What To Know
- Megyn Kelly harshly criticized Shailene Woodley’s Emmy Awards outfit on her SiriusXM show.
- Kelly commented that Woodley’s cleavage was an unsuccessful attempt to distract.
- The former Fox News anchor has faced criticism for her own outfit choices in the past.
Former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly turned into a fashion critic on the latest episode of her SiriusXM show as she took several shots at Shailene Woodley‘s Emmy Awards outfit.
Woodley, who won her first Emmy for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series for her role in Hulu’s Paradise, drew headlines for her red carpet look, which included a sleeveless blue top with a deep neckline and sparkly gold pants.
“The top looks slightly like a wrestling singlet,” Kelly said on the recent episode of The Megyn Kelly Show, per The Daily Beast. “It’s extremely low-cut, and it almost doesn’t look intentional. It almost looks like she got attacked with some scissors or something. I’m not sure, but it’s very, very low-cut.”
The political commentator went on to say that the issue with the outfit was Woodley’s breasts. “I think there’s an attempt to distract us with the cleavage, but I’m just going to say only the Halle Berrys of the world can really do that… a few others, Zendaya” Kelly said. “But unless you’ve got, like, an absolutely stunning rack, it’s probably not a great idea to show that much of the boobs. Like, that much of the girls.”
Kelly clarified that she’s “fine with a little” cleavage, adding, “I’ve shown a little in pictures, but, like, a little goes a long way, I’d say.”
The former NBC host has herself faced criticism for her outfit choices. Back in 2016, she was slammed for wearing a strappy dress at the Republican National Convention, with some viewers calling it “inappropriate” and others comparing her to an “escort.”

But that didn’t stop Kelly from continuing her attack on Woodley as she moved on to the pants, calling them “ugly” and saying they looked like “a tan burlap sack.”
Kelly tried to soften the blow by saying the blame doesn’t fall on the Big Little Lies star. “I’m sorry. I like you, Shailene,” she said. “It’s a thumbs down. I blame your stylist, not you.”
