Kelly Clarkson ‘sleighed’ her double duty as host and performer at the 91st Annual Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony in Midtown Manhattan on Wednesday night.
The 41-year-old talk show host made merry in all-black winter gear beneath a white furry, belted coat selected by her stylist Candice Lambert McAndrews.
Hairstylist Robert Ramos gave Kelly’s fringed brunette locks a boost with a tidy top-knot and make-up artist Gloria Elias-Foeillet applied a Candy Cane red lip color on her pout.
Much ado has been made over Clarkson’s considerable weight loss over the past year, which an insider told DailyMail.com was ‘definitely not from surgery.’
‘She has been eating well, working out. She has a team of people to help her with nutrition and exercise, but she always takes good care of herself,’ the source confided last month.

‘However, it goes without saying that she had a little nudge from somewhere.’
Just one glimpse at the comments section of the Texan pop powerhouse’s latest Instagram post revealed a bevvy of fans pleading with her to reveal her diet secrets, Ozempic or otherwise.
During the NBC televised event, Kelly performed two of her very own Christmas chestnuts – Underneath the Tree from 2013 and Merry Christmas Baby from 2021.
‘It’s just a happy feel-good thing,’ Clarkson gushed during a November 1 Instagram Q&A.
‘My Christmas records mean more to me than any of my records. I just love the season. That’s why I have a ranch in Montana. The snow looks like a fresh start, like, every day you wake up.’
The three-time Grammy winner also admitted she hadn’t been the best gift giver over the past two years because of the depression stemming from her acrimonious divorce from Brandon Blackstock.
‘So a lot of people just got money for like a couple years, which I think they were fine with, but this year I’m trying to really, like, giving something personal. And finding out [what they want] and stuff like that. Just doing something special and thoughtful,’ Kelly said.
‘So that’s why I’m excited because [New York City] is, like, a shopping mecca! To get to live here and buy some cool stuff? I’m very excited. And what I’m good at is shopping for others while shopping for me!’
