The disapproving tweets started rolling when Kelly wore a top with straps and revealed that she, like many, has skin on her upper body. Commenters quickly grew nasty as they insulted her clothing choice and proved that a mere blouse was enough to distract them from the politics Kelly actually reported on. Kelly has been lauded for [her style choices](http://www.vanityfair.com/style/2016/01/megyn-kelly-style-jessica-diehl) before. But whether positive or [negative](http://motto.time.com/4239610/judging-women-on-their-appearance-juana-summers/), attention to what female anchors or reporters wear is often [based in prejudice ](http://motto.time.com/4396489/gretchen-carlson-fox-harassment/)as it emphasizes what they look like rather than what they say — an aspect to the job that their male counterparts have to deal with far less.
