Something old! During her big return to Live With Kelly and Michael on Tuesday, April 26 — which was overshadowed hours later by the news of Michael Strahan's early departure — Kelly Ripa shared a photo from her vacation of herself wearing her wedding dress to commemorate her 20th anniversary with her husband, Mark Consuelos.

The talk show host, 45, made sure to pack the frock for her pre-planned anniversary getaway to Turks and Caicos, which Us Weekly first reported amid her drama with Strahan and ABC execs last week.

While delivering her monologue on Tuesday, Ripa flashed a pic of herself cozying up to her husband during their trip. In the snapshot, Ripa wears the special dress: a slinky white spaghetti strap gown that fits her beautifully — as it did 20 years ago.

"That’s my wedding dress. And guess what? It still fits!" Ripa told viewers. "The dress is 25 years old. My marriage is 20 years old. I didn’t buy it as a wedding dress. I just bought it because it was really pretty, and I wanted to buy something from the Barneys Warehouse sale. I was working the soap. I didn’t make a lot of money. It was $199 on final clearance sale. ‘Do I eat this week, or do I get this dress?’ Literally, this was the thought process."

At the time, Ripa was acting on ABC soap opera All My Children alongside Consuelos, who played her onscreen love interest. Eventually, their chemistry turned into a real-life romance, and they married in May 1996 — with Ripa in that very gown.

"I said to myself, ‘I bet if I buy this, maybe it will be an investment piece. Maybe I will wear it more than once,'" Ripa comically recalled. "I swear to you, I wear it constantly. It’s a beach cover-up now. I wear it all the time. It was the best $199 I ever spent in my life."

Amid her drama with Strahan last week, Consuelos took to his Twitter and briefly thanked their close friends for their support. He and Ripa share three kids, Michael, 18, Lola, 14, and Joaquin, 13.

Master of disguise! Neil Patrick Harris looked unrecognizable as the terrifying Count Olaf in new photos from the set of A Series of Unfortunate Events.

PHOTOS: Best and Worst Movie Remakes

Harris is playing the eccentric villain in the Netflix TV adaptation ofLemony Snicket’s beloved 13-book series. The show is currently filming in Vancouver, Canada, and the actor was spotted looking nothing like himself, what with gray hair, receding hairline, scruffy facial hair and a prosthetic nose. The comedian’s new look seems to perfectly match Snicket’s frequent descriptions of Olaf as extremely tall and thin with a unibrow and poor hygiene.

The novels follows the orphaned Baudelaire siblings, Violet, Klaus and Sunny, who are sent to live with their distant cousin, Count Olaf, who plots to steal their inheritance. Once he loses guardianship of the children, he follows them to each subsequent housing placement, always wearing different disguises and attempting to take their fortune.

This isn’t the first time the saga has been developed by Hollywood. The first three books were made into a film adaptation in 2004 with Jim Carrey as a similarly scary Count Olaf. The new Netflix series is scheduled for release later this year.
