On the blue carpet at the 2016 NBC Universal Upfront Presentation at Radio City Music Hall, the then-37-year-old TV host was white hot in a Victoria Beckham dress, which showcased her slender curves.

She looked radiant in the slim-fitting white number, which had slit details, elbow-length sleeves, a back-zip closure, and a deep v-neckline that revealed a hint of cleavage.

Maria kept her jewelry to a minimum, with only a pair of earrings and some rings. She sported sultry makeup and pulled her tresses into a chic braided ponytail with loose tendrils framing her face.

She added some Grecian vibe to the look with a pair of gold heels with wraparound ankle ties by Aquazzura.
