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.

Wearing a crystal-embellished leather top with 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.

The then-32-year-old American singer, songwriter, actress, and television personality completed the outfit with a pair of Anthony Vaccarello “Abisko” sandals featuring narrow toe straps, spike hardware at the front of the ankle straps, grommet accents at the back, and tonal covered stiletto heels.
