“Brilliant and comfy”: Fans excited as Savannah Guthrie wears “confusing” ‘67’ Halloween costume

Broadcaster Savannah Guthrie leaves fans aghast with her Halloween costume inspired by the latest Gen Z trend, as people call it,

"brilliant and comfy!"

Today anchor Savannah Guthrie showcased that she is up to date with all the recent Gen Alpha lingo when she posted a reel of her new DIY Halloween costume. Following the "67" trend, the anchor wore two signs with the numbers individually, "6" in the front and "7" in the back. She posted the reel on October 29 to the song “Doot Doot (6 7)” along with the caption, "Halloween costume ✔️."

The "67" trend has taken over the internet like wildfire. It doesn’t have an actual meaning but rather represents a feeling that resonates with kids of Gen Alpha. It originates from Skrilla’s song "Doot Doot (6 7)," in which he raps, "6-7, I just bipped right on the highway," along with a hand gesture. And though there isn’t much to the numbers or the trend, due to its popularity, Dictionary.com crowned it the word of the year.

The fact that it lacks meaning was also acknowledged by the rapper himself. He told The Wall Street Journal,

“I never put an actual meaning on it, and I still would not want to,” adding that the absence of meaning is “why everybody keeps saying it.”

Internet reacts to Savannah Guthrie's costume

The costume, as smart as it was, elicited mixed reactions from people. While some were surprised and praised Guthrie for a simple, comfortable yet popular costume, others were left confused. This was especially true for people older than Gen Z and Alpha who aren’t chronically online.

One user stated,

"The best part is I initially thought you were dressed as the year 1976, then realized it’s 6-7"

While another questioned,

WHAT DOES IT MEAN??? Someone explain this to me!!!! Signed, confused mom🤪

A user commented,

"This is ironic, and I love it because the little people won’t really understand. 😆"

A few, especially teachers, commented that they were stealing the idea for their own costumes as well.

According to Today, Savannah Guthrie is not the only one to jump on the bandwagon, as the trend is expected to be one of the biggest of the year. The song first went viral as an ode to NBA star LaMelo Ball, who is 6'7", before becoming a reference for kids to quote at the most random of times.
