Vanna White Shares Hilarious ‘Wheel of Fortune’ Dress Mishap
Vanna White recently recalled a memorable on-air moment involving a Christmas prop. She described a hilarious Wheel of Fortune dress mishap that unfolded during a holiday episode.
The on-set blunder
During the episode, wrapped presents sat near the puzzle board. One gift had a large bow that became attached to her gown.
Pat Sajak laughed loudly while White continued the segment unaware. She said she only realized the problem at the end of the round.
How the bow got stuck
White explained the bow snagged on a layer of the dress. The fabric included tulle, which made the attachment likely.
She told Entertainment Weekly the bow remained stuck as she walked back and forth. The moment made for an unexpectedly funny live moment.
Career context and collectibles
White has been part of more than 8,000 Wheel of Fortune episodes. Her tenure on the show spans roughly 44 years.
As part of a fundraiser, some of her wardrobe and props are now available for purchase. The campaign benefits the Make-A-Wish Foundation under the “Wishmakers Wanted” initiative.
Items up for auction
- A custom Bob Mackie gown worn once for about 30 minutes.
- Sequined “Wheel of Fortune” pajamas White requested to wear on air.
White noted the Bob Mackie dress felt special because the designer attended the taping. She also said the gown remained in excellent condition.
Other notable moments
In 2019, a taping was canceled after Pat Sajak required emergency surgery. The November 7, 2019 session was called off while Sajak recovered from a blocked intestine.
White stepped in as host during his recovery. That period illustrated her versatility on the long-running program.
