Kelly Clarkson Turns Heads with a Striking Look – After Previously Weighing 203 Lbs

The 43-year-old songstress sparked fresh conversation online after debuting a striking seasonal look — months after opening up about her personal health journey. A new video from her show teased more than just Christmas cheer, leaving fans focused on the diva herself.

Kelly Clarkson recently made headlines after appearing in a festive Instagram video that highlighted not only the holiday transformation of her show's set, but also a noticeable change in her appearance.

In the short clip posted to the official Instagram account of "The Kelly Clarkson Show," Clarkson was first seen in a cozy night suit. Moments later, she stepped into frame holding two plugs, which she connected with a smile and a playful wink, saying, "You're welcome."

Instantly, the studio lit up in full holiday decor as "Jingle Bells" played in the background. The caption read, "Plugging in our cozy cabin Christmas! 🤩🎄."

While the clip showcased the show's seasonal makeover, fans quickly took note of Clarkson's striking look. Dressed in a deep burgundy velvet dress with a flared skirt, lace neckline, and three-quarter sleeves, the singer completed her look with sheer black tights and loose, wavy hair.

Her soft pink lipstick and subtle eye makeup complemented her polished appearance, blending well with the festive backdrop that featured a decorated tree and holiday-themed furniture.

Social media followers flooded the comment section with admiration. One person wrote, "Looks beautiful ❤️." Another added, "You're amazing Kelly!" A third comment read, "Kelly you are ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS."

The positive attention comes after Clarkson openly discussed her previous weight during a May 2024 episode of her talk show. In conversation with Whoopi Goldberg, the singer shared, "I was like my heaviest. I was 203 [lbs], and I'm 5'3" and a half."

Despite assumptions made by others, Clarkson clarified that her weight did not reflect her emotional state. She explained that she was neither depressed nor miserable at the time, challenging public perceptions.
