Host with the most! Kelly Clarkson didn’t skimp on the glamour as she hosted the 12th Annual NFL Honors, which took place at Symphony Hall in Phoenix on Thursday evening. The 40-year-old singer appeared in two show-stopping looks for star-studded event ahead of Super Bowl LVII
Clarkson’s red carpet dress featured Adidas’ iconic white stripes down each sleeve, as well as both the Adidas and Gucci logos on the chest.
A sizable train trailed behind Clarkson as she moved from pose to pose.
The Grammy-winning performer accessorized with a pair of mirrored chandelier earrings that added sparkle to her look.
Her bright blonde hair was worn sleek and straight as it hung down her back.
The Texas native’s fun jersey dress was meant to resemble those worn by the Dallas Cowboys — making it clear that it’s her preferred team.
It had a billowing skirt that featured the last names of some of her favorite players, including running back Ezekiel Elliott and tight end Dalton Schultz.
It was announced that Clarkson would host the annual ceremony this past December.
The hitmaker is the first woman to headline the star-studded affair.

Clarkson spoke about hosting the event with Entertainment Tonight, where she expressed that a lot of women make up the NFL’s fanbase.
‘I mean, that it’s a really cool thing. It’s a lot of weight to carry, ’cause I know there’s a lot of females in this whole industry in general,’ she explained.
Clarkson said she was happy to be able to serve as the annual event’s first-ever female host.
‘I’m gonna stand for them and I hope everybody has a good time tonight. I’m very proud to be the first one,’ she said.
Clarkson humorously stated that she felt as if her past experience serving as the host of various other programs prepared her for the NFL Honors.
‘I guess [once] you host a show they start asking you to host everything. I’m excited though! This is actually the year I really got into football with my girlfriends and my sisters,’ she stated.
