"Seated in the hair and makeup chair, the TODAY meteorologist lifts her phone so her three sons, Calvin, 8, Oliver, 5, and Rusty, 4, can get a good look. Instead of her usual bouncy blowout, Dylan's hair is slicked back in the singer's signature style, neat and high-shine. She's dressed in a narrow tie, crisp button-up shirt and tailored slacks, the kind of look that defined early-1960s pop stardom."
""What do you think?" Dylan asks her boys. Silence. "You don't like it?" Whatever comes through on the other end isn't exactly delight. "It's a wig, buddy," she explains. "You don't look like yourself," Calvin says. "That's the point!," Dylan replies, with a laugh. Meanwhile, Oliver looks stricken, his face crumpling in confusion and fear: Who is this man on the screen, and where is his mother?"
"Dylan grew up listening to music from the '50s and '60 with her parents. "My dad was a mechanic, and he would record the oldies station for me on cassette tapes and bring them home," Dylan told TODAY.com. "I know every lyric to every song from that era." Ahead of TODAY's Halloween Extravaganza, Dylan's mom, Linda, gave her a program and a ticket stub from a Four Seasons concert show she attended in 1968, mementos Dylan said she brought with her to the set."
Dylan Dreyer, a TODAY meteorologist, FaceTimed her three sons from the hair-and-makeup chair while in a Frankie Valli Halloween costume. Her hair was slicked back, and she wore a narrow tie, crisp button-up shirt and tailored slacks that evoked early-1960s pop stardom. Her sons—Calvin, eight; Oliver, five; and Rusty, four—reacted with silence, confusion and fear, failing to recognize her. Dreyer explained the look was a wig and laughed as one son said she did not look like herself. Dreyer grew up listening to 1950s and 1960s music and brought a Four Seasons program and a 1968 ticket stub to set.
