Megyn Reacts to Nicole Kidman Trying to Look Like a Teenager in "ICK" Vogue Australia Photoshoot
Nicole Kidman's Vogue Australia photographs appear on screen, credited to photographer Lachlan Bailey. Megyn Kelly's objection is to the styling: she argues that the shoot presents the actress as a teenager rather than embracing her age.
"It's inappropriate, and it gives viewers the ick factor," Kelly says in the excerpt from The Megyn Kelly Show. She also asserts that the photographs have been extensively retouched. That is Kelly's assessment of the images, not a production detail established in the clip.
The Short reached about 215,000 views in ten hours, already well beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for this format. Its comments were more than ten times as numerous as a typical first day's, with discussion centering on age expectations in fashion and whether magazine photographs look heavily edited.
The subject follows Kelly's earlier critique of Jennifer Lawrence's appearance in The Cut. This time, her argument is specifically about the youthful styling chosen for a fashion shoot, rather than Kidman's acting work.
