Kelly Rowland Just Mastered Winter Chic With the Ultimate Casual Look
When Kelly Rowland first became a mom in 2014, she got involved with Baby2Baby. The nonprofit provides basic necessities to children living in poverty in the U.S. Now a mother of two young boys, the former Destiny’s Child singer has continued to support Baby2Baby as an ambassador and volunteer. On December 3, Rowland stepped out with several A-list celebrities at the organization’s holiday event. She was the epitome of cozy holiday chic while helping fulfill the needs of local children.
Kelly Rowland wore a gray V-neck cashmere sweater and baggy blue jeans by FRAME, one of the Baby2Baby sponsors. The LA-based clothing brand is known for its denim and American craftsmanship — perfect for a sunny day volunteering in Southern California. Rowland layered two nearly choker-length necklaces over her sweater, adding diamond hoops and gold Gucci aviator sunglasses.
Arriving at LA’s BMO Stadium for the event, the “Dilemma” singer carried an oblique foldover clutch by Christian Dior and walked in black and white leather Prada sneakers. With Rowland’s chic bob and neutral makeup, the entire look was the perfect casual weekday ensemble.
Rowland is one of a growing list of celebrities involved in Baby2Baby. The nonprofit’s holiday event at BMO Stadium also hosted Kendrick Lamar, Demi Lovato, Olivia Wilde, and Ali Wong. Gathering with 500 underserved LA students, the group helped first through third graders pick out new toys and clothing. Santa Claus greeted everyone. The children also sledded on a hill of fake snow and kicked soccer balls on the BMO field.
“My heart is so full,” Rowland told Variety. “It’s our responsibility to make sure that they have smiles on their faces and they have the most basic essential needs.” The former X Factor judge recalled sleeping in her mom’s car at one point during her childhood. “I know what it feels like to not know if you’re going to get a Christmas.”
Now that Rowland is a mom, she and her husband only give two Christmas presents to each of their two sons. She admitted that she overdid it when they first had their oldest son, Titan Jewell, in 2014. She eventually reined in the Christmas presents to a healthier amount. “I was like, ‘We’ve got to settle down and not be raising privileged kids like that,'” Rowland explained. “Besides, after the fifth toy, they don’t really care.” In addition to Titan, age 10, Rowland and Tim Weatherspoon share his brother, Noah Jon, age 3.
Rowland also supports child and maternal care through the birthFund. The nonprofit helps families “receive the midwifery care they deserve,” as she shared on Instagram. Rowland had the “joy of providing midwifery care to a family at @sanantonionursemidwife, and now they’re joyfully welcoming twins into the world!” Rowland said her “heart is full” after donating her resources to birthFund to support “their vital mission to tackle the maternal health crisis.”
