Megyn Kelly's debut outfit on the Today Show could be a subtle dig at the president

The Trump-blouse connection started just two days after the audio leaked in October, when Melania Trump wore a Gucci pussy-bow blouse to the second presidential debate. The internet exploded with theories that the shirt was Melania Trump's subtle way of alluding to the incident.

A campaign representative at the time said the wardrobe choice was not an intentional reference. The fashion choice, however, had already become irrevocably connected to Trump and the "Access Hollywood" audio in the minds of many.

Following Melania Trump's decision to don a pussy-bow blouse to the debate, numerous publications mentioned the shirt's "feminist history." In the '70s and '80s, "the pussy bow was a signifier for a particular type of professional woman," Mic reported.

Trump has been vocally critical of Kelly, calling her "highly overrated," along with other derogatory comments. And, it's unlikely that Kelly missed the speculation surrounding Melania Trump's pussy-bow blouse in October.

Kelly said on "Megyn Kelly Today" on Monday that she was "kind of done with politics." Most of her time at Fox News was defined by political events.

Yet it seems she may have been unable to refrain from a sly, anti-Trump reference in the form of the pussy bow.
