Megyn Kelly Praises Sydney Sweeney’s Natural Beauty While Slamming Kardashian Aesthetic

Megyn Kelly has doubled her praise for Sweeney’s natural beauty with a dig toward the exaggerated beauty typical of the Kardashian-Jenner empire. Perhaps one awkward compliment for Sweeney came from Kelly, a conservative commentator, who lauded the Euphoria star as the epitome of untouched beauty, calling her her “opposite of a Kardashian” for being naturally beautiful, not beauty modified through plastic surgery.

The difference Sweeney poses from those fame seekers and celebrities who chose to undergo plastic transformations is that Kelly singled out Lauren Sanchez, accusing her of “kept standing and posing so she could be seen and admired.” Despite describing Sweeney as “petite” and having “bosoms” (and she laughed at herself, seemingly amused by the description), she was adamant that everything about the actress just looked real: unlike those “big lips that would scare the hell out of you if you were sitting at the dinner table with them.”

Such statements made a lot of people stir, agreeing to fillers and filters going way too far in Hollywood. “She’s a natural beauty,” one user said. “It’s refreshing and what I think of as a model or actress. It’s supposed to be rare.” Another said, “Anything opposite of Kardashian is a win.” To which another responded, “Yeah, most of them Hollywood elites gross me the F out!”

Because Sweeney was referred to as the “classic American beauty,” Kelly was turned around and showered with praise herself by some users. “Megyn Kelly you are the quintessential gorgeous woman-do you realize how beautiful you are?” said one adoring commenter. Praise for Kelly’s looks began to pour out from the crowd; one excited user wanted to know something very specific about her: “I would love to know Meg’s skin care routine and upkeep. She has flawless skin and zero wrinkles.”

The conversation took a fun turn when some-one claiming to have worked with Sweeney imparted some insider info: “Syd, and I’ve worked with her in auditions, had to wrap her chest tight to pull off playing younger. It’s all natural!” Suddenly more admiration was poured on the actress for her unwavering commitment to looking natural in an industry synonymous to plastic surgery.

Questions related to Aesthetic values did not contain all of the comments, as some began exploring the social implications of her image: Louise for one said, “Sydney Sweeney’s quintessentially All American girl next door good looks are everything the far leftoids stand against.” Regardless of its validity, it is evident that Kelly’s terrorist-interview segment tapped into a growing fatigue with very transformations—and thirst for authenticity.

While the conversation began with Sweeney, it actually became an open referendum on beauty standards. “All those women with huge lips look like ducks to me,” one person said bluntly. “So disgustingly ugly and totally unattractive and unnatural!” Other commenters gladly praised Sweeney for being “normal cute” WASP, unlike those distorted, reality TV-promoted proportions.

Even if there’s a claim to be made that Kelly’s views would cause division, after all, not everyone agrees natural beauty is the best end to strive for. The argument has indeed awakened something very deep inside many. The untainted appeal of Sweeney is a real breath of fresh air in a world ruled by Beyoncé-BBLs and Insta-faces. One way or the other, Kelly’s assertion has brought to light one inescapable truth: hunger out there for an entirely different kind of beauty icon.

The conversation proves that while styles come and go, timeless appeal is about someone who appears as if they have never been through any sort of plastic surgeon or FaceApp filter. In the industry of today, that is, indeed, a very revolutionary gesture.
