   Kesha makes first red carpet appearance since completing rehab program, looks stunning

Kesha, or the artist formerly known as Ke$ha, did not start the year on a very high note, as she checked into rehab for eating disorders and emotional issues in the first days of January. However, now that she’s completed her program and is back to excellent health, she’s ready to get back into the swing of things.

The pop star is now working on a new music album, after promising fans she would make it up to them for the time she’s spent away. Meanwhile, she continues the good work she’s always done with various charities.

Above is a photo of Kesha on the red carpet at a gala for the Humane Society, which was held over the weekend at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills. It is officially the first public appearance since she completed the 60-day program in rehab, and Kesha made sure she made for a memorable presence on the red carpet.

Kesha’s red carpet style until just recently was a mixture of glam-punk with casual, but it seems that she’s grown up a lot since she was last seen. For this particular event, she opted for full glamour in a long, sparkly, black gown with see-through panels.

The rich skirt of the dress hid the fact that it was entirely see-through and that she was wearing grandma panties underneath, as many other celebrities have done on the red carpet in the past few months – a trend that fashionistas worldwide can’t wait to die down already.

Kesha styled her blonde hair, with just a touch of green on the side, a leftover from a rainbow dye-job she got, in loose curls and a dramatic side parting, and opted for natural-looking makeup. She accessorized with plenty of chunky rings and her trademark gold tooth.

As noted above, Kesha sought help for eating disorders she had developed as a result of pressure from the industry to always look “perfect.” Her mother joined her in rehab just one day after she checked in, for stress and depression but, while her famous daughter was getting help, she spoke often to the media to reveal the causes of her problems.

According to Kesha’s mother, Kesha’s manager and her producer were at the root of all her problems, often taunting her by calling her fat (“fat as a fridge”) and telling her she must get skinny or consider another line of work.

Kesha never addressed her mother’s allegations directly, but she did confirm to her fans that she was in a desperate need to get healthy. It seems that she’s been successful at it.
