• Kelly Ripa and her husband Mark Consuelos walked the red carpet at the 2023 Oscars looking as strong and in love as ever.

• In photos shared on her Instagram feed, Kelly showed off her toned body (and super-muscular arms) in a sheer, sleeveless dress.

• This star loves dance-based cardio workouts with Anna Kaiser in New York City.

When you have a look you love, you want people to know about it — and it seems Kelly Ripa was really confident about her Oscar dress. The 52-year-old star dedicated two Instagram posts to her outfit, showing plenty of behind-the-scenes glimpses of her preparations.

In case you missed it, Kelly opted for a sheer black dress with beautiful black beading over black briefs and a black bra top. The dress was backless and the whole thing showed off just how toned she is. Her back, arms, booty, legs, abs… everything was super strong. Kelly definitely hasn’t been slacking on the workouts lately.

“Mom and dad attending the #Oscars, champagne carpets and caviar dreams🖤🖤,” she captioned a series of photos of herself with her husband Mark Consuelos. And of course, people went crazy in the comments. “You guys are so hot 🔥,” Brad Goreski wrote, while someone else chimed in with, “Can we take a moment to appreciate those arms 💪🏻💪🏻 #goals.”

Another video showed Kelly getting ready for her big night:

Of course, Kelly made it clear on her Instagram Stories that she’s working hard to get super strong. She shared videos of herself dancing with her longtime trainer Anna Kaiser and captioned it, “Last #workout before the Oscars,” noting that it was “minus an hour of sleep.”

The next video shows Kelly going wild in the dance studio, but she writes about how “an hour less really makes a difference.” Cut to the next shot of Anna and Kelly dancing on their knees, followed by a series of RTs from people talking about how toned Kelly is. I mean, yeah…

Anna has been guiding Kelly through high intensity dance-based interval training classes for years. The trainer previously said Women’s health that it’s a great combination. “The best thing about combining dance and HIIT is that you’re moving in multiple planes of motion and having fun,” she said. “You really have to focus on different types of muscle contractions and angles, not just pushing through exercises to feel a burn. If you keep doing the same moves over and over, you’re not going to get the full benefit.”

Kaiser also said WH that Kelly has “remained consistent” and added: “She is committed, it is something she does for herself.”

Kelly had previously shared that she follows an alkaline diet, which recommends foods that keep the body’s pH low and is ultimately similar to a vegan diet. “It’s changed my life… I swear, I think it’s responsible for me not being in pain,” she said on Live with Kelly and Ryan, per Good housekeeping.

Kelly also announced in 2020 that she had stopped drinking, per Yummy“They say Americans have been buying less wine in the last year. This is the first decline in a quarter century,” she joked on her show at the time. “I believe this decline was caused by me quitting drinking. I influenced the market.”

Keep it up, Kelly!
