Kelly Clarkson took the stage at the 12th annual NFL Honors tonight in Phoenix, Ariz. paying tribute to her favorite football team, the Dallas Cowboys.
The host of the night wore a football jersey-inspired dress in gray, and white and blue fabric, per the team’s colors, featuring boxy shoulder padding and a maxi-length skirt.
Key details on the dress included the Cowboy’s lone-star insignia with the names of members of the current team running down the front of the skirt including running back Ezekiel Elliott, quarterback Dak Prescott and wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, among a whole slew of others. Beyond the skirt was a long train that trailed behind Clarkson as she traversed the stage.
Another key detail was a sparkling silver 88 plastered on the bodice and sleeves which belonged to iconic Cowboys wide receiver Drew Pearson. Pearson was the first Cowboys wide receiver to make the #88 famous. Pearson, who was recently inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, played for the Cowboys from 1973-1983. The outfit made clear that Clarkson is a lover of all things fashion and of the all-star Texan team.

This was Clarkson’s second look of the night. Before the ceremony, she stepped on the red carpet wearing a tracksuit-inspired velvet gown by Adidas x Gucci.
Although they weren’t visible in any of the images, the “Stronger” artist often wears ankle and combat boots with block or stiletto heels from top brands like Saint Laurent, Christian Louboutin and R13.
