Broadcast correspondent and show host Megyn Kelly went from journalist to news subject in 2015 when she found herself in a media feud with then-presidential candidate Donald Trump. She made headlines again at the end of 2016 when she announced she was considering leaving the Fox network — where she established her national career. By the first week of 2017, her departure from Fox for the NBC network was announced.

Here’s a look back at some of Kelly’s moments in the spotlight: some glamorous, some serious, some just plain fun.
