Her Hamptons outing comes a day after she was spotted posing for selfies in the snow alongside her Fox News friend Janice Dean.
Kelly and Dean had their own pre-birthday celebration at the Antonucci restaurant in New York where they spent more than two hours during lunch on Thursday.

The pair eventually came outside to take a selfie as the snow came down.
Dean later shared on of their photos on Instagram with the caption: '#girlfriends #birthday #snow.'
As they were leaving they both shouted 'I love you' to one another.
Kelly, who turns 48 on Sunday, then got into the same chauffeur-driven car that she arrived in.

The weather conditions for their lunch date were appropriate. Earlier this year sources close to Charlize Theron said she would portray her as an 'ice queen' in the upcoming movie about the Roger Ailes scandal at Fox News.
Kelly's eponymous hour show was abruptly cancelled on October 26 after she questioned why blackface was controversial as a Halloween costume.
NBC is trying to figure out what kind of severance to offer the host who had a combined $69million contract.
'Language on a mutual non-disparagement agreement is tricky,' a source told Fox News.
But the source also said that things would 'probably' wrap up shortly.

After she was taken off air, Kelly hinted that she knows about some of the skeletons in NBC's closest.
A source also told Fox News that if NBC 'keeps spreading lies about her' the host would not sign an NDA.
Kelly's impending departure cut short her three-year contract with NBC and cost the network millions.
'It's all out war in negotiations between Megyn and NBC,' said one source close to Kelly.
'She doesn't just want the remainder of her $69million contract, she wants more money on top as compensation for what she believes is NBC's attempt to not just have her off the air but to end her career.'
Despite the scandal, the morning show's numbers are on the up.
Since her departure, viewership by 25 to 54 year olds - the key demographic favored by advertisers - for the third hour slot of Today is up about 10 per cent, according to Nielsen.
Today Show ratings have soared since Kelly's departure from NBC after her controversial blackface comments
Kelly being let go from NBC cut short her three-year $69million contract with NBC and cost the network millions in payout, but her departure is so far boosting the morning show's numbers. Kelly pictured on Monday walking through Manhattan
In the last three weeks, viewers for the first two hours of NBC's morning show have surpassed that of rival ABC's Good Morning America, which typically boasts the largest morning viewership.
In Kelly's last week, her 9am program had 675,000 viewers between the ages of 25 and 54 and 2.52 million viewers overall, according to Nielsen.
Just one week after her departure the show clocked 752,000 viewers between 25 and 54 and 2.64million viewers overall - leaping 11 per cent and five per cent respectively.
But last week those numbers jumped to 741,000 viewers between 25 and 54 and more than 2.63million viewers overall - a 10 and four percent jump respectively over the three week period.
From November 5 to 9, Today recorded an average of 4.25million viewers, eclipsing the 4.22million viewers of GMA. Part of the reason is attributed to the network's coverage of the California bar shooting.
Now the network is wondering if the spike in viewership will hold.
Kelly was seen with her husband Douglas Brunt in New York on Monday
The show hasn't seen a viewership streak like this since NBC covered the Olympics in Pyeongchang in South Korea, according to Variety.
NBC's number of viewers has peaked in the past recent months following moments of crisis. Viewers noticeably boosted after Today show house Matt Lauer was fired in late 2017 amid allegations of sexual misconduct.
The audience peak has also benefited Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee, who host the fourth hour of today at 10am and grabbed 1.844million viewers in Kelly's final week on air.
One week later the duo's ratings jumped to 1.964million viewers - a seven percent jump. In the second week following Kelly's departure, they clocked 1.911million viewers, slipping about three percent.
Kelly's third-hour on Today - which runs from 7am to 11am each weekday - is now run by a rotating group of anchors.
It's run from her old set in Studio 6A and also has a live audience. Overall viewership in this hour-long slot rose five percent a week after Kelly left.
The third hour slot of the show is now run by a rotating group of Today Show anchors. Jenna Bush Hager helped take over the 9am program in the first episode following Kelly's firing
The show is now regularly run by Jenna Bush Hager, Al Roker and Craig Melvin. In Kelly's last week at the show she boasted 2.52million viewers. Last week the program bumped to 2.64million viewers overall (pictured: Dylan Dreyer, Craig Melvin, Jenna Bush Hager and Stephanie Gosk on November 5)
Jenna Bush Hager, Al Roker and Craig Melvin replaced Kelly on the show after she was let go.
Kelly has yet to speak about her NBC departure, but she's kept a smile on her face during outings in New York.
Since she was abruptly taken off the air she's been spotted on date nights with her husband Douglas Brunt and is filling her days with attending Broadway shows, romantic dinners and running errands.
Kelly apologized to colleagues after her comments defending racist Halloween gags prompted an immediate backlash.
She made the offending remarks during an awkward roundtable discussion about inappropriate and offensive costumes on her eponymous one-hour block of the Today show, known as Megyn Kelly Today.
During the segment, Kelly said it was OK when she was growing up for white people to dress up as black characters, and she spoke out against a controversy that erupted last year over a reality star who portrayed Diana Ross.
Kelly had texted Luann de Lesseps to apologize for referencing her Diana Ross costume (shown) in the panel about blackface that led to her dismissal from Today reports US Weekly
'But what is racist? Kelly asked. 'Because you do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on blackface on Halloween, or a black person who puts on whiteface for Halloween.
'Back when I was a kid that was OK, as long as you were dressing up as, like, a character'.
Later in the discussion, Kelly brought up Luann de Lesseps, a star on The Real Housewives of New York who drew a backlash last year for dressing up as Ross.
Many observers were aghast at Kelly's comments, and some noted that the panel did not include a single person of color.
Also absent from the discussion was any mention of the ugly history of blackface, a tradition spanning centuries meant to perpetuate racist stereotypes.
Kelly left Fox News in 2017 to sign a contract with NBC worth a reported $23million a year.

The former NBC host kept a smile on her face as she kicked off...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
