Kelis made an appearance at the Belvedere RED Pre-Grammys Party in LA in a marigold mini dress, studded leather jacket, and Prada Fall 2011 Snakeskin Mary Jane Boots:
The $2,400 bi-color heels give the allusion of a snake print leg with a Mary Jane heel.
Kelis is a risk taker, so it’s no surprise to see her with them on. I love her dress and hair, but the boots are a no-go for me.
What do you think?

I wouldn’t necessarily call it a “fashion fail”… it’s Kelis, and it’s what she does. But I do love her dress + jacket and that hair!
Everything else is just too much.

Poor Nas this is what his spousal/child support is going to…..Kelis buying the worst boots the season had to offer.
February 10, 2012 10:21 pm
I love the Dress jacket and hair!!!! The color just works so well against her skin
February 10, 2012 10:37 pm
Besides the boots, she looks great. Claire its nice to see a post from you on Friday night :)
February 10, 2012 11:06 pm
Oh no. This outfit just had too much going on. You don’t what to focus on. The hair, the dress, the jacket, the boots…Choose one loud piece and let that be it. The shoes can be a go…if she wore it with a more neutral look in my opinion.
February 10, 2012 11:11 pm
I surprisingly like the entire look, minus that blonde streak. I think she did a great job pulling this outfit together.
February 11, 2012 12:14 am
I love kelis! And I like her hair wish I coulda got my hands on that jacket…the hair blogs don’t like her hair but the like her outfit and here its the other way around. Go figure…
February 11, 2012 12:24 am
Those boots look dumb as hell but I’m feelin the rest of her outfit…lfor some reason that chartreuse/ neon yellowish green color speaks to me :)
February 11, 2012 4:24 am
Prada would have to pay me 2,400 to wear them. It’s a fashion fail bc it looks bad but mostly bc she paid so much money. The rest of the outfit was dope.
February 11, 2012 8:00 am
I actually love this whole look. Kelis made it work.
February 11, 2012 8:03 am
Throw a lap shade on the top of those boots and it could be the modern-day version of the lamp from “A Christmas Story”. Not a fan of those boots at all!
February 11, 2012 8:52 am
It looks good on HIM.
February 11, 2012 10:20 am
Fashion fail all around for me. Those boots are not cute at all.
February 11, 2012 11:27 am
THIS IS WAY MORE THAN A FASHION FAIL!
February 11, 2012 11:28 am
THIS IS FASHION HELL!! YUCK!
February 11, 2012 11:54 am
Hmmm Kelis is so different, just different.
February 11, 2012 12:24 pm
the boots arent bad at all!… She just has too much going I think it’s the hair. She makes it work for her tho, no one else could do it.
February 11, 2012 1:34 pm
I wouldn’t call this a fashion fail. We know this is how Kelis wears her stuff. Minus the shoes the outfit is pretty good. If it were on Rihanna many of you stans would rave about her outfit.
February 11, 2012 1:49 pm
This lady is the inspiration behind a lot of artist’s style. Kudos, Kelis
February 11, 2012 6:28 pm
nope….i dont care if they are prada or not, it’s not a flattering boot to me, nothing from that season was that flattering to me, the boots, nor the shoes.
February 12, 2012 3:04 am
Awful. This is why I don’t get the comparison when people say Rihanna steals Kelis’ look because despite every questionable outfit Rihanna has ever worn, she has never looked quite this atrocious.
February 12, 2012 7:43 am
SHE IS THE BEST!!! ALL OTHERS ARE WANNABEES!!!! F**K RIHANNA SHES A COPYCAT!
February 12, 2012 7:44 am
SHE IS SO PRETTY & UNIQUE AND STYLISH AND <3
February 12, 2012 8:47 am
Kelis always looks a mess,her beauty is leaving her…..and death to those boots!
February 12, 2012 9:38 am
HMMMMMMMMM..SMHHARD
February 12, 2012 4:43 pm
Kelis always do that and that’ts the reason why everybody loves her. She takes risk…:)
February 12, 2012 11:59 pm
A mess…..
February 13, 2012 6:53 am
Loves me some Kelis..but some days i just get so tired of defending her SIGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
February 13, 2012 2:24 pm
awful
February 13, 2012 6:12 pm
It isn’t the boots alone that are bad, it’s that whole ensemble. I actually like a really flamboyant style, but she’s too old for it and looks desperate.
And that second photo of her looks straight outta Hookers at the Point.
February 13, 2012 6:18 pm
This is a cute look, very well put together… I love It!!!
February 13, 2012 9:08 pm
Ok. I have not seen much of anything that i loved about Kelis since the “bossy” video (my intro to her). Thought she would show more style, but she’s more creative with putting things together, rather than being a trend setter or stylish lady.
