The former "American Idol" champ recently turned 30, and while she's always denied dieting or curtailing her eating to please critics, she's noticeably fitter and trimmer than she's been in months.
"I'm never trying to lose weight -- or gain it," she told Self in 2009. "I'm just being."
And she's doing a fine job of it.
As for why she was at the ABC soiree, Clarkson is promoting "Duets," a new reality singing show that pairs aspiring singers with resident superstars. Joining Clarkson on the show -- set to premiere May 24 -- are Robin Thicke, Lionel Richie and Jennifer Nettles.
