It looks like she has actually bulked up just a bit on her arm muscles… perhaps she decided to put a few healthy pounds onto her once super-skinny frame?

first! she scares me.
oh em geesus I really WAS first.
She is pretty and she is in great shape-I think it does look like she gained a little and it makes her face better. However, I don’t love this dress on her…
I never thought she was pretty. She looks like a piece of leather.
She sometimes looks a little thicker in side views on her show with regis, and her legs might be slightly bigger—but from the front, she is very thin–her percentage of muscle must be ridiculous. She is really in great shape.
Her face looks harsh or something. A little different. She does look bigger, very muscular.
Shes always been muscular even back when she was in Hope and Faith to be honest i think she looks better now
Yikes she’s starting to look like Madonna
So it’s ok to attack Madonna for looking all bulky, but not this woman? She’s no better, she has the body of an athlete. A really manly, ripped and adipocyte-depleted athelete. Even her face has started to lose its female features.
BEAUTIFUL!! She looks great, as always. Love the dress, hair & makeup. She’s in great shape. Her weight is perfect, face looks lovely. She looks healthy and beautiful!
Still looks the same to me:/
I really dislike those shoes, seen them on two of the twilight ladies too. The peeptoe frustrates me for some reason!
lovee her outfit! i want that dress!
This is why you should not tan in your teens and 20s, because in your late 30s you will look leathery and your knees will look like they are melting…
Love the dress!!
Like the dress…but have seen her in more flattering dresses. @ RIAN…agree w/you. Kelly seems to have bulked up a bit more in her upper arm muscles and I also agree with you, that it appears that she has added a few more healthy lbs to her (way too skinny) body frame as well ! @ ali..IMO, I agree w/you that Kelly looks to have added a few lbs to her body and her face is looking “the better” for doing so! @jed,(IMO) I agree w/you that Kelly looks a bit (a teeny tiny bit)bigger in the “side views” On Regis…but from front angles still looks pretty thin!
@elb 1866…Totally Agree. Kelly is becoming a “work in progress” towards becoming the next Madonna. Kelly worships Madonna and Kelly who will be 40 (Oct 2nd, 2010)..(IMO) will be the next “Mini-Madonna” when Kelly hits 49 to 50 years of age! What is troubling (to me, IMO) is that Kelly is definitely NOT PROMOTING a very decent role model for her daughter, Lola, who will soon be 9 years old! Heck Kelly brags abut wearing/borrowing some of Lola’s clothes/outfits. I would NOT be proud to admit to that! In these pics of her, however, I do like her face and her hair. Her face does not seem to look as gaunt/angular in these pics. Maybe it’s the way she has her hair styled around the front of her face or something??? TBH, I STILL think that Kelly looked better when she was on “All My Children” from 1991 thru 2002. Kelly was thin but she also had a softness about her…she had curves…but thin curves…she was just so much cuter… still thin w/just the perfect tiny little curves. Now she is like all muscular and straight up and down. One good thing I noticed in a couple pictures is that her legs look a bit heavier..not fat…maybe more toned…but her legs generally looked like twigs!
Lovely arms..and fit!!
Thankfully, she has gained a little MUCH-NEEDED WEIGHTED. Granted, it is PURE MUSCLE.
She hasn’t gained an ounce. On her show with Regis she makes even the thinnest Celebrities look huge. This woman has serious ED’s. She has said that she idolizes Madonna and it is obvious she tries to manipulate her body to achieve this look. She’s obsessed.
I love her body…she is my thinspiration…..she is great and healthy..i love her arms, however i don’t like this dress, it does nothing for her..but overall i love her
I like her, however, she looks not only anorexic, but tanorexic.
PS Her tatoos are sooooooooooo super tacky and yucky!
I like her body but I think she wears too much make-up, should go for a more natural look.
she is the antithesis of femininity. yuck
“looks muscular”?
Those guns are huge!!!
She looks cute though.
i’m not normally one to negative comment & usually i love her style. but the first pic is scarey.
Her arms are definitely bigger! Wow!
She is definitely a cute little thing, but I always get that narcissistic vibe from her. And why ruin a perfectly shaped leg with a tattoo like that? It looks like one of her kids kicked her in the ankle.
Even with the added muscle, she is still a tiny little thing. I don’t like the shape of the dress on her though.
crazy arms!
Her arms are exactly the same as they have been. It looks like she gained some needed weight in her legs. They no longer look like twigs, which is a good thing.
She’s nowhere near looking like Madonna. She’s not quite that muscular nor as veiny & stringy.
oh no! her arms were perfect before…toned but not manly. but now they are approaching madonna status (NOT a good thing). go back to smaller weights or less reps, whatever you were doing before, kel!!! on another note, her face looks beautiful and very doll-like, and the rest of her body is so cute. can you believe she’s almost 40? i’ll be happy if i look this good when i’m 30
I don’t really like when women have such manly bodies but I guess if it makes them happy. It is probably better than being overweight anyway.
Love the dress, hair & makeup! Im glad shes put on some weight i just wish it wasnt all muscle. Shes obviously in great shape and healthy but imo women look better with more fat and curves.
Wow! Kelly looks absolutely fabulous! She has the most amazing, toned arms that look great but not scary, like Madonna’s. The dress and shoes are beautiful, too and her hair and tan look great!
Boring. Same colour from head to toe.
no no no, id take skinny fat over looking like this. so manly, and no curves at all! just no.
I like her hair like this and she put on much needed weight. However, the dress is awful and so are the shoes.
gorgeous! love her body and the whole outfit here, plus the hairstyle is very pretty and youthful
Someone made a comment about her makeup – she’s not walking down the street like this! She has makeup on for television, The Letterman Show. She’s said she rarely wears makeup when not on t.v. She’s a beauty! If I looked like that, I wouldn’t either.
Yuck. She does look like a piece of leather. She looks like one of those female body builders. All she needs is more spray tan and oil herself up and she could compete! Her face is really looking old in this pic too.
Very cute outfit!! She looks gorgeous!
I LIKE!!
cute outfit,and she looks great!!
This reminds me of those late in life transgendered male to females, albeit with a superior face. I’ve personally never found her to be attractive below the face, but I admire her discipline.
I’m about her size, and the thing is when you try to stay thin w out starving yourself and work out for it this is what happens. I only do “girl”push ups and my arms look like that in photo’s.
@glow…agree about the fact that her legs look better…NOT like twigs. You’re right…her arms aren’t as muscular, veiny & stringy as Madonna(YET!!) Have you seen her “show off” her upper arms on the Live Show? She is awfully muscular in her upper arms especially shen she tries to show off by “flexing”. Her upper arms look almost look like a female body builder look! (Give Kelly time, she’s 39…wait until she is 50—Madonna’s age!) I’ve noticed lately that the Live Show Wardrobe people have been dressing her in loose fitting tops w/slacks or even with skirts…her blouses are tucked in but still sort of “flowy” over her waist area. She still wears “cinched in” dresses but it seems that she’s wearing looser fitting clothes more often lately, anyway.
sonr like her arms
I tried to stay up and watch her on Lettermen, but fell asleep! Did anyone catch it? She seems like a nice person/wife/mommy, but I really have never seen another celeb (‘cept for Rachel Zoe and Nicole Ritchie) who really looks like they have a serious health issue with their weight.
Although I agree with what you all have said: she looks like she has put on some much needed lbs. even though the wardrobe people on her am show put her in clothes to hide her skinniness!
Stella Mccartney lace mini dress, i like it, but very girly looking for such a fit and muscly lady, Sergio Rossi pumps, i love them too.
FANTASTIC ARMS! Love her! Her legs look amazing too. I just think that ugly fake tan, the fried, bleached hair and the dress are awful. She seems like a genuine, real woman, all that stuff makes her look fake and she clearly doesn’t need it.
i envy her arms
Truly frightening. Like a dried up piece of beef jerky.
a glam touch on that huge male arm would b an anchor tattoo,
or just stop workin like a wrestler!
I don’t like her, but she looks so pretty! Love the dress and shoes, thinks the weight looks good. She looked to harsh before in my opinion
She has harsh features. Not a fan of her body type either. Ugly arms and she looks alot older than she really is.
i love kelly but she is appearing a little too muscular, almost mannish here. she’s definately starting to take being fit and muscular over the top, and not in a good way.
oh yeah and i love love love the shoes!!
She works hard for her figure and I give her that. She looks good, but too muscular. Cute dress
I would love to have her body. So strong and athletic.
personally, i dont like this, i wud rather be a bit overweight than look like this, she doesnt look good in clothes, cos she cant fill them properly, 2 much muscle, no breats, hips or waist. no way!
Kelly Ripa is hott! I would not mind having her body
LOVE HER! The dress looks a bit like a tablecloth…I kinda like it, though. Maybe if she had a belt of a different color, it wouldn’t look so much like she stole it from my dining room table.
she looks like a little boy with a older woman’s face in a dress….
I do love Kelly, but I don’t love this look on her. I don’t even see a weight gain either, seems the same to me, maybe a little more muscular. I’m all for being fit and strong, but she’s taken it a bit too far imo. She is getting that manly look about her, not attractive. And she has to have like 5% body fat, if even. I feel bad for her cute husband, how sexy can she be naked when she looks like a little boy?
noassatal!!! looks like a man.. ewwwwwwwwwwwww
wow from the back she looks hottttt and aming…from the front …nsm…sorry kellll you are way prettier than this….just walk backwords i guess.
Your all just jealous. She is tiny, she doesn’t want implants, she really enjoys being fit and trim. As for the tatoo, she has said that she regrets that one. I think she looks and acts like a woman who is as paranoid about her body as we are and a busy mom who happens to be in front of the camera.
