While Kelly Clarkson’s television wardrobe leans toward modest blouses, velvet maxi skirts, and statement boots, her performance outfits embrace the boldness of sultry, skin-baring styles.
On December 11, the singer shared that she will be hosting NFL Christmas Gameday live on Netflix. The Christmas Day football action features two marquee NFC division rivalries. The Dallas Cowboys are set to compete against the Washington Commanders at 1PM ET and the Detroit Lions will rival the Minnesota Vikings at 4:30 PM ET on December 25.
"Two great football games on Christmas Day. That's a present we can all enjoy," she said in the announcement video.

The garment featured a plunging neckline with long sleeves. Kelly's toasted-almond hued locks were styled into soft waves while her makeup oozed soft glam, courtesy of a shimmery eye, a pinch of blush, and a bold red lip.
Kicking off the Netflix broadcast, the beloved talk show host will perform "Underneath the Tree," blending festive spirit with her well-known football fandom.
Kelly Clarkson's fashion
This isn't the first time Kelly has embraced the naked dress trend. The singer's show wardrobe often boasts iterations of sheer, embellished jumpsuits. However, when it comes to her more wearable outfits, Kelly is a fan of fashion boutique VIC.

"We're thrilled that Kelly Clarkson has recently become a VICI fan! She's a style icon, so we're huge fans of hers, as well. Some of our other recent celebrity fans include Naomi Watts and Madison LeCroy. We can't wait to see what's next in VICI sightings!" they said.

Naked dress trend
Kelly’s bold fashion choice arrives at the end of a year when the naked dress reigned supreme. Standout moments included Margot Robbie’s jeweled custom Armani Privé look, Dakota Johnson and Demi Moore’s lace creations by Gucci, and Lily Allen’s striking Coleen Allen 'revenge dress'.
At its core, the trend is defined by its barely-there materials, sheer mesh, metallic knits, chainmail, lace, and airy organza all play a part in its ethereal appeal.

"It's so weird. It's just, it's just bodies. I mean, I think there's inappropriate ages for certain things, but at some point it's just like, we're not that different. You know?"
Considering her stance on embracing body image, this makes Kelly's recent fashion choice feel more personal and less like a simple adherence to a trend.
