Andy Cohen acknowledged the memes poking fun at his wardrobe at Jingle Ball and has a sense of humor about it. Posting on Instagram Story, Cohen, 55, shared a fan's edited photo of him next to 'NSync with the caption, "I deserve this. LOL!"
Cohen was seen at the Z100 Jingle Ball on Friday, December 8th, at Madison Square Garden in New York City. He chose a laid-back style, wearing a green-and-orange checkered shirt, half-tucked into black jeans, and white sneakers. However, his outfit received criticism on social media for being too casual for the red carpet.
"If you think we're f—king, you must be Andy Cohen rocking those concords at jingle ball," one user tweeted via X (Twitter), while another user commented that he "can't dress."
Some users compared Cohen's outfit to something that 'NSync would have worn in their heyday. The group disbanded in 2004 and included members Justin Timberlake, Lance Bass, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick, and JC Chasez.

"Back in the day, denim on denim was all the rage, don't judge me," Fatone, 46, confessed to We in January 2019 about his boy band fashion trends, reminiscing about his beloved vest from 1999. "That was a good look. It was when I had my red hair and I was really into Superman. Sleeveless vests were the thing!"
Cohen has never confirmed whether or not he intentionally emulated ‘NSync's style, but he is recognized for his well-tailored suits while on the set of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen or filming a Bravo reunion special. His work on Bravo has given him a newfound appreciation for fashion, observing the lengths that celebrities go to in order to look their best.
"In the early days of Orange County, the fashion choices were simply awful," Cohen quipped to Vanity Fair in January 2022, referring to the Real Housewives franchise. "If you look at the first few years of reunions, Orange County, Atlanta, and New York, they were basically wearing — I don’t even think what they would wear to a cocktail party. I think it was more what they might wear to a PTA meeting."

He added, "I believe people have enjoyed seeing their current fashion choices. The intention was always to inspire, and that's exactly what they do. For the Housewives, preparing for a reunion is like choosing a prom dress."
During BravoCon last month, Cohen hosted the first-ever "The Bravos" awards ceremony, featuring the prestigious Dorit Kemsley Award for Chicest Bravolebrity. Kemsley, 47, graciously presented the award to Chanel Ayan of The Real Housewives of Dubai.
