When will the wardrobe departments at the TV networks learn?
Last Friday, Seven’s Sunrise sailed perilously close to yet another “Jacketgate” debacle after three of four of its reporters appeared on screen at the same time wearing the very same bright pink colour.
The reporters – Natalie Barr, Bianca Stone, Samantha Brett and Amanda Bachmann – were discussing Friday’s extreme weather when it quickly became apparent no one had got the dress code memo. Thankfully, Brett managed to save the day when she opted for a white number.

Barr followed up with the tweet: “I told you TWO HOURS AGO that it was Pink Friday.”
