Kelly Ripa snuck in a bombshell photo to her Instagram before the weekend, wowing her 3 million+ fans and even impressing 22-year-old daughter Lola Consuelos. The talk show queen, 52, threw it back to a 2004 shoot as she looked near-unrecognizable, posing in a slinky minidress and high heels while rocking massive bouffant hair. Jokingly referencing her “big hair” and “tiny dress” in her caption, Kelly delighted fans with her sense of humor, also gaining the approval of close friend and reality star Lisa Rinna.

Going larger than life with blow-dried, ’70s-style hair, Kelly nearly had her face dwarfed by her massive hairdo, but she still managed to deliver a sassy, mean gaze as she rocked eyeliner and a nude lip. The glam shot came from a 2004 shoot with Allure, something Kelly mentioned in her caption. “#fbf 2004 BIG HAIR TINY DRESS edition. Allure magazine cover shoot,” she wrote.
“Wow” came in from daughter Lola. The “Divine Timing” singer even returned for a second comment as she told her mom: “You. Are. Everything.” Meanwhile, former Bravo star Lisa left Kelly a fire emoji.
