Kelly Rowland showcased her high-fashion style while promoting her first book, Whoa, Baby!, in New York City in April 2017.

The former Destiny’s Child member, now an author, teamed up with her longtime OB/GYN, Dr. Tristan Emily Bickman, to address the often-unspoken physical and emotional changes women experience after childbirth.

Stepping out at the AOL Build studios, Kelly made a stylish impression in a romantic floral mini dress from Fendi’s Spring 2017 collection.

Styled by Ade Samuel, her look was completed with a sleek chain-detail handbag and a pair of Fendi’s stretch-knit ankle boots—an early iteration of the now-iconic Rockoko style.

These sock boots helped cement Fendi’s influence on the trend in 2017, combining a structured boot silhouette with a flexible, logo-emblazoned knit upper that hugged the ankle like a second skin. With their bold FF branding and distinctive heels, they quickly became a street style favorite and remain one of the brand’s most recognizable footwear innovations.
