Early in her TV career, Kelly played it safe with her wardrobe, sticking with neutral shades.
As she told theLos Angeles Timesin 2012, her mantra was “tailored, classic and never frilly.”
Over the years, Kelly branched out and began experimenting with her look.
Regardless, Kelly staunchly owns her choices.
Let’s take a look.
OnX (formerly Twitter), one poster captioned the photos with “criticizes Trump for objectifying women.
Poses like this in GQ magazine.”
Trump ended up reposting the pic.
Undaunted, Kelly stood by her photos.
Even so, she’s expressed her appreciation for supportive undergarments.
The GQ pics came back again in 2025 after Kelly disparagedLauren Sanchez’s presidential inauguration attire.
“‘Who looks like a hooker?'”
queried oneX user, dredging up Kelly’s old photos.
Designed by Ralph Lauren, the revealing black gown featured a low neckline and slender straps.
The TV host later explained the rationale behind her choice.
“I can be smart and challenging while I wear spaghetti straps.”
Four years earlier, she’d already experimented in this direction while covering a primary election.
Kelly further explained that beyond pushing fashion boundaries, she picked the RNC outfit intending to send a message.
The jewel-toned velvet gown featured a daring neckline and shoulder-baring sleeves.
“It’s feminine yet chic and elegant,” Yigal Azrouel, the dress’s designer, informedPeople.
“My tip for women is not to be afraid of showing a little bit of skin.
Femininity exudes confidence.”
“Could you have dressed any trashier or unprofessional?”
However, things got more nuanced when others came to Kelly’s aid.
Let that stand [on its] own, regardless of whether shoulders are showing or not."
For their meeting, Kelly donned a black top with sheer sleeves and a pleated leather skirt.
While some fans praised her content, they also took issue with her attire.
“It’s not professional.
“Who decided to pick the skirt from the movie clueless?
I think you’ve aged out of that a little,“admonishedanother.
Interestingly, in this case, fans were largely praising that particular look.
However, not all of Kelly’s leather choices have been completely successful even for her.
“Why do you dress for a podcast like you’re going to a cocktail party?”
“Your onlyFans attire??”
commented anInstagramposter, harkening back to the earlier incensed viewers who thought the 2016 dress was escort attire.
However, Kelly remains steadfast, wearing what she wants, and refrains from engaging with critical remarks.
She reserved extra mockery for the clothespins used as a quick fix to tailor his jacket.
“His little pretend fireman role coupled with his ‘is my waist looking skinny enough?’
vanity is too much,” Kelly denounced onher website.
