Boyfriend-girlfriend singing duo Alex and Sierra won the 2013 ‘The X Factor’ competition. Simon Cowell mentored them during their time on the show, and they released their debut album, “It’s About Us,” in October 2014.

For the season 3 finale of the show at CBS Television City, Kelly Rowland hit the gray carpet along with Demi Lovato, Leona Lewis, Simon Cowell, Paulina Rubio, and host Mario Lopez.

Kelly wore a crystal-embellished leather top and an asymmetrical gathered skirt by Balmain, paired with black diamond chandelier earrings and numerous diamond bracelets by Lorraine Schwartz and Ofira. Fashion critics criticized Kelly for overdressing.
Her standout dress is a stunning blend of leather and suede, featuring an embellished bodice and a dramatic high slit. The intricate embellishments include crystals, studs, and safety pins, adding a bold and edgy flair to her look.
Do you think Kelly should have toned down her outfit a little bit?

The then-32-year-old American singer, songwriter, actress, and television personality completed the outfit with a pair of Anthony Vaccarello “Abisko” sandals. These sandals feature narrow-toe straps, spike hardware at the front of the ankle straps, grommet accents at the back, and tonal-covered stiletto heels.
The only thing we dislike about it is her set of unsightly toes. Her open-toed Anthony Vaccarello sandals displayed some very visible corns! We wish Kelly just opted for closed-toe classic pumps. She has a “God’s Gift” tattoo on her foot.
