Amy Robach’s sexy new style is so off-point, she implies nakedness and flaunting her tum is too much, expert says
AMY Robach and TJ Holmes’ new podcast marked a fresh start and comeback for the ex-GMA3 stars, who were ousted from ABC over their affair.
But according to a stylist, Amy’s sudden fashion switch-up has left the mom-of-two teetering between looking “stocky” and “overexposed.”
In the run-up to Amy, 50, and TJ’s podcast release, promotional photos of the couple were shared on social media.
One image posted in November showed Amy and TJ a few days before they ran the New York Marathon.
The blonde journalist looked happy wearing a black lace top. Amy’s midriff showed underneath and TJ’s right arm circled her chest.
New York stylist Amanda Sanders said she was “speechless” about the TV host’s new look.
In an exclusive interview, Sanders told The U.S. Sun: “I am speechless about the black lace top that Amy wore in their podcast promotion.
“The sleeves could be lace, but the front should not be exposed like that.
“There is something about the midriff that for a woman who has had children, is not something you see flaunted.
“It was also so off-point for someone who wants to be taken somewhat seriously and was her big moment.
“Amy feels very sexy and wanted everybody to know about that.”
TJ and Amy were let go from GMA3 earlier this year, after their affair was exposed in November 2022.
Since then, they have tried to maintain a fairly low profile while navigating a new personal life.
Otherwise, little had come to light surrounding any new branding hinging on career moves.
Sanders claimed Amy and TJ’s styling and branding was telling.
“I doubt they will be talking about heavy things on this podcast,” she said.
“It must all be lighthearted stuff.
“Amy can not be talking about what is going on in Israel while wearing a belly-revealing shirt.
“No one will take her seriously in her job as a journalist.
“They are trying to achieve this ‘power couple’ look while also trying to look like ‘American sweethearts.’
“They do pull that part off and seem harmoniously blended.”
After leaving ABC, Amy and TJ’s careers hung by a thread.
In the wake of their sacking, their marriages collapsed with both couples splitting.
Amy moved out of her family home which she shared with her ex-husband, actor Andrew Shue.
She was previously married to Tim McIntosh with whom she shares daughters Ava, 21, and Annalise, 17.
TJ filed for divorce from his wife, attorney Marilee Fiebig, with whom he shares a daughter, Sabine.
Since then the couple have been seen out running in workout gear, on dates in New York, or vacationing together.
On Thursday, another image Amy and TJ was shared on Instagram. They were laughing sitting together on a sofa.
Dressed in matching jeans and tops, Amy captioned the post: Why yes, we ???????????????? be serving tea…
Sanders said: “They look very his & her in the other promotion photo, and so relaxed.
“So here is a different impression from TJ which is really nice.”
Then this weekend, the pair spent time in Los Angeles.
Amy and TJ’s first red carpet event as a couple came on Friday at the iHeartRadio’s Jingle Ball on the West Coast.
They stood close to each other but avoided stealing a kiss, as the media looked on.
The long-anticipated photo opp preceded a private podcast dinner at Nobu in Malibu.
Sanders said: “The iHeart media pictures were their first red carpet event together.
“Amy did not look great, but TJ looked nice.
“TJ’s pants were a bit too long, so he had not had his pants tailored properly.
“Unfortunately for Amy, because she was wearing boots they cut in at her leg.
“Amy is not super tall, so she looked stocky and heavy.
“She should have been wearing a pump, or a more flattering shoe.
“This was not a good look with Amy where she was trying to be rock’n’roll.
“Her hair also needed to be softer.
“The black leather dress was all a bit too stiff.”
Saturday’s Malibu dinner date also saw Amy show off her bare legs.
Sanders claimed the podcast host was, yet again, trying to look sexy.
“While Amy got her shoes right on the Saturday, from behind, her jacket looked like she was naked underneath it,” she said
“Here she was in Los Angeles looking sexier, but wearing fewer clothes.
“It was that ideal of sexy and her saying, ‘I’m with somebody new, I feel good about myself.’
“TJ must be very supportive of Amy’s sexy style as it seems so different and sexual.
“TJ is becoming quite a fashionista.
“This could mean TJ has been taking her out shopping and buying her things.
“Amy also views herself very differently now and wants to dress differently based on that.
“I do not think anybody else is styling Amy or TJ.
“Maybe she never had the encouragement before to wear things like this.
“TJ might be very influential in her sexy clothes choices.”
