Ainsley Earhardt’s Fashion Sparks Controversy Amid Engagement to Sean Hannity

Fox News host Ainsley Earhardt, the newly engaged fiancée of Sean Hannity, has unexpectedly found herself at the center of a heated fashion debate. A recent article published by celebrity gossip magazine Nicki Swift criticized Earhardt’s signature style—particularly her fondness for structured blazers—claiming that her outfit choices were aging her and not doing her justice.

The 48-year-old Fox & Friends co-host, who has long been celebrated for her chic and polished on-air wardrobe, was urged to ditch blazers and opt for a more youthful look. The critique quickly ignited backlash, with fans and fashion commentators coming to Earhardt’s defense.

The Controversial Fashion Critique

Nicki Swift’s article first acknowledged Earhardt’s usual flair for tailored dresses and elegant ensembles, stating that she often stuns in outfits that highlight her toned arms and legs. However, the critique turned harsh when it described her as a “big fan of old-fashioned blazers” that supposedly don’t flatter her look.

One particular target of scrutiny was her choice of attire during a 2025 interview with First Lady Melania Trump, where Earhardt donned a baby pink blazer, white pants, and nude pumps. The article claimed that while her outfit was “appropriate,” it aged her slightly. It then compared her unfavorably to Melania Trump, who was praised for looking “gorgeous” in a black skirt suit and matching heels.

Earhardt’s color choices were also put under the microscope, with the article branding some of her on-air wardrobe selections as “tacky” and “not complementary to her skin tone.”

Yet, despite the fashion critique, Earhardt has continued to shine, recently dazzling in a floor-length red gown at President Trump’s 2025 inauguration ball, standing proudly alongside her fiancé Sean Hannity.
