Kelly Clarkson, renowned for her versatile beauty looks, particularly her hair, has been a trendsetter since the 2000s. Known for her signature blonde, chunky highlights, Clarkson has experimented with various hairstyles throughout her career, all of which have been both stunning and memorable.
In 2006, she sported ear-length, curly, darker hair and also tried an edgy, honey-blonde bob. Over the recent years, her hair has been mostly long and wavy, with a blend of blonde and brown hues. However, she continues to surprise fans with new styles, such as the chic bangs she revealed in 2023.
One of her most striking looks was in 2007 when she attended a NASCAR event with an ultra-dark bob and emo bangs, reflecting the style of her music at that time. She was recording her third studio album, “My December,” which was a significant departure from her pop-oriented second album, “Breakaway.” “My December” leaned more towards rock and alternative music, with an accompanying gothic-romance aesthetic in its artwork.
Fast forward to 2023, Clarkson released her latest album, “Chemistry,” in June. She chose the title to encapsulate the full range of emotions explored in the album. “I was trying to find a word that really described the whole thing,” Clarkson explained. “I didn’t want everyone to think I was just coming out with some ‘I’m angry, I’m sad’ album. This album is the arc of an entire relationship. A whole relationship shouldn’t be just brought down to one thing. So there’s the good, the bad, and the ugly kinda thing going on. Chemistry can be a really amazing sexy, cool, fun thing, but it can also be very bad for you. That’s why I named it Chemistry. I thought it was the perfect title to describe the entire album.”
