In addition to being remembered for the worst bikini wardrobe malfunction of all time, she is best known as the host of Extra and E! News.
While Maria Menounos is known for her impeccable style and love of high heels, her confident and bold personality extends beyond the red carpet. One of her most memorable public moments had nothing to do with fashion but rather a high-stakes bet tied to her beloved New England Patriots.
The Bet and Its Consequences: Maria Menounos’s Bold Promise if the Patriots Lost
As Maria Menounos now knows, betting can be extremely risky. Promising to flaunt her boobs in a bikini if the New England Patriots did not win the 2012 Super Bowl, she knew what to do after The Giants defeated the Patriots by the score of 21–17.

“Just finished self-tanning…lost the bet with @ajcalloway and now have to wear a giants bikini in NY. Loss was devastating today,” the then 33-year-old Extra co-host tweeted.
“Problem with this bikini thing? I ate everything you wouldn’t eat in major quantities 2prove my confidence in winning. Now it’ll be on display,” she added.
“Sorry about your loss,” Mario Lopez joked, undoubtedly happy to see Menounos in a red, blue, and white bikini. “I’m in Times Square in the middle of winter in a bikini, Mario,” Maria responded when asked how she was doing.

Maria Menounos is no stranger to turning heads with her shoe choices, whether on the red carpet or during her everyday appearances. One standout moment was at the iHeartRadio Music Festival, where she effortlessly combined bold textures for a striking ensemble.
Fashion at the iHeartRadio Music Festival: Maria Menounos’s Lace and Leather Look
We have to ask. What do you think of this outfit-shoe combination on Maria Menounos? In September 2011, the Greek-American beauty looked fabulous in her lace and leather ensemble at the iHeartRadio Music Festival.

However, we can’t decide how we feel about her shoes: A pair of ankle-wrapping Jimmy Choo booties.

We definitely love the booties, but we don’t know if we love them A) on Maria, or B) with this ensemble.

These peep-toe Jimmy Choo “Kemp” booties feature thin iridescent patent leather straps along the upper that give the shoes a hologram effect on first look.
However, despite the 4.5-inch heels, they make Maria look too short. The top of the booties just hit an unflattering part of Maria’s ankles.

What do you think? Do you love the boots? Hate ’em? Love them, but not with this outfit? This style has unfortunately sold out, but you can browse other Jimmy Choo styles at Farfetch and Nordstrom.
