During Milan Fashion Week, Sanchez stepped out in a see-through Dolce & Gabbana lace dress that exposed part of her backside.
She paired the revealing outfit with a breast-lifting corset and a jacket draped over her shoulders.
After seeing photos of Sanchez's ensemble, Kelly unleashed a torrent of criticism on her podcast. "I'm sorry, she looks like a hooker. You look like a hooker!" Kelly fumed.
"And you're dating [one of] the richest men in the world. Try to be a little classy. Must everything be an expose of your obviously over enhanced assets?"
The former news anchor went on to say she and her family looked at the photos in disgust, bemoaning the loss of classiness in society today.
In the same podcast segment, Kelly also took aim at Moriarty over apparent plastic surgery procedures.
Noting Moriarty's "Kim Kardashian lips" and "cheek implants," Kelly slammed the actress' "fake version" of herself.
"It's extremely upsetting. It's just a massive turnoff to me," said Kelly.
"I really want to get in the heads of these young girls and say, 'Please don't do this.'"
The podcaster ascribed Moriarty and Sanchez's looks to "mental illness" and a dangerous cultural obsession with artificial beauty standards.
