Kelly Clarkson’s Denim Outfit Misses the Mark

Kelly Clarkson may have struck out with the dress she wore to the 2022 Country Music Awards, but she did not give up on her love for denim, and you know what, we are not mad. The “Miss Independent” singer has elevated her style choices since that fateful denim look, and one of our favorites comes from a photo taken of her outside of Tom’s Restaurant in New York City in September 2024. 

Clarkson was all smiles as she sported a light-wash denim blue jumpsuit that gave her a soft and fresh look, complementing her skin tone while giving off a relaxed, approachable vibe. The pale blue color brought out the warmth in her blond hair. This color is considered one of the trendiest denim shades for 2025, which means Clarkson was ahead of the curve with this look. The jumpsuit also fits her really well, as it’s structured at the waist, defining her shape nicely without being tight. The wide-leg cut is super flattering too, balancing her figure and creating a breezy, confident look. 

The short sleeves and button-up style make the outfit feel casual enough for a day out, but the design details, like the seam lines and pockets, give it enough polish to feel stylish and intentional. Clarkson also kept it simple with white sneakers, perfect for a casual city vibe! So overall, this outfit did a better job at showing off her fun personality, while still looking put together, than that denim dress ever did. And we hope it gets stored far-far away.
