Kelly Clarkson continues to stun fans with her dramatic weight loss, showing off a different slimming outfit for every episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show. This week, the talk show host donned a black leather jumpsuit that belted at the waist to flaunt her new thinner frame as she welcomed actor Kevin Bacon onto her show, and fans wasted no time telling her how good she looks: “You look absolutely gorgeous!” wrote one fan on @KellyClarksonShow’s Instagram post.
Though the “Since U Been Gone” singer’s weight has fluctuated a lot over the course of her career, this is certainly the thinnest she’s ever looked. Down 40 lbs, many fans are wondering how she shed the pounds—and how she’s keeping them off—but sources close to the star are saying it all comes down to diet and exercise.

Kelly Clarkson shows off slim figure in black jumpsuit
To welcome Kevin Bacon and Ego Nwodim onto the show, Kelly wore a black leather jumpsuit that fit her like a glove. It was long-sleeve—it's getting cold in NYC!—and buttoned up the front. But what really showed off Kelly's newly thin frame was the waist-cinching black leather belt that she tied in the front. But her small waist wasn't the only thing showing proof that she's down 40 pounds—her jawline is more defined, her arms and legs are noticeably thinner, and she's absolutely glowing! We're so happy for her!
Though many speculated that the star could be on Ozempic, the diabetic drug turned Hollywood weight loss drug that many other celebrities have been accused of using, sources close to the singer that it's just a matter of diet and exercise. Whatever she's doing, it's certainly working!
"She's limited her sugar and carb intake," an insider told Life & Style. "She's cut out soda, chips, biscuits, cheese, and tortillas. And she's added exercise, mostly cardio, into her weekly routine. She's lost about 40 pounds."
"She feels amazing," the source continued, adding: "Kelly, like many people, can be an emotional eater, so she gained weight during the divorce." Kelly's divorce from her husband of 7 years was finalized in March of 2022.
