On Monday morning, we were the first to point out Barbara Walters' political and style taboos by wearing the same outfit -- a quaint black dress with garish embellishments -- at two high-profile events in a week. And both in the presence of the First Lady Michelle Obama.
Well, things always come in threes and when Barbara Walters hit the red-carpet Monday night for an event at Lincoln Center, take a guess what she wore?
Barbara took to her platform The View this morning to confront the media frenzy surrounding her sartorial selection.
"So beit" Walters said, "the cha-cha in me, I wore the same dress again last night!"
"We've got a bad economy. What, I'm going to buy a new dress for every occasion?"
Check out the clip above.
Co-host Sherri Shepherd even chimed, saying "we are in a reccession, you are doing your part."
No word, though, on whether or not the dress was washed!
