Megyn Kelly has lashed out at Anna Wintour for refusing to put First Lady Melania Trump on the cover of Vogue magazine.
The journalist, 54, criticized Vogue's longtime editor-in-chief, 75, while praising Melania's “elegant” inauguration ensemble.
'Look at Melania Trump. The most elegant, stylish and beautiful First Lady ever,” Megyn wrote in a fawning post on X, formerly Twitter.
'Will Vogue put her on the cover, as did Jill Biden and [Michelle] Obama? Of course not, because Anna Wintour hates the Republicans so much that she can't bear the thought of celebrating this perfect class image.'
In a follow-up post, Megyn called Melania “literally perfect.”
Melania's absence from Vogue magazine has been a sore point since Donald Trump's first presidency in 2016.
First ladies are usually favorites when it comes to women's magazines and the fashion press.
Michelle Obama covered Vogue three times, while Jill Biden covered the magazine twice, before appearing again in a special spread with daughter Naomi.

Kamala Harris has also covered Vogue twice, while Hillary Clinton graced Vogue in 1998 when she was still first lady.
Melania once covered Vogue, but it was 2005, long before her husband would run for president and become one of the most polarizing political figures of all time.
In a 2022 interview with Fox News, Melania called Vogue “biased” for not putting her on the cover.
'They are biased. They have likes and dislikes and it's so obvious and I think the American people and everyone sees it,” she said.
“It was their decision and I have much more important things to do in the White House than be on the cover of Vogue.”
Despite being snubbed by the fashion bible, Melania is often praised for her sense of style.
For Monday's inauguration, she wore a navy blue silk wool coat and skirt by American designer Adam Lippes.
She paired it with a matching hat from American milliner Eric Javits, according to WWD.

“The tradition of the presidential inauguration embodies the beauty of American democracy and today we had the honor of dressing our first lady, Mrs. Melania Trump,” Lippes said in a statement.
'Madam. Trump's outfit was made by some of America's finest artisans and I am very proud to be able to showcase such work to the world.”
Many well-known and established American designers have refused to dress Melania due to her husband's politics.
As a result, she has had to turn to European designers for many of her looks, and her stylist has had to buy clothes from freestanding stores instead of getting outfits from fashion houses.
'I don't really do that, for the good reason that the fashion industry is not that welcoming [of Trump.] That's no secret,” her stylist Herve Pierre told WWD.
'Some are very open-minded and could do something special. But many people don't.'
