Megyn Kelly has taken issue with Sydney Sweeney’s daring fashion choice, which the actress showcased at a recent event celebrating the ‘Power of Women.’ The outspoken commentator didn’t hold back her criticism of Sweeney’s shimmering silver dress, which she felt left too little to the imagination.
Kelly expressed her disapproval, arguing that the attire was excessively revealing. “I object to this. I disapprove of the dress she wore because it’s completely see-through. You can see her entire nipples,” she remarked, clearly unimpressed by the bold style choice.
Despite acknowledging that the Euphoria star looked “spectacular,” Kelly couldn’t help but draw a comparison to another celebrity known for her provocative fashion sense. “She reminded me of Kim Kardashian, who overshares and then takes away the element of mystery,” Kelly said, emphasizing the importance of leaving something to the imagination.
As a self-proclaimed fan of Sydney Sweeney, Kelly expressed concern not just for the actress, but for other Hollywood figures as well. She worried that stars like Sweeney might be persuaded into choosing outfits that reveal more than intended, potentially leading them into fashion missteps.
‘She reminded me of Kim Kardashian who overshares and then takes away the thing that is the sexiest, which is every guy’s hoping to be the one who actually sees them for real, and leaving a little to the imagination,’ Kelly said.
Kelly, who said she’s ‘a Sydney Sweeney fan,’ worries that the 28-year-old and other Hollywood stars and socialites may be duped into wearing revealing outfits.
‘I think she might have been misled into it. That’s my bet, because, like when I did a saucy photo shoot one time for GQ, what I wore was appropriate. It was just a slip dress. That’s all it was. I did not show anything close to areola then, I never would.’
‘But I think probably she’s very young… and I guarantee you, somebody brought the dress to her and was like, “Now we’ll take it next level.” And she trusted the wrong person, and before you knew it, we had all seen it,’ Kelly added.

The blonde bombshell exuded confidence in the daring look in front of photographers.
She was seen rocking her new bleach blonde bob, which was styled to perfectly frame her heart-shaped face.
Sweeney, who went viral for chowing down on a hotdog at the World Series, let her natural beauty shine by opting for a soft glam makeup look.
She wore a bight pink cheek, a nude lip and she coated her lashes in black mascara for added drama.
As for accessories, the starlet opted for dangly silver earrings and matching rings to further glam up the look for the special evening.
Sweeney flaunted the daring look on the red carpet as she arrived to the star-studded festivities.
The blonde bombshell was also seen crossing paths with Jamie Lee Curtis and Sharon Stone – and the stars paused for memorable snaps together.
While noting that the star’s breasts are ‘enormous’ and ‘spectacular,’ Kelly compared Sweeney unfavorably to the style of Kim Kardashian

She was later spotted flashing a big smile as she mingled with other guests while standing next to a circular table.
The actress was one of the honorees during the event – which was announced last month in September by Variety.
Other celebrities that were recognized during the big night included Jamie Lee Curtis, Nicole Scherzinger, Wanda Sykes and Kate Hudson.
Before the main ceremony kicked off, Sweeney had a conversation with Variety and opened up about wrapping season three of the HBO Max series Euphoria.
The star is set to film her final scenes later this week and expressed, ‘It’s gonna be a really bittersweet moment.’
‘I’m kind of terrified for how emotional it’s gonna be. It’s been such a journey. It’s been my entire twenties,’ Sweeney told the outlet.
‘They’ve been my family and friends for so long. I’ve been forever grateful for all of them.’
Her appearance at the Variety event comes just one day after the actress attended the 2025 World Series on Tuesday – and shared special moments from the outing to her Instagram page.

Sweeney supported the L.A. Dodgers by wearing the team’s jersey as they took part in a match against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Also on Tuesday, she sent social media users into a frenzy when she voiced the Game 4 intro only minutes before the game began.
Sweeney was also honored with the Spotlight Award at her Christy screening on Monday.
While recently speaking with Variety, the beauty revealed that she has no intentions to undergo plastic surgery or cosmetic procedures.
‘I’ve never gotten anything done. I’m absolutely terrified of needles. No tattoos. Nothing. I’m going to age gracefully.’
She added, ‘It’s really funny. I’ll see things online like “comparison pictures.” I’m like, “I’m 12 in that photo. Of course I’m going to look different. I have makeup on now and I’m 15 years older.”‘
The star also shared, ‘I play a lot of very divisive characters, and I think that a lot of people think they know me, but they don’t.
‘So when people think, “Ah, she’s a sex symbol,” or “She’s leaning into that,” I’m like, “No, I just feel good and I’m doing it for myself and I feel strong.”‘
The actress continued, ‘I hope that I can inspire other women to be confident and just flaunt what they got and feel good because you shouldn’t have to apologize or hide or cover up in any room.’
