Kelly Ripa has certainly had her fair share of iconic style moments over the course of her decades long career on daytime TV alone, and used a special new tribute to look back on some of the best.

The talk show host and actress, 52, shared a slew of photos in honor of Live with Kelly and Mark producer and friend Lori Schulweis' milestone 60th birthday.

Several of the snaps were throwback shots from behind-the-scenes of the show and special moments from the series, and they showed off Kelly's spectacular sense of style as well.

While in some the two had gotten into character, dressing up as women from The Handmaid's Tale, in others, Kelly was seen sporting sweeping gowns that highlighted her trim physique and made her appear tall and statuesque.

The lead image, in particular, saw her cozying up to Lori in her Christian Siriano gown from the 2018 Oscars, a beautiful black ball gown with a dramatic skirt and multi-colored bustle.

Art, the executive in charge of production on Live and also WABC-TV's vice president of programming, has been working with Kelly ever since she joined Live back in 2001. Madonna, meanwhile, has made frequent appearances on the show and is a friend of the Ripa-Consuelos clan, and Kelly honored her 65th milestone birthday with some rare photos of theirs as well.
