If there’s one person we’ve been seeing a lot of lately, I would definitely say it’d be Kelly Rowland. The beloved DC3 member and avid fashionista has been on our radar for YEARS, but lately, her style game has elevated even more; so much so, we had to take a look at her style evolution over the years!
Now with Kelly, she’s always been stylish. Even back in her Destiny’s Child days, we saw Kelly rocking designer threads and something to accentuate her curves and awesome bod!
However, with time comes evolution, and we’ve definitely seen Kelly’s. On the red carpet, her style aesthetic is one of super well-tailored gowns, jumpsuits and covered-up clothing that still evokes the sexiness and playfulness she’s always exuded. Out and about, her looks still are polished and well put together. She just doesn’t give off days!Laquan Smith, Rhea Costa, Victoria Beckham, Diane Von Furstenberg, Marc by Marc Jacobs, and many more hot designers are but a few of the fabulous name brands in her closet. Trendy yet always pushing the envelopes of what’s in, Kelly’s really blossomed into a fashion frontrunner and definitely one we all look for when we’re on the scene!
Let’s take a closer look at her style evolution over the years through our curated gallery. Let us know! What do you think of Kelly Rowland’s style evolution over the years?
I’m a fan of all the colors (check them out in the gallery above), but my heart flutters for the Matte Lip Glosses that are super affordable at $6 each!
The matte lips come in a cool nude tone beige, a deep warm yellow brown, and a bomb deep wine color called Rooch.
See Karrueche model them below:
Hot!

Spring is upon us and it’s time to start the search for those BOMB heels. After talking it over with the FBD fam, we figured it was time to feature some of our favorite styles for this upcoming season!
Looking to add a pop of color to your outfit? Well, look no further – these red lace-up numbers are ideal for injecting a bit of pizzazz to the simplest of ensembles. Get these lovelies at Mango.com.
First off, who doesn’t love polka dots?! When I first laid eyes on these B&W gems, I knew they’d be great for spring. (And, their versatility is everything.) You can literally rock these for a daytime look with a pair of distressed denim and, then, pair them with a cute LBD for some nighttime fun! Cop ’em here.
Lace-ups are everywhere! And, their sultry appeal instantly dresses up any look. Take this orange hue for instance – it oozes a playful springtime vibe (versus an all-black pair). ASOS.com always has what’s hot! Get these here.
In an effort to pay homage to the lovely Solange, I added these babies to the haute list! I know, I know – everyone isn’t a fan of mules but, with fashion it-girls like Shiona Turini and Kahlana Barfield rocking them, they’re worth a try! Pair these with flowy culottes or even a printed midi dress. Get yours here.
If heeled sandals aren’t your cup of tea, try a pair of metallic pointed pumps! They’re a classic alternative to the trendy styles. You can also play with the heel height, based on your personal preference.
So, what do you think?

Every once in a while, we get a bomb blogger or duo who want to also be featured for Fashion Bombshell of the Day, so of course we have to show the whole family love! Today we’ve got a submission from Michelle on her daughter, Mori from Glenside, Pennsylvania:
She says, “My name is Michelle and you’re looking at the face of “That Black Chic” Mori.” We are a mother-daughter blogging team hailing from right outside the City of Brotherly love.”
“I make the clothes and Mori wears the clothes, that’s how we roll.”
“Mori is not locked into one particular style and is willing to try anything once, it also doesn’t hurt that her Momma usually buys her new shoes for the outfits that I make and use on the blog.”
“I am a fabric mix-ologist and big bold in your face prints are what we like to showcase on the blog.”
“We are usually on the same vibe when it comes to fashion and I don’t think she’ll ever be too old to call me and get my opinion on an outfit.”
“Clothing is art and I am a artist sharing my craft with the help of my daughter.”
“Thanks for the consideration!”
Wow! I dig your looks, especially that printed matching suit. Chic! Stay up to date with Mori and Michell on IG: ThatBlackchic and their site, www.thatblackchic.com. What do you guys think of Mori’s style?

Wigs were on the menu for Balmain’s Fall 2016 collection with supermodels including Lineisy Monteiro, Ysaunny Brito, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Alessandra Ambrosio swapping their coveted hair colors and lengths in real-time for opposite shades. Naturally, the iconic French fashion house’s smoldering fashion was also present with lace mini dresses cinched at the waist, skintight skinny trousers, sheer mesh stripes, and cleverly-placed cutouts in abundance—anchored with come-hither thigh-high boots and modern takes on the buckle-accented loafer.
Olivier Rousteing loves a good ruffle—so do his legion of fans all over the globe and fashion at large quite honestly. He spread the dainty detail across high-neck blouses for a Victorian feel, sheer lace midi dresses for that quintessential Balmain sexiness, the top of a corseted dress for a modern take on boning, and a white lace jumpsuit that was a bit of 70’s and a lot to take in.
Fringe moved down the catwalk on a black long-sleeve gown on Ming Xi that would’ve been a dream on the Oscars red carpet, a flirty white mini dress that will surely be worn by a bride-to-be at one of her many pre-wedding festivities, a cold-shoulder top that could give life to even the most pared-down jeans and shoes, and a stunner on Gigi that screamed “Cannes”.
Texture was introduced on thigh-baring mini skirts in both fur and feathers, while a cozy cutout topper made the case for wearability.
And color play was a point of focus, with Rousteing showing vignettes grouped by hue or lack thereof. Morticia Addams would’ve been impressed with the range of all-black ensembles. She wasn’t much for functionality, but we fashion girls can appreciate the appearance of black tights as anchors.
Baby blue wasn’t decidedly Fall, but it felt fresh with suede lace-up mini skirts, a stripe suit, one of the brand’s signature mesh and fringe beauts, and a zip-front dress in a romantic brocade.
And pink was just as frilly and girly as most associate with the shade. Ruffles, lace, cutouts, form-fitting silhouettes: some of the most powerful and unabashedly sultry getups in the whole collection.
A Fall collection wouldn’t be complete without outerwear. The coats and jackets shown were strong and surprisingly wearable: waist-cinching belts not required, though they will certainly accentuate your figure.
This was the trademark Balmain way that Rousteing has forged since his time at the brand: strength, jaw-dropping details, an attention to form, and sky-high luxury. We’re pretty sure the Kardashians are already figuring out what they want from the assortment: especially as Kanye West and Kris Jenner sat front row. Get ready to see these looks on the red carpet in 3…2…1…
Kelly Rowland was spotted at the Fall 2016 Balmain presentation! The songstress/actress slayed in a Suede Chocolate Long Sleeve Mini Dress from the brand’s Spring 2016 collection. The beauty also paired her look with matching lace-up booties and neutral makeup.
Jourdan Dunn modeled the ‘fit on the runway with colorful heels.
She looks great!

Could the future of New York Fashion Week be in serious trouble?
Well, according to the CFDA (The Council of Fashion Designers of America), some vital changes are going to be made to one of the busiest times of year.
We all knew something was up when the Council posted this cryptic message on their Instagram earlier this morning…
And, (of course) people made judgments and spilled their own grand ideas regarding the future of New York Fashion Week.
As followers anxiously awaited, the CFDA soon released the official statement below:
“In recent years, evolutions in technology, consumer behaviors and needs, weather and physical seasons, and retail have challenged the role and impact of the current Fashion System:
As the organization representing American designers and the organizer of the official New York Fashion Week schedule, it is CFDA’s responsibility to evaluate the purpose of New York Fashion Week. The intent of the CFDA study undertaken with The Boston Consulting Group in January was to question the status quo for our market, stimulate a dialogue in the American fashion industry and, and move towards long-term solutions together.
The unanimous consensus among our interviewees: the time is ripe for change in our market. ‘In-season relevancy’ emerged as a recurring idea. Beyond fashion shows, the delivery cycle and subsequent markdown cadence at retail emerged as a critical issue that needs to be addressed in our market to better match the actual, physical season and our consumers’ behaviors and needs.”
Although I attended for the first time for the Fall 2016 presentations, I can really understand the question of in-season relevancy. In addition, I’ve also heard a few fashion insiders previously address the need for change.
I kinda think NYFW is passé. Why go through all the hubbub when you can watch everything online? Of course the shows are fun, but nothing more than postering and primping (and a time for celebrities to get their shine).
