KELLY Clarkson’s weight loss has sparked fashion setbacks on her TV show as she struggles to embrace her svelte shape, a stylist says.
She claimed that The Kelly Clarkson Show team was encouraging the divorced mother of two to wear sexier clothes and connect with her new “single era.”
Kelly, 41, shared a clip on Instagram on Saturday, where she spoke about the Webby Awards, saying her team was “amazing.”
The Because Of You singer was dressed in a belted leather minidress with a cream turtleneck underneath.
“Damn, how the hell did she get so thin!” commented one fan.
“No, in this outfit,” added another.

Stylist Tavia Sharp said Kelly’s dress didn’t fit her well.
She claimed the underwear proved Kelly was afraid of showing “too much skin.”
Kelly wore bell-bottoms, dresses, chiffon blouses and A-line skirts on the NBC show this season.
The former American Idol winner often paired her outfits with wedges and heels.
She also boasted bright red lipstick and belts that tighten the waist.
RUPTURE OF THE OLD LOOK
Despite the change in her wardrobe, Sharp said the singer doesn’t “look ready for some of these looks.”
“Her stylist is trying to make her sexier for the show,” Sharp told The US Sun.
“Underneath the lipstick and leather, Kelly doesn’t own her sex appeal.
“She felt uncomfortable in the mustard leather mini dress and backed away.
“She didn’t like the low V-neck and added a high collar.
“The dress doesn’t fit her either and, as with other clothes, she put on a belt.
“For Kelly, after her rapid weight loss, a lot of skin would be showing.”
MISS INDEPENDENT
It looks like Kelly and her stylist may be at odds over how to dress her body these days.
“Kelly’s stylist wants her to show off her new body and give off that sexy single-girl vibe, but she wants to cover up,” Sharp added.
“Kelly’s style is everywhere now.”
PIECE BY PIECE
Kelly has been open about her struggle to lose weight.
She shared how a thyroid disorder affected her weight.
Kelly revealed in her show in January, doctors told her she was pre-diabetic.
“That’s literally what happened. I wasn’t shocked. I was a little overweight, so I wasn’t shocked,” Kelly said.
“But they said, ‘You’re pre-diabetic. You’re at your limit.’”
In an interview with PeopleKelly said she decided to overhaul her lifestyle.
“I was very unhappy with [Los Angeles] and had been for several years. I needed a fresh start,” she said.
“I’ve lost weight because I’ve been listening to my doctor.
“I eat a healthy mix… and 90% of the time I’m pretty good at it because a protein diet is good for me anyway,” Kelly added.
Kelly’s extreme weight loss has unfortunately created extreme differences and problems in her style.

In February, a source told The US Sun that Kelly had lost 40 pounds.
“Kelly has lost about 20 pounds in the last six months and that has her fans excited about it,” the source said.
“But it’s not a big deal for Kelly or the show’s team because Kelly is constantly updating her look, her workouts and her diet.”
Kelly did not admit to using Ozempic or any similar medication to lose weight.
She went on to show off her new shape at the 2024 Grammys.
Kelly arrived on the red carpet in a custom white dress from the Jason Wu collection with her son.
BEAUTIFUL DISASTER
Sharp said Kelly seemed “confused” about her style on the red carpet.
She stated that the star needed direction on her TV show.
“Kelly has lost a lot of weight and seems to want to experiment to some extent on set,” she said.
“It was a rapid weight loss, which may seem confusing.
Some of Kelly’s clothes don’t even fit her well.

“There has been a significant change for her and her body.
“Kelly’s extreme weight loss has unfortunately created extreme differences and issues in her style.
“She has gone to all these extremes with her looks since the beginning of the year.
“Perhaps not knowing who to turn to or who to trust.
“She uses different colors, lengths and styles.”
“They range from rocker tees to flared pants, polished blouses, standard skirts or belted jackets,” the designer continued.
“Some of your clothes don’t even fit you well.
“Kelly’s stylist got divorced, so maybe that’s simultaneously pushing her into the single era.”
SINCE YOU’VE BEEN GONE
Kelly left her ex-husband, talent manager Brandon Blackstock, in 2020 after seven years of marriage.
The pair, who share children River Rose, 10, and Remington Alexander, 8, finalized their divorce in 2022.
Kelly moved to New York in 2023 to begin filming a new season of her show, which she has hosted for five years.
Kelly still wasn’t very comfortable with her stomach area.

Sharp said Season 5’s style could disappoint Kelly when she interviews high-profile guests.
Kelly welcomed Hilary Clinton to the set on Monday.
Sharp stated that Kelly tried to be brave with her outfit. She said the star looked out of place next to her more “conservative” guest.
“Hilary Clinton’s outfit is her bravest style yet,” she said.
“But Kelly was trying too hard and the shorts didn’t fit her well.
“She was trying to be sexy here, showing off her legs in those heels.
“Here she is, showing off her legs and wearing those high heels.
Kelly ended up outdoing Hilary Clinton in high heels and sexy shorts.

“But Kelly still wasn’t very comfortable with her belly area.
“It’s a big incompatibility with red lipstick.
“Kelly ended up outdoing Hilary Clinton in her high heels and sexy shorts, while Hilary is very conservative.
“The fact that she decided to look taller than Hilary was also strange.
“They’re probably the same height.
“If you compare Kelly to Drew Barrymore, who is very conservative and well put together, her current style just isn’t working.”
