Megyn Kelly shocks fans by publicly denouncing Sydney Sweeney’s daring silver see-through dress, declaring “I object” on air.NN
Megyn Kelly ripped apart Sydney Sweeney’s showstopping silver corset dress after the sheer style went viral.
“I object to this,” the conservative commentator, 54, told viewers on her talk show Thursday. “I disapprove of the dress because it’s completely see-through.”
Kelly pointed out that she can “see [Sweeney’s] entire” chest in the Christian Cowan gown, which the actress wore to Variety’s Power of Women event on Wednesday.
After praising the 28-year-old’s ‘ “No. 1 assets” as “enormous” and “spectacular,” Kelly compared Sweeney to Kim Kardashian.
“She … overshares and then takes away the thing that is the sexiest, which is every guy’s hope to be the one who actually sees them for real, and leaving a little to the imagination,” the journalist explained.
Kelly clarified, however, that she is “a Sydney Sweeney fan.”

The “Megyn Kelly Show” host speculated that perhaps the “very young” Emmy nominee was “misled” into wearing the headline-making design.
“I guarantee you, somebody brought the dress to her and was like, ‘Now we’ll take it next level,’” Kelly theorized. “And she trusted the wrong person, and before you knew it, we had all seen it.”
She referred to the gown as a “rare misstep,” noting that she recently backed Sweeney when the “White Lotus” alum caused controversy with her American Eagle “Great Jeans” ad.
Kelly quipped that she “draw[s] the line at areola.”
Sweeney’s rep did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
Some social media users have eviscerated Sweeney’s look, which she wore while delivering a speech about being “underestimated.”
One netizen claimed the dress didn’t “empower but overpower,” while another added, “She’s … wearing a dress that puts her body on display more than her message.”
Meanwhile, many Sweeney fans have defended the “Handmaid’s Tale” alum’s latest look.
While Sweeney has not spoken out against the backlash, the “Anyone But You” star did post a series of Instagram snaps in the dress on Thursday, from red carpet photos to mirror selfies.
“the power of women,” the “Euphoria” star captioned the upload.
Katy Perry, AJ McLean and Jessie James Decker all gushed over her dress in the comments, while followers dubbed it “absolutely beautiful,” “stunning” and “gorgeous.”
