Megyn Kelly drew significant attention for her appearance at Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s hearing regarding his nomination for Secretary of Health and Human Services. Viewers were left questioning why a political commentator like Kelly was present, particularly as many were noticing her striking change. Social media users had a lot to say about her hair, with one user remarking sarcastically on X (formerly Twitter) that her extensions were hardly flattering as they sat behind RFK Jr.
While her hair extensions were criticized, her choice of a conservative black long-sleeved turtleneck was noted as a contrast to her typically bold wardrobe. Yet, her unkempt extensions still drew attention. Critics on social media expressed mixed feelings, with one stating that her distracting appearance overshadowed her professional contributions. Just a week prior, Kelly had flaunted her exaggerated locks at a Trump rally.
Kelly’s participation at the RFK Jr. hearing puzzled many, leading to speculation on social media regarding her motivations. Some users suggested she was seeking the spotlight, while others even hinted at a potential romantic connection with RFK Jr., despite his wife being present at the event.

Megyn Kelly wasn’t the sole celebrity present at the hearing; Cheryl Hines also attended to support her husband, RFK Jr. Despite previous rumors about their marriage, Hines appeared cheerful during the hearing, particularly while listening to Elizabeth Warren’s questions. Kelly was noted to have shared a light-hearted moment as she laughed during Bernie Sanders’ address to RFK Jr.
In the lead-up to the hearing, Kelly shared her reasons for attending, expressing her intent to observe the treatment RFK Jr. would receive during the proceedings. She referred to a close connection for having interviewed him in-depth on her show several months back. Kelly previously showcased her support for RFK Jr. amid family controversies, standing by him against criticism from his sister regarding his views on COVID-19.
