Surprise Ride on the Wienermobile
In a video posted on The Drew Barrymore Show’s Instagram, the 50 First Dates star was seen being taken outside the studio while wearing a blindfold.
After Matthew’s countdown, Barrymore removed the blindfold and screamed like a child as she saw the iconic hotdog-shaped advertising vehicle.

A Childhood Dream Comes True
Revealing she had a hunch that it was the Wienermobile, Barrymore said, “I was gonna say, this is so crazy, I was like, ‘Don’t tell me it’s the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile!'” Startled, she fell to her knees and attempted to crawl towards the 27-foot-long vehicle, but she had to quickly get back up since her airy pastel rainbow dress was in the way.
“My whole life, I’ve been waiting for this,” Drew said after Ross asked if she was ready to get inside the Wienermobile.
Barrymore happily hopped into the vehicle, carrying a hotdog. Upon seeing the interior, she screamed before sitting down and putting on her meatbelts.

A Wax Figure Surprise from Jimmy Fallon
Following their Wienermobile tour of New York City, Barrymore and Ross returned to the studio, where she was greeted with yet another surprise.
When asked, “What is 5 feet four inches and will have you seeing double?” Barrymore answered, “Me?” Jimmy Fallon was then shown on screen, wishing the actress a Happy Birthday and informing her that she would get a wax figure at Madame Tussauds.

The enchanting “Sunbird” dress had a semi-sheer construction cut from delicate silk fabric with a pleated design that extended from the bodice to the floor-length skirt. It skimmed Barrymore’s body perfectly, giving her an ethereal appearance.
The Spring/Summer 2023 dress, $6,540 at Farfetch, had sweeping cape sleeves that added a regal touch to the ensemble and a plunging V-neckline and V-back that exposed some skin. It also featured an empire waist, highlighted by a metallic silver braided belt that Barrymore opted not to wear.

Stylish Accents and Towering Platforms
Lee Harris styled Barrymore’s captivating look with jewelry from Irene Neuwirth. She wore a few gemstone rings and dangling earrings with colorful tourmalines.
Her gorgeous features were enhanced with delicate pink makeup to go with her pastel outfit, and her hair was pulled back into a loose ponytail in messy waves.
Elevating the look by several inches, Barrymore wore a pair of the Marc Jacobs “Kiki” boots in pink silk satin. Originally part of the fall/winter 2016 collection, these boots boast 4-inch sky-high platforms and around 6.75-inch towering block heels. Along with a 15-inch-tall strappy shaft with decorative buckles, they also have side zips for easy on and off.
