Kelly Clarkson at the 2009 VH1 Divas
Here’s Kelly Clarkson on the red carpet and on stage at the 2009 VH1 Divas held at NY’s Brooklyn Academy of Music on Thursday.
No visible changes on the weight front, but she positively looks much better in dresses.
Looking pretty good in the black little number on the left (the angle doesn’t help in the second picture though).

she needs to stop mistaking curvy for fat. ur not curvy hon,ur just plain fat.
I agree
she is not curvy at all
just overweight
But she is a DIVA in the great sense of the word. Kelly can S-A-N-G (aka sing her soul out).
She is the modern day JANIS JOPLIN… She is in it to perform and that is where her heart will always be in my opinion and per her statements in interviews.
I am glad she was the first American Idol. I was never a fan of hers and didn’t know much about the chick until I started reading about her weight etc. I chose to look into it out of curiosity and find her voice moves people. Hence, fat or curvy she is an inspiration to many and I applaud her for her accomplishments
strapless pieces are abviously not recommened at her weight.
but the black dress is super flattering, i’m surprised how great she looks in the first pic.
agree, this is like the first time when she really picks the right outfit
She does look heavier….as already repeatedly and repeatedly established.
I wish some people would acting like she should hide in a closet and cry, and not re-emerge until she’s lost thirty pounds.
She’s heavier. Okay. End. She’s still a cute girl, with a personality (from what I’ve read of her) that I like.
Yes she is heavy, as already repeatedly established, a fact that she refuses to accept.
She shouldn’t hide in the closet, nor should anyone, and I’ve yet to see someone act or say this about her.
Yes she is heavy,end of period-yet she keeps going on interviews saying she’s curvy, when she’s clearly not, and verbally attacking thinner females. There is nothing wrong with plus sized females, but one must accept the fact that she is now plus sized, not lie about her body type.
Then go tell Ms. Clarkson that she’s fat, if it will make you feel better. Clearly, you want her to admit this.
Hard to believe: but your opinion of her body type is not not necessarily hers. She may think she looks fine. She may thinks she’s huge. She may think she’s too thin.
You don’t know what she thinks, so to insist that she needs to admit anything about what YOU think her body type is, is simply preposterous…and asinine.
Clearly, her belief is that she’s “curvy”, whether the rest of the free world agrees or not. Why would she say otherwise?
If I thought you were overweight, and you thought you look perfectly fine, then why would you run around insisting you’re overweight because of my opinion of you?
You wouldn’t.
Even if her BMI is off the chart, until she looks in the mirror and sees something she disagrees with, she has no obligation to run around touting others’ beliefs of HER body.
THANK YOU JULIET!
I completely agree with you. She’s “lying” about her body type if SHE genuinely believes that’s how she looks.
It doesn’t matter what everyone else thinks. It’s her damn body and I don’t see anyone rushing out to California help her lose weight.
Instead it’s all “admit you’re fat!”
what is her “admitting” anything going to do for you?
Yes, she’s gained weight. I’m sure she’s trying to lose it too. but it sounds like some people want her to feel bad about herself.
just because you think she’s fat doesn’t mean she does.
(reposting my comment, i didn’t know cursing wasn’t allowed, so i edited it out:)
I also agree with juliette. It really does seem like some people want her to feel badly about herself.
If Kelly Clarkson feels like she looks hot and thinks she’s the sexiest woman alive, then more power to her. There are enough people with low self esteem as it is, and her “accepting” that she’s big is complete BS.
I, for one, am glad that she’s not wallowing in self pity and, as juliette said, isn’t sitting at home and feeling like crap. instead, she’s out, saying “I’m curvy and I look awesome
the black dress was a perfect choice but is she going to spend the rest of her life wearing black ?! I don’t like her when she calls herself curvy cus she is not ,it’s ok if she feels ok about herself and proud of her extra pounds but please don’t put yourself in the curvy level cus you’re not JLO , Kim kardashian , Monica bellucci…. and PS: you have the sweetest face’ de la showbiz’
fat fat fat
phenomenal singer and performer phenomenal singer and performer phenomenal singer and performer
yeah…she’s not skinny or slim anymore, but she looks really fabulous in the black dress and pretty good in the green. Thumbs up for being well dressed!
Overweight doesn’t equal ugly.
Her body doesn’t look bad per say, but her arms are really whats making her look so bad.
the black one suits her and i think it has to do w/ the shape as much as the colour, and actually i’d like the green too if it wasn’t strapless. She appears a bit bigger in it than in the other, but she’s not a skinny girl and although i think you should concider what makes you look good, it’s pointless to always try and look THE-thinnest-possible, it’s like not admitting what you are. I think she would look better if she were just a bit slimmer, but unlike many others i’m not convinced she’s overweight. Biggish yep, but BMI over 25? I’m so short that even if i had a BMI of 24 i’d look somewhat like a balloon. I don’t know in these pics she just doesn’t seem THAT big to me… Maybe she is, IDK. She still looks healthy to me.
i agree. she doesn’t look as big as some of the other commenters are acting like she is. To me, it’s really just in her face. plus pictures can add up to fifteen pounds.
it looks like she may have even lost some weight/
I think her face is just naturally round. Like you know a baby’s is.
Love the black dress. Its suits her a lot
I’m 4′11″ and at a BMI of 24, I don’t look like a balloon. Granted that is heavier than I’m comfortable with, and I much prefer having a BMI of 19 – 23…
Kelly is 5′3″ right? I think it’s pretty safe to say that her BMI is in the overweight range. I would be VERY surprised if her BMI isn’t higher than 25. And equally surprised if it is lower than 27.
Love the one-shoulder dress. Would look just as good(actually, better) if it was a different color like a deep blue, deep purple, or deep green, because that dress does show that yes, she is actually curvy AND overweight at the same time. Her stomach is smaller than her hips/bum(but her breasts aren’t big, but you don’t need big breasts to have curves
), I think that’s where the “curvy” aspect of her comes from 
Wish my butt looked like hers, it is round and firm looking despite the extra weight 
Wow. Who cares if Kelly’s overweight. She looks happy, and cute. Stop being so biased.
She looks so good in the black dress. Love the asymmetrical shoulder.
But isn’t that what we’re discussing? Clearly she is overweight, denying that is like saying it’s unnatural to take a crap!
Her stomach is still flat though… how do you explain that?
spanx?
I just remember being that size,I was so uncomfortable.I was so unhappy.Thumbs up if she’s happy.
But please someone must let her know that curvy and fat are 2 different things.
I just cannot stand her because of the comments she made in the last post about her!! Its really entirely changed my opinion of her. And I believe the main difference (and why we address that she is overweight) is that curvy women still take care of themselves, curvy women I.e. Kim kardashian and JLo could also very easily be overweight if they stopped exercising and watching their weight. I think its kelly’s god given right to be overweight and do what she wants with that body but I think its somewhat delusional to put herself in the curvy category, and on top of that its very bad for her own health to be overweight. I know she’s a beacon of light for people who are overweight but when it comes down to the facts, it really isn’t a healthy way to live and has the possibility of cutting your life a lot shorter than should be.
Yeah I don’t like her ever since the “filling out the jeans” comment. If I need to look like this to “fill out” a pair of jeans, I think I’ll have to pass.
she might be happy with herself, but she has let herself go and she is fat. she is very short and it’s just unhealthy…given that she spoke so many times about running regularly in the past, something is going on.
she is losing her pretty features on the face with the weight she’s put on. i hav her first album in my hands and i wonder if the make-up artist was just that good or did her face really change from the weight-gaining.
