A news anchor has shared the hilarious feedback she received from her parents after debuting a high-fashion look on air.

Faith Woodard, an evening news anchor for THV11 in Little Rock, Arkansaswore a sleek black bodysuit and red high-waisted pants with an elegant black poncho over the top while she was on air last week.

While many viewers loved her eye-catching outfit, the media professional said her parents were not as supportive of her bold look, declaring that it seemed cartoon than couture.

Woodard shared their feedback in a Facebook post along with a snap of the chic ensemble.

‘I thought I had on a very cute outfit yesterday. I got sooooo many good compliments,’ the anchor began the post.

‘I get on the phone with my parents and my dad says “I see you had on your Batman outfit today,”‘ she wrote in the post.

In response, her mom chimed in with, ‘No that’s Darth Vader.’

‘They absolutely cooked me with the jokes,’ Woodard laughed, assuring fans she enjoyed the gentle teasing.

The anchor added that ‘no one is a harsher critic than family.’

Fans loved the playful exchange, sharing their own experiences in the comments section of the post.

‘Family humor is the best. This is why we have tough skin in the real world. Your family gonna let you know,’ said one user.

‘If your parents don’t cook you when you think you’re fly… are they really your parents?!’ said another. ‘I know they couldn’t wait for you to get off air.’

Another viewer added: ‘Parents are very honest to their babies, when others are not.’

According to childhood development experts, playful teasing is harmful in most circumstances as it has the potential to impact children’s self-confidence.

But psychiatrist Gabriel Kaplan and professor of communication studies Carol Bishop Mills told Reader’s Digest there are some areas that you shouldn’t tease children about.

He listed sports, academics, being shy, weight, fashion choices, physical traits and material objects as topics never to mock kids over.

Dr Kaplan explained that when children are made fun of by their parents by particularly sensitive topics, it makes them feel attacked or insulted.

‘Parents have to remember that teasing always has to have an element of humor — if it’s not funny, it’s not a tease,’ Dr Mills added.

Dr Kaplan urged parents to remember that while it can feel like kids are the extension then, it’s important to remember that they’re their own people.
