To say that Kamala Harris’ rallies are electrifying is an understatement. Just look at the impressive list of celebrities who have endorsed her in recent weeks—Leonardo DiCaprio, Kerry Washington, Bruce Springsteen, and now the Queen Bey herself—Beyonce.
Beyonce showed up hand-in-hand with former Destiny Child member Kelley Rowland on Oct. 25 to support Harris in their hometown of Houston.
Beyonce talked about how voting can create change for future generations:
“I am not here as a celebrity. I’m here as a mother. Your vote is your most valuable tool, and we need you. We all have a role to play to make this a reality. We are all part of something much bigger. We must vote. It’s time to sing a new song. Are y’all ready to add your voice to the new American song?”
Rowland delivered a heart felt call to action for Houstonians still on the fence to vote for Harris. Her tone was commanding, even presidential:
“(This is) a moment, Houston, where we grab back the pen of those who are trying to write an American story of division and hatred. . . We are grabbing back the pen from those who are trying to write an American story that would deny the right for women to make our own decision about our own bodies!”
But while Rowland was creating buzz in Texas, Black Twitter (X) was buzzing about what she was wearing. The “Motivation” singer appeared in an oversized, very masculine-looking suit by Fear of God, styled with an Amiri shirt and tie—a sharp contrast to Beyonce’s short hour-glass fitting dress.
“Who said Kelly Rowland was wearing a Steve Harvey suit last night?” one user joked.
“Kelly Rowland has been used as a prop for Beyoncé entire solo career,’ one user wrote on X. “Kelly should be tired of looking like a fool —but, apparently she’s not,” adding that Beyoncé was dressed “very demure, very cutesy, very feminine.”
The “fashion critics” continued the comments, but then the discussion ended up in a very weird place. Someone said colorism was behind Rowland’s fashion choice.
Huh??
