Kelly Ripa is never one to disregard a throwback, and this Instagram photo even saw her saying she's grateful the image "exists." In August 2021, the talk show host updated her feed with a glam snap showing her with husband Mark Consuelos, and the two were dressed up to the nines for a fancy event. Showing off her slender figure in a gorgeous backless dress, Kelly highlighted her slim silhouette, also putting on a strong couples display with the man she's been married to since 1996. Of course, an Instagram post from Kelly isn't complete without a witty caption, and fans got one here.

Drawing the eye to her gym-honed figure, former ballerina Kelly wowed in a peachy-pink dress with a satin feel, halterneck bow detail at the back, plus a back-baring finish. Rocking her signature blonde locks tied up and with strands down one side of her face, Kelly looked drop-dead gorgeous as she smiled while gazing ahead, also showing off her delicate facial features and high cheeekbones.
