Never before have I seen an outfit that gave me an overwhelming urge to blog about it straight away, but this week Kelly Rowland has managed to make me do just that! I've never been Kelly's biggest fan, even less so since starting on the X Factor and letting Misha B and Janet Devlin through (both of whom I despise).
We were told to anticipate amazing outfits between Kelly and her co judge Tulisa Contostavlos but whilst their outfits have been nice enough, they've not exactly had that draw dropping awe about them like those of Cheryl and Dannii. Who could forget Cheryl starting off the David Koma craze, or Danni in her stunning Ralph & Russo dresses and ever changing hair styles. We were more fixated on the outfits than the acts back then.
So far this year we have had Tulisa wearing green wrapping paper, that awful DKNY jumpsuit, the mystery of Kelly's moving mole and the ridiculous yellow lace crop top ensemble (although I am ridiculously envious of her abs!). This week Kelly more than pulled it out of the bag with her androgynous outfit.
She seemed to gain immediate notoriety on social networking sites Twitter and Facebook, with comments such as 'Has Kelly Rowland ram-raided Harry Hill's dressing room?' and 'Kelly Rowland looks like Count Blackula' but I mean, hello, ever heard of Vogue guys? Whilst the suit, with it's high neckline was very masculine (Kelly even joked on The Xtra Factor that she had stolen it from Gary's dressing room) she added some of her usual feminine sex appeal with some tapered trousers and patent court heels.
At first I wasn't quite sure, after all the headlines the show had grabbed it seemed her outfit was more than just a good wardrobe choice, it was her making a point (after all the bad press this last week saying she was leaving/being sacked/faking her illness) that Kelly Rowland is in fact here to stay.
