Kelly Ripa, the beloved television host and actress, was officially named a Disney Legend at the D23 event in Anaheim, California, this Sunday. The honor, which is bestowed on individuals who have significantly influenced The Walt Disney Company, cements Ripa’s enduring legacy in the entertainment industry.

Ripa graced the event in a chic polka dot dress, with footwear the coordinated spot on. The “Live with Kelly and Mark” star completed her look with a pair of striking white pointed-toe pumps. The elegant heels featured a sleek silhouette and sharp lines that perfectly complemented her sophisticated ensemble. The choice of white was both bold and refreshing, standing out beautifully against the red carpet while echoing her signature blend of timeless style and modern flair.

As Ripa accepted her Disney Legend award, she was reunited with a familiar face—her former “Live” cohost, Ryan Seacrest. In a sweet and emotional moment, Seacrest, who left “Live with Kelly and Ryan” last year, presented the award to Ripa. The gesture was a touching nod to their years of on-screen camaraderie, made even more special by the presence of Ripa’s husband, Mark Consuelos, who now cohosts the morning show with her.
