Kelly Clarkson debuted a new hairstyle on her talk show this week after dramatically losing weight.
The American Idol first-time pop star showed off her thin bangs as her hair color appeared to be a lighter shade of blonde than usual.
The stunner wore her locks down and styled beautifully in loose waves while she added bronze makeup with gold hoop earrings.
And she showed off her newly slim figure nicely in a dark, figure-hugging top with a long gold pleated skirt and black peep-toe high heels.
At the start of her fall 2023 season on The Kelly Clarkson Show, she showed off a slimmer figure after saying she simply made healthier choices.

“Today I’m writing you a recipe for laughing at Kelly!”
“Join us for all the fun with Leslie Jones and Ian Somerhalder plus a very special Kellyoke duet and a huge surprise for some super fans!” read the caption on Instagram.
After her divorce from Brandon Blackstock, with whom she has two children, the presenter has never looked better.
The star has lost weight after making “better life choices” following her messy divorce and brutal custody battle, exclusively revealed last week.
The weight loss fueled speculation that she had turned to surgery – or new celebrity favorite Ozempic – to shed the pounds.
Kelly hasn’t publicly addressed her transformation yet, but a source has insisted she will be open with fans about using Ozempic.

“If she had taken Ozempic or was taking it in the future, she would be the first person to share this with the world,” they said.
“She wouldn’t keep this a secret. She’s very transparent and real, and that’s the person she’s always been. Kelly doesn’t do anything stupid to anyone.’
It is believed that her divorce, her move from Los Angeles to New York City and her desire to be “healthier” for her children River Rose, 9, and Remington Alexander, 7, were the reasons for her decision to retire to focus on their well-being.

According to a source close to Kelly (pictured left in March 2022), she probably got “a little push from somewhere.”
“She’s in New York now and the stress of the divorce and those who have talked about the toxic work environment on her show has really taken its toll and now her well-being and her health is more of a focus for her and.” Improvement is happening now,” the source continued.
“She is making better life choices and making decisions that are right for her and her family.”
“Now that she is a single mother, she wants to be healthy for her children and have them with her for a long time. Therefore, like everything else, she has maintained her new life and weight with a structure that approaches things old-fashioned way, through hard work.’
Kelly first showed off her new figure on Instagram on Saturday as she prepared for an appearance on Jimmy Fallon.

As expected, fans were quick to comment on the hot new snap, with many wondering if she had been taking Ozempic – a drug used to treat type 2 diabetes but which also has a weight loss side effect.
Celebrities like Sharon Osbourne, Tracy Morgan and Amy Schumer have all used Ozempic.
Kelly, who won the first season of American Idol in 2002, also showed off her slim figure while attending the We Can Survive concert to promote mental health awareness on October 14.
In 2020, she admitted that she felt “more pressure” in the music industry when she was thin.
The Since U Been Gone singer said she used to be shown naked magazine covers of women and said: “You’re competing with that.”
“I felt more pressure. They were more like magazines that were thrown at you and said, “This is what you’re competing with, and we have to compete with it.” I can’t compete with that. That’s not even my picture. That’s not me. They are,” she told Glamor UK.
Kelly and her ex Brandon were married for seven years before splitting in 2020, sparking a lengthy legal battle over money.
The divorce dragged on for a year and a half before it was finally finalized in March 2022. A brutal custody battle ensued between the ex-partners, with Clarkson ultimately receiving sole custody.
Kelly released a bitter breakup album earlier this year called Chemistry that detailed the “good, the bad and the ugly” of her relationship with Brandon.
She recently moved to New York City with her children for a “fresh start” and will now host her self-titled talk show from the Big Apple.
