This year’s ‘The X Factor’ competition was won by boyfriend-girlfriend singing duo Alex and Sierra. For the season 3 finale of the show at CBS Television City on Thursday, 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 were unanimous in criticizing Kelly for overdressing. Do you think Kelly should have toned down her outfit a little bit?

The 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. While this style is unfortunately not available online, you can browse clothing and shoes by Anthony Vaccarello at LuisaViaRoma and Yoox.

Just last month, we spotted Kelly at ‘The X Factor’ Finalists Party in Beverly Hills along with her fellow judges. She styled a pair of Gianvito Rossi PVC-and-suede pumps featuring black suede cap toes and 115 mm heels with ankle-tie wool-blend tailored trousers and a black crop top. The ensemble was accessorized with jewelry from Lorraine Schwartz and Jacquie Aiche.
