  • Savannah, 47, took to Instagram on Friday to share a photo of herself modeling a red winter coat and matching leggings 
  • With her all-red outfit, black Ugg boots, white knit hat, and tan scarf, Savannah looked like a real-life Elf on the Shelf 
  • The mother-of-two snapped the photo before heading out to pick up her daughter, Vale, four, and son, Charley, two, up from school 
  • February is American Heart Month, and the first Friday of the month has been designated as National Wear Red Day to raise awareness for heart health 
  • It's unclear if Savannah's all-red outfit was in honor of National Wear Red Day, but it seems likely, as the Today star also sported a red blazer earlier in the day

Many New Yorkers have thrown style out the window while braving the below-freezing temperatures this week, but Savannah Guthrie couldn't help but mock her bold polar vortex look. 

The 47-year-old Today anchor took to Instagram on Friday to share a photo of herself smiling brightly while modeling a bright red winter jacket and matching leggings.

'When you inadvertently dress like the Elf on the Shelf for school pickup #polarvortex,' she captioned the image, which was taken in her Manhattan apartment.

The mother-of-two snapped the photo before heading out to pick up her daughter, Vale, four, and son, Charley, two, from school after appearing on the Today show earlier in the day.

Savannah's co-star and friend Jenna Bush Hager commented on the post, sharing heart and fire emoji to show that she approved of the eye-catching outfit.

'[It is] National Wear Red Day, so it's perfect for today,' another person wrote. 

February is American Heart Month, and the first Friday of the month has been designated as National Wear Red Day to raise awareness for women's heart health.

It's unclear if Savannah's all-red winter outfit was in honor of National Wear Red Day, but it seems likely, as the Today star also sported a red blazer on the show earlier in the day. 

Nearly two weeks ago, Savannah was enjoying a winter weekend getaway with Jenna, Siri Daly, and their families in Rhinebeck, New York. 

Savannah posted a snapshot of herself posing with Jenna, 37, and Siri, 38, as they showed off their matching green T-shirts, which had the words 'Upstate of Mind' splashed across the top in white. 

'I will be remaining upstate of mind until further notice,' she captioned the image, but that wasn't the only matching that was going on. 

The Today star also posted a series of images of the moms posing on the couch with their daughters in matching pink heart pajamas.

In the snapshots, Savanna has Jenna's three-year-old daughter, Poppy, on her lap, while her daughter, Vale, is curled up next to Jenna, who is also holding her five-year-old daughter, Mila.

Siri, meanwhile, is sitting with her four-year-old daughter, London, on her lap, and her six-year-old daughter, Etta, to her left.

'Matching by day and by night #upstateofmind,' Savannah captioned the group images, which show them laughing and smiling.

Jenna posted a similar snapshot, hinting that the moms may have also been joined by their husbands.

'Girls rule...#andcharley #andhusbands #andqueso #andmatchingPJ’s,' she wrote, referencing Savannah's two-year-old son, Charley.

Another snapshot from the day shows just the moms posing in their matching PJs inside the snow-covered vacation home.

Savannah, Jenna, and Siri, a Today food contributor, are as close as can be and love spending time with each other on and off the Today show set.
