Ginger Zee admits she rents her GMA designer wardrobe as show ‘doesn’t provide clothes’ and reveals her favorite stores

GOOD Morning America star Ginger Zee has let the cat out of the bag about how

GOOD Morning America star Ginger Zee has let the cat out of the bag about how she's able to dress so stylishly on the morning show.

In a new video that she shared on TikTok, Ginger explained that ABC didn't provide the wardrobe that she wears on GMA.

The 42-year-old was in her GMA dressing room, sorting through clothes she was planning to wear for Tuesday's episode.

Ginger was dressed casually in her jeans and sweatshirt, looking through different outfit choices.

She explained in the clip where she got her fashionable attire, revealing that it wasn't courtesy of the show.

"We [the hosts] are responsible for buying [our own clothes], I rent almost everything," Ginger disclosed.

"Although, I got a whole kind of treasure trove of the last 12 [to] 15 years of clothes," she added as she pulled out a multi-color striped dress to sport.

Ginger is known to stun on the morning show in a sassy ensemble.

Despite the shade she sometimes gets for her looks from fans, she continues to wear whatever she sees fit.

Last month Ginger delivered a savage response to a man who approached her on Twitter to critique her daily outfits.

GMA viewer named Rick addressed Ginger with criticism aimed at the way she dresses.

He wrote: "@Ginger_Zee ginger, I watch good morning America in part for the weather, not for your latest fashion and not for you showing your thighs through slits in your dresses. Is there any reason why you don't stick to the weather?"

Ginger was having none of that, as she responded to the tweet with her own side of the story.

She wrote: "Oh Rick — my dress is professional and appropriate and no matter what I wear I always stick to the weather… and then I talk fashion… and sustainability… and exercise … we are all complex human beings. Hope you have a great day!"

It appeared Rick had nothing else to say after that.

There were no further replies from Rick or Ginger in the same Twitter thread.

Ginger is no stranger to trolls coming for her looks, her clothing, or even her makeup.

But she always has a pointed response in the end that defuses the situation or educates the person being rude.

Meanwhile, Ginger highlighted positive and negative comments from fans and trolls on Instagram to showcase the interactions she's had on Twitter.

Ginger took to Instagram with an important post she needed to share with her fans.

Instead of a selfie or family photo, she shared some examples of tweets she had received.

One was from a positive interaction from a fan.

They wrote: "@Ginger_Zee looking fabulous @ABCWorldNews can you share any makeup secrets?"

The meteorologist replied: "Ha! I've had the same makeup on since 5 am…but I touched it up a little and give allt he credit to my photographer Tom Manning's lighting - expert!"

The other tweet was a not-so-positive interaction during which someone critiqued Ginger's look.

They asked: "Who's doing #GingerZee's makeup and why are they putting brown blush/bronzer on her lower cheek all the way down to her jawline??"

Ginger had a pleasant response to the question: "Oh…it's me updating my makeup from this morning…sorry you didn't like my artistry but I'm much better at science than makeup, thank you!"

Ginger captioned her post: "This is for anyone who needs to hear it — everyone has an opinion, these two came in within minutes of eachother…"

She continued: "I’ll watch back to be sure there is no validity to the negative one, but in general I hope this helps you all see you can't take any one comment too personally as it varies widely depending on the person. And that's ok! I love hearing from you all."
