Megyn Kelly scored the cover of Vanity Fair this past January and now seems to have her sights set on Vogue.

The Fox News host arrived in Wisconsin Monday where she sat down for an exclusive talk with Republican hopeful Ted Cruz, talking about everything from recent rumors suggesting he had multiple mistresses in the past to his opponent Donald Trump during a Town Hall interview set to air Monday night.

For the occasion, Kelly picked a simple black, short-sleeved dress and some very impressive 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.

Kelly, 45, has always said she likes to keep her style simple, with the former lawyer telling the Los Angeles Times in a 2012 profile piece; 'Before I got into TV, I wasn't fashionable at all. 

'I was more about getting into my legal clothes — navy, brown or black suits; that was it. Though I did make the executive decision to not wear sneakers with those suits while on my way to and from work. I didn't think about it that much. I was overworked and overwhelmed.'

She also said in that interview that she was not a fan of 'hot pinks' or 'bright reds,' adding; 'I like black, white and navy. I think navy looks good with blond hair and dark blue eyes.'

It was her shoes however that she said were the most important in that interview, noting that even though they are not visible on camera from behind her desk they make all the difference.

The writer of that piece noted heels from Giuseppe Zanotti, YSL, Jimmy Choo and Alexandre Birman on Kelly's shoe rack at work, and said the host wore Gucci T-strap sandals for their interview.

In that interview, Kelly also said; 'If you're wearing a pair of shoes that's a little flashy, then it's important not to be flashy up top and vice versa.'

Four years later she appears to still be following the same rule. 

Kelly previously commented on how her footwear was heavily monitored back when she was a lawyer, telling GQ in 2010;  'There definitely was a different feeling when I was practicing law. I remember when I was trying this one case in Iowa, I had sling-back shoes, which are not that risqué, okay.'

She added; 'It was just a little sling-back shoe, and the head counsel for the co-defendant in the case complained to my boss that I was going to alienate the Iowa female jurors. 

'That kind of attitude still existed when I practiced law. I have yet to see that in television, though. There's no objection to sling-back shoes.'
