palms in a rhythmic, almost ritualistic way, and sprinkling the phrase into conversations for no apparent reason.<\/p>\n<h2>Why the \u201867\u2019 Meme Resonates With Parents\u2014and Guthrie Herself<\/h2>\n<p>Guthrie, a mother of two (Vale, 11, and Charlie, 8), isn\u2019t just observing this trend from the sidelines. She\u2019s living it. Her costume is more than a playful jab at her children\u2019s lingo; it\u2019s a gentle wink at every parent trying to keep up with the ever-shifting world of youth culture. Comments flooded her Instagram, with one parent joking, \u201cOh that should drive your kids crazy,\u201d and another suggesting, \u201cAll parents should unite in wearing this costume. To extinguish this saying collectively, forever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s this mix of bemusement and camaraderie that makes Guthrie\u2019s choice resonate. She isn\u2019t mocking her kids\u2014she\u2019s engaging with them, stepping into their world for a moment, and perhaps, gently poking fun at the generational gap. And in doing so, she reflects a broader reality: today\u2019s parents are constantly negotiating the boundary between participating in their children\u2019s digital lives and simply letting them be.<\/p>\n<h2>The Viral Journey: From NBA Courts to Dictionary.com\u2019s Word of the Year<\/h2>\n<p>The journey of \u201c67\u201d from a basketball player\u2019s stats to a cultural touchstone is a case study in how language evolves in the digital age. As <em>Dictionary.com<\/em> explained in its October 29 press release, \u201cSome say it means \u2018so-so, or \u2018maybe this, maybe that,\u2019 especially when paired with its signature hand gesture where both palms face up and move alternately up and down.\u201d But the real magic, according to lexicographer Steve Johnson, is its ambiguity: \u201cThe most defining feature of 67 is that it\u2019s impossible to define. It\u2019s meaningless, ubiquitous, and nonsensical.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet, as Johnson notes, that very lack of meaning makes it meaningful to those who use it. It\u2019s a social signal, a performance, an inside joke. When kids shout \u201csix, seven,\u201d they\u2019re not just mimicking a meme\u2014they\u2019re expressing a feeling, marking themselves as part of a group. Skrilla, the artist behind the trend, confessed to <em>The Wall Street Journal<\/em>, \u201cI never put an actual meaning on it, and I still would not want to. Its lack of meaning is why everybody keeps saying it.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>DIY, Relatability, and Guthrie\u2019s Halloween Philosophy<\/h2>\n<p>Halloween on <em>Today<\/em> is often a high-production affair, with anchors pulling out all the stops. Guthrie\u2019s 2025 costume, however, leaned into DIY simplicity. The handmade paper cutouts, the casual outfit, the at-home video\u2014it\u2019s all a nod to the kind of creativity and resourcefulness familiar to every parent. In 2024, she dressed as Elle Woods from <em>Legally Blonde<\/em>, earning an \u201cApproved\u201d comment from Reese Witherspoon herself. This year, though, the costume was less about Hollywood glam and more about authenticity and connection.<\/p>\n<p>By choosing \u201867\u2019, Guthrie demonstrates that sometimes the best costumes are the ones that make you laugh, make you think, and bring people together. She\u2019s not trying to be the star of the party\u2014she\u2019s trying to be present in the moment, to share a joke with her kids, and to remind everyone that Halloween, at its core, is about fun.<\/p>\n<h2>Halloween 2025: Celebrity Costumes Reflect Changing Trends<\/h2>\n<p>Guthrie wasn\u2019t the only celebrity leaning into social media trends this year. Stars like Paris Hilton, Kourtney Kardashian, and Bette Midler all showcased costumes inspired by pop culture icons and internet memes. From Elsa Hosk\u2019s Princess Diana \u201crevenge dress\u201d homage to Kim Kardashian\u2019s TikTok star getup, the lines between digital and real-life personas continue to blur.<\/p>\n<p>But Guthrie\u2019s costume stands out for its subtlety and self-awareness. It\u2019s not about dazzling crowds or winning best-dressed\u2014it\u2019s about joining a conversation already happening in millions of homes. For parents and kids alike, it\u2019s a reminder that trends don\u2019t have to make sense to be fun. Sometimes, they\u2019re just a way to connect.<\/p>\n<p><em>In a world saturated with meaning and explanation, Savannah Guthrie\u2019s embrace of \u201867\u2019 offers a refreshing pause\u2014a moment where the point isn\u2019t clarity, but connection. Her costume is less about following the crowd and more about understanding it, showing that even the most nonsensical trends can build bridges between generations.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Savannah Guthrie\u2019s playful \u201867\u2019 Halloween costume taps into a viral TikTok meme, showing how internet culture and parenting now intersect in unexpected ways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18745,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"googlesitekit_rrm_CAow5Nm1DA:productID":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[27352,27304,27351,27353,18279],"class_list":["post-18746","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-culture","tag-67-tiktok-trend","tag-dictionary-com-word-of-the-year","tag-halloween-2025","tag-parenting-and-internet-culture","tag-savannah-guthrie"],"featured_image_url":"https:\/\/azat.tv\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/tmpm2jxq5ig.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/azat.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18746","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/azat.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/azat.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/azat.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/azat.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18746"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/azat.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18746\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/azat.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18745"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/azat.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18746"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/azat.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=18746"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/azat.tv\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=18746"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
