Sarah Abo suffered a fashion faux pas on Thursday morning during her work trip to France to cover the 2024 Paris Olympics.
The Today co-anchor, 38, was filming a segment for her Channel Nine breakfast show in the French capital when a guest revealed she had broken a huge rule.
Wearing in a simple white T-shirt and black jeans, the presenter draped a grey scarf over her shoulders and covered her dark locks with a cream beret.
But when she met up with Australian expat and podcaster Oliver Gee, he was quick to point out ‘only tourists and old men in the countryside’ wear berets in France.
‘I’ve got my beret on, my baguettes, and I’m about to find out if I can really pull off this whole Parisian thing,’ Sarah told viewers at the beginning of the segment.
But Oliver told her: ‘Love the baguettes, love the bonjour, not so sure about the beret.’
‘What do you mean? Don’t all French people wear berets?’ Sarah said.
‘Just the tourists and the old men in the countryside. It’s not right. I think we need to lose it before we begin,’ Oliver explained.

The journalist appeared disappointed as she pulled off the hat, saying that she ‘was really digging’ the look of it.
Sarah flew to France for the Paris Olympics in style last Friday.
She was spotted checking into her first class flight at Sydney Airport.
The international multi-sport event will run from 26 July to 11 August.
Sarah looked thrilled as she made her way through the airport, with A Current Affair host Allison Langdon also spotted checking in for the same flight.
