Kelly Ripa made a striking entrance at the 2024 Time 100 Gala, stunning in a daring cut-out gown that sculpted her figure. While she dazzled netizens, some expressed worry that behind the glamour, she appeared unhealthy.

Kelly Ripa, 53, recently graced the Time 100 Gala, making a stylish statement with her fit physique. Alongside her husband, Mark Consuelos, Ripa showcased a striking look in a vibrant red cut-out floor-length gown, which she shared on Instagram.

Consuelos complemented his wife's look with his dapper black-and-white suit, but Ripa's toned arms and striking appearance caught Instagram users' attention. One user remarked, "She has been looking very thin."

Another voiced a more direct worry, stating, "Ummm am I the only one to say it - Kelly please seek help. You are too underweight." A third commenter critiqued Ripa's appearance, noting, "Her head is literally bigger than her body. Not a great role model for women."

However, amidst the criticism, some admired Ripa's fit figure."You guys look great! Love your dress Kelly," one fan commented, while another remarked, "Those arms Kelly !!!"

Another user shared, "Great toned arms, Kelly, and the dress looks fabulous on you!" Someone else chimed in, "Lady in RED is stunning!!!"

At the event, additional photos showed Ripa elegantly draping a satin ivory blazer over her shoulders. She complemented her ensemble with a chic black clutch and sleek pointed-toe heels.

Despite the mixed feedback, Ripa's radiance was undeniable. Moreover, her enduring partnership with Consuelos celebrated through their long-standing marriage, added further depth to their public image.

In a recent interview at the gala, Ripa offered insights into their relationship. "A good marriage comes from within, and it doesn't matter what business you're in; if you're if you have a solid foundation at home then your foundation is solid no matter what your job is," she said.

Ripa and her husband recently celebrated their first anniversary of hosting "LIVE with Kelly and Mark." Reflecting on their collaboration starting April 2023, Consuelos expressed newfound admiration for Ripa's work ethic, stating, "She works really, really, really hard."

The Times event was just one of many where Ripa and her husband captured attention. They also dazzled at the Oscars last March, with Ripa in a sheer black gown and Consuelos in a classic tuxedo. Ripa's playful caption, "Mom and dad storming the red carpet," added a personal touch.

The reception to Ripa's fashion choice was a whirlwind of emotions, encapsulating the diverse reactions of her vast fanbase. Some admirers were all praises, with comments like "Omg!!! That dress!!!" and "Kelly, your hair, the dress... you look gorgeous," highlighting the overwhelming approval of her look.

Others offered gentle critiques or personal opinions, exemplified by a straightforward "I love you Kelly but not this dress." Yet, it was clear that Ripa's ability to shine through, as noted in the commendation, "Kelly, you especially shine through in that beautiful dress," was an undeniable consensus among her audience.

Ripa's toned appearance has been a topic of discussion, and the secrets to maintaining her fit figure are largely attributed to her diet. Celebrity nutritionist Dr. Daryl Gioffre has shared details of Ripa’s dietary regimen.

According to Dr. Gioffre, Ripa, who she described as "supermom," has embraced a strength eating lifestyle, a diet focused on nutrient-dense foods like greens, healthy fats, proteins, and fibers, designed to fortify the body without emphasizing restrictions.

Gioffre said Ripa’s daily food intake, started with a green powder mixed with water. Her routine includes green juice, coffee with grass-fed butter, snacks like green apples with almond butter, and meals rich in salads, vegetables, and protein.

The celebrity nutritionist has also emphasized Ripa's balance and moderation in nutrition. For dessert, he said the TV personality enjoys treating herself to avocado chocolate mousse, or chocolate chia pudding and would end her day with a detox tea.

Expanding on her health routines, Ripa has incorporated a vitamin regimen through Persona Nutrition, where she serves as a spokesperson. This personalized supplement program is tailored to fill nutritional gaps based on individual dietary needs and lifestyle choices.

Although she admitted that taking vitamins overwhelmed her, Ripa has appreciated how vitamins have simplified her regimen and significantly impacted her well-being.

Ripa also shared her devotion to a "perfect diet" and a fitness routine seven days a week. "I'm pretty stringent about taking care of myself in a certain way," she said.

Renowned for her commitment to fitness and well-being, Ripa's regimen includes a mix of dance-cardio class AKT, SoulCycle, and running, affirming that these activities are crucial for her physical appearance and emotional wellness. She has even been with her personal trainer for over 10 years.

Beyond maintaining health and wellness, Kelly Ripa cherishes her role as a mother. She is a proud mom of three—Michael, Lola, and Joaquin. Since her youngest, Joaquin, left for college, she and her husband, Consuelos, have transitioned to being empty-nesters.

Despite the change, the couple, who have been together for over two decades, continues to treasure the New York City home where they raised their children. Their family house, once bustling with activity, reflects their taste for elegance and comfort.

Through Instagram, Ripa often provides her followers with a virtual tour of their exquisite abode, highlighting details from the opulent foyer to the spacious bedroom she shares with her husband.

However, the departure of their children—Michael and Lola living independently after graduating from New York University, and Joaquin attending the University of Michigan—has brought a quieter rhythm to their once lively home. Ripa admitted that adjusting to the empty nest wasn't easy.

"The best part is no laundry...no dishes. Nothing," Ripa joked. However, the serenity made her nostalgic, wishing for a slowed-down past when the kids were young. Their first dinner sans kids was an overly ambitious feast for 12, making them recognize their quiet home's enormity.

Yet, they didn't wallow for long. Instead, they embraced their newfound freedom. "We ate on our schedule, hiked, even went rock climbing – quite a thrill!" shared Ripa.
