Vanna wore the same dress in a season preview clip for the upcoming season of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune.
STEALING THE SHOW
The major support for Vanna comes after Wheel of Fortune star Pat, 76, took a shady jab as his co-star.
During a September 22 episode of the show, a contestant named Beryl missed out on winning $100,000 but got a sweet consolation prize from Vanna.
Pat bantered with Beryl during the episode's interview segment.
He revealed to the audience that Beryl met Vanna prior to his appearance on the show.
Beryl confirmed that she met Vanna at the "Myrtle Beach Airport" in South Carolina back in 2015.
"[When I met her] she was so kind [and] she let me take a picture with her," Beryl admitted.
She reiterated that while Vanna was "really nice," she refused to share a pound cake that she was carrying.
After reflecting on the interaction, Beryl lost out on the grand prize.
Pat quipped in response: "Well, you didn't get the $100,000, but instead, you're replacing Vanna."
He then playfully insisted that Vanna needed to "make it up" to Beryl for not sharing her pound cake at the airport.
Vanna then walked on stage and presented Beryl with a slice of pound cake.
NOT LEAVING
The Wheel of Fortune star recently celebrated a major win: she finally got execs to extend her contract on September 20 after months of battling back and forth about salaries.
Vanna's contract will run through the 2026 season and will see her continue on the show for at least two years with Pat's successor Ryan Seacrest.
According to TMZ, she got a "substantial pay increase" with the deal, though full details have not been disclosed.
Vanna, who makes $3million per season, had reportedly been seeking a raise from producers, claiming she only received bonuses for the last 18 years.
