Kelly Rowland Revives the Cone Bra with Chainmail Heels at Beyoncé’s ‘Renaissance’ World Premiere
Kelly Rowland put a disco-worthy spin on an iconic fashion silhouette while supporting Beyoncé at the world premiere of her new concert movie, “Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé.” The film, which documents the musician’s “Renaissance” world tour, debuts in theaters on Dec. 1.
Rowland arrived to the occasion in Beverly Hills on Saturday night in a pair of shimmering mules. The “Miss Kelly” musician’s set featured metallic silver uppers with thin stiletto heels and pointed soles, while disc-textured chainmail straps brought the pair a gleaming finish.
Rowland’s sleek style leaned into the current trend of embellished mules, which have grown in popularity following the return of high heels in the early 2020’s. Pairs in metallic and jewel-toned hues, complete with accents ranging from allover crystals to embossed textures, have been released from a wide range of brands in the fall and winter season — as seen in new collections from labels including JW Pei, Azazie and Gia Borghini.

The chainmail heels smoothly matched Rowland’s gleaming tiered dress for the occasion: a silver Jean Paul Gaultier number, styled by Kollin Carter. The former Destiny’s Child star’s sleeveless attire featured Gaultier’s signature cone-bra silhouette — a bodice with sculpted, pointed cups, most famously worn by Madonna. Her midi-length style, crafted from silver chainmail discs, was accented with diamond stud earrings, rings and bracelets for a bejeweled finish.
Rowland’s shoe style is sharp and streamlined. The “Dilemma” singer often wears pumps and sandals on the red carpet from top brands like Kurt Geiger, Christian Louboutin and Jimmy Choo. When off-duty, she can be spotted in slides, sandals and lace-up boots. Rowland’s casual looks also include sneakers from Nike, Air Jordan and Converse. The musician’s penchant for fashion goes beyond wearing stylish shoes, however; she’s previously designed apparel and footwear capsule collections for JustFab and Fabletics as well.
