She is best known as the co-host of the syndicated morning talk show, Live! Ripa got her start in the entertainment business as an actress on the daytime soap opera All My Children in 1990.
The star talked about the dress and blazer -- even admitting that she owns several -- although the video seemed more about the visuals than the talk.
Her birthday is October 2, 1970.
Unsurprisingly, Ripa has been hosting the show solo ever since.
