Do You Like Kelela’s Best Fashion Moments? LMK
Kelela traverses the worlds of Brooklyn’s edgiest up-and-coming designers and the runways of Europe’s highest fashion houses with ease. She’s currently one of the style world’s most sought-after front-row guests on both sides of the Atlantic, and it’s easy to see why. The Warp Records-signed musician can wear clothes from just about any house while still managing to remain true to her personal aesthetic. Often, that’s because she’s not afraid to bring in her own sensibility through her styling and beauty looks. She’ll match an all-white outfit with all-white eyelashes, or edge up a ladylike dress with a pair of black leather boots. Here, a look back at the Raven singer’s best red carpet and front-row moments.
