Katie Couric pulled out all the stops for her stepdaughter, Allie Molner‘s wedding on Saturday.
The 69-year-old looked worlds away from her day job and swapped her stylish suits for a sensational sparkling black dress to witness Allie, 28, tie the knot to Dylan Orenstein at the Waldorf Astoria New York.
Katie shared a stunning photo of her stepmother-of-the-bride look on her Instagram Stories on Monday, revealing she had chosen a Naeem Khan dress for the special occasion.
The journalist looked beautiful in her sleeveless, floor-length dress, which featured large, white floral details along the waist.
“Thank you @naeemkhannyc for my beautiful dress!” she captioned the post, alongside a white heart emoji.
Katie and her husband, John Molner, also shared a joint Instagram post that featured highlights from the wedding day and showed off Allie’s exquisite strapless gown.
“Oh happy day! Congrats to @alliemolner and @dylanorenstein17 on their wedding day. May 9, 2026. We love you (photos at the @waldorfnyc wedding and reception at @thepoolnyc,” the caption read.

And so that’s gonna be really fun and exciting for both of us, for both John and me, and Allie’s mom and her brother, Henry, who’s officiating, and Dylan, her fiancé, and all their friends.”

She said: “I’m just grateful and grateful that everyone is doing well and feeling well and has found fulfillment and purpose.”

Katie met John through mutual friends in 2012. The two fell madly in love and got engaged the following year, and tied the knot in a sweet backyard ceremony in 2014.

She also revealed on The Kelly Clarkson Show that the two are a case of opposites attract. Katie explained: “I met an incredible person, and I could not be happier. He’s so great, and he puts up with me. I’m a total mess and he’s super neat, and he calls me tornado.”
