The former *American Idol* star was seen at the famous Tom’s Restaurant. Hello!
Kelly Clarkson turned heads with her fashion-forward style as she stepped out in New York City on Wednesday. The 42-year-old singer and talk show host was seen enjoying a meal at the famous Tom’s Restaurant, known for its role in the classic TV show Seinfeld. She carried a blue thermos and wore a stylish denim jumpsuit, exuding confidence and joy amidst the vibrant New York atmosphere.
Kelly, who balances hosting The Kelly Clarkson Show with covering NBC’s 2024 Olympics in Paris, looked fantastic in her outfit. Her blonde hair was styled in soft waves with chic bangs, and her bold red lipstick added a striking touch to her ensemble. She looked radiant and happy as she walked through the bustling streets of Manhattan.
This sighting follows Kelly's recent openness about her weight loss journey. Earlier this year, she shared with guest Whoopi Goldberg on her show that she had turned to medication to help manage her weight. For years, Kelly had been open about her struggles with weight, initially attributing changes to increased exercise and dietary adjustments. However, she recently admitted to using a specific medication after her health issues and ongoing discussions with her doctor.

In her candid conversation with Whoopi, Kelly clarified that the medication was not the widely known Ozempic but a different drug prescribed to address her unique health needs. She revealed that her doctor had been recommending the medication for two years before she decided to try it. “My doctor chased me for like two years,” Kelly said. Despite initial fears, including concerns about her thyroid problems, she eventually gave the medication a chance, resulting in noticeable weight loss.

Though the exact amount of weight lost hasn’t been confirmed publicly by Kelly, reports suggest she shed around 60 pounds. The medication, she explained, helps her body process sugar more effectively, which is a significant benefit due to her thyroid condition. "It's something that aids in helping break down the sugar," she noted, explaining the medication’s impact.
Kelly's transformation became apparent when she saw herself on camera. She humorously recalled her surprise at the change, saying, "Seeing yourself, I didn't see it... all of a sudden, I was like, 'Who the f*** is that?'" Despite the physical changes, Kelly emphasized that she never felt insecure about her body at the time, although she later recognized that her health could have been at risk.

In addition to her personal milestones, Wednesday was also significant for Kelly professionally. It marked the 22nd anniversary of her victory on American Idol, the show that launched her career. Reflecting on the day she won the competition in 2001, Kelly shared her joy on Instagram. “22 years since winning American Idol. You know what, and I’m back on TV!” she exclaimed, celebrating the journey that has taken her from a hopeful contestant to a celebrated global star and TV host.
