Kelly Clarkson Showed Out in Style While Hosting AND Performing at the Billboard Music Awards

Kelly Clarkson is hosting the Billboard Music Awards for the second year in a row, and she started off the night by coming in hot on the red carpet! The 37-year-old singer and proud mama rocked a sequined black dress with a high neck and thigh-high slits. She topped things off with a rock-'n'-roll-approved bouffant, and honestly, we're in awe of her whole vibe.

The original American Idol winner pulled double duty, performing twice alongside her hosting duties! She opened the award show with a high-energy medley of nominated hits (even singing in Spanish for one of them) and later on, took the stage again to belt out her song, "Broken & Beautiful" from the soundtrack of the new animated film Uglydolls. And of course, she kept us laughing with her usual brand of charm and sharp wit. Keep scrolling to see more photos from Kelly's second time hosting the BBMAs!
