The look was the work of Matthew Jeanpierre, whose client list also includes Lizzo. <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"heading larva \/\/   lrv-a-font-primary-xl lrv-u-font-weight-bold u-font-size-26@desktop-xl u-font-size-22 u-font-size-20@mobile-max   \">\n\t\tKelly Rowland \t<\/h3>\n<div class=\"post-content-image \/\/  \">\n<figure class=\"o-figure   size-large alignnone lrv-u-max-width-100p\" style=\"width:100%; max-width:679px;\">\n<div class=\"c-lazy-image  \">\n<div class=\"lrv-a-crop-16x9\" style=\"padding-bottom:calc((1018\/679)*100%);\">\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/wwd.com\/wp-content\/themes\/vip\/pmc-wwd-2021\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.gif\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/wwd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/GettyImages-2283786351-edited.jpg?w=200\" alt=\"LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 28: Kelly Rowland poses in the 2026 BET Awards Press Room at Peacock Theater on June 28, 2026 in Los Angeles, California.
