Megyn Kelly celebrated scoring the cover of Variety's Power of Women issue by attending a star-studded luncheon in New York City on Friday.
The photogenic Fox News host joined fellow honorees including Julianne Moore and Lupita Nyong'o on the red carpet before the event, dressing like an Oscar-winner herself in a $2200 Alexander McQueen dress and pair of Miu Miu heels.
She also carried a Nancy Gonzalez that retails for $1550 and covered up in a Milly coat.
The event capped off a week filled with interviews, press, and multiple red carpets for Kelly, who also spoke about the possibility of leaving the network that made her a star while speaking with Variety.
Kelly, who covered Vanity Fair earlier this year, also found time to host her nightly news program, The Kelly File, and even make a trip to Wisconsin for an exclusive interview with Ted Cruz.

Things kicked off on Sunday for Kelly with a highly anticipated interview with Charlie Rose on CBS Sunday Morning.
In that interview, the Vanity Fair cover girl revealed that she was upset when O'Reilly failed to defend her against Trump's attacks when he pulled out of the Iowa debate she moderated in January.
Kelly did however say; 'I think Bill did the best he's capable of doing in those circumstances.'
She also criticized CNN for airing the event Trump was holding for veterans at the same time she was hosting the debate.
'There should have been a moment of solidarity among journalists that night to say, "We will not allow ourselves to be bullied by a presidential front runner, even one as powerful and as ahead in the polls at that point as Trump was,"' said Kelly.
'"This is about journalism and the First Amendment, and we will put the debate moderator out on the stage that we think is appropriate."
'And I think it's a slippery slope when we don't stand shoulder to shoulder in those moments.'

Kelly went on to say that the best way to teach Trump a lesson would be to ban him from appearing on television, which she acknowledges is not possible.
'What he really wants is oxygen, you know, he wants television time,' said Kelly.

'So the only thing that is really meaningful to him, the only consequence that would actually have an effect on him, we cannot enact because it would be insane. You cannot ban the presidential front runner from a channel.'
On Monday it was off to Wisconsin for that Cruz exclusive, where Kelly showed off some impressive footwear for the sit down in a pair of asymmetrical snakeskin sandals from Prada.
Those shoes, which Kelly wore in black and are available at Saks for $1,100, have long been a staple of the Italian design house and a favorite of celebrities including Emily Blunt.
On Tuesday her Variety cover was released, and she got some support from an unlikely source - Hillary Clinton.
During an appearance on The View, Clinton pointed out how Kelly was one of the 'so many women' who has been victimized by Trump and his attacks.
'The way he treated Megyn Kelly, who is a superb journalist. Right?' scoffed Clinton.
'I just don't understand what he thinks is the role of somebody who is running for president,'
On Wednesday Kelly's story in Variety came out, which included the news that she might leave Fox when her contract expires after the election.
When asked if she had decided whether or not to stay at Fox News after the presidential election, Kelly responded 'I haven't'.
The 45-year-old journalist went on to say that she loves her boss, Fox News CEO Roger Ailes, but that her job causes a lot of 'brain damage.'

'Never say never. I don’t know what’s going to happen. I’ve had a great 12 years here, and I really like working for Roger Ailes. I really like my show, and I love my team,' said Kelly.
'But you know, there’s a lot of brain damage that comes from the job. There was probably less brain damage when I worked in the afternoon. I was less well known. I had far less conflict in my life.
'I also have three kids who are soon going to be school from 8am to 3pm I come to work at 3:30. I like to see my children.'
She then added; 'Having said that, my boss has been good about working with me to make me happy - he knows I’m a hard worker. I’ve had few problems here where I couldn’t talk to him and say, “Can we work something out?,” and come away happy.'
Later that night, Kelly spoke about the media's treatment of Trump during an interview with Katie Couric, and suggested that his high poll numbers are the result of the amount of coverage he is given by news programs and journalists.
'Yes, we all have to worry about numbers to some extent. That's the reality of TV news in 2016. But we also have to worry about our souls, and journalism,' Kelly told Couric while being interviewed at the seventh annual Women in the World Summit.
Kelly appeared at that event in a blue peephole dress by Yigal Azrouel that costs $1200 and a pair of Valentino stilettos that retail for $1200 - but are currently sold out.
The night was not over for Kelly at that point either, as she also stopped by The Hollywood Reporter's 2016 35 Most Powerful People in Media party at The Four Seasons.
Kelly was named one of the most powerful people as was her boss, Roger Ailes. Her fellow Fox News host Bill O'Reilly also made the list.
There were no appearances for Kelly on Thursday, but there was the news from Page Six that she was discussing the possibility of leaving Fox News so that she could negotiate a new contract that would put her salary closer to the one that O'Reilly makes - $15million a year.

Enjoying the limelight way too much to be considered a serious journalist. Fox needs to dump her.
