Kelly Rowland has fans singing her praises after she shared stunning images of what she wore for the Los Angeles premiere of “The Little Mermaid.” Rowland shared the photographs on Instagram in the early morning hours on May 9.

The premiere of “The Little Mermaid” starring Halle Bailey in the role of Ariel brought out the stars at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on May 8, including Rowland, who shared her thoughts about the film on social media following the event.

On May 9, the 42-year-old singer shared four images on Instagram that capture her in a floral multi-colored mermaid-style dress with hues of green, fuchsia, and blue. It featured a flowing two-piece cape that appeared to be attached to the bottom and neckline of the gown.

Rowland paired the dress with lavender high heels and captioned the post, “The Little Mermaid is truly AN EPIC WATCH!!! The music in this movie!! FREAKINGGGGGGGWOWWWWW!! You laugh, you cry, you sing along!! I know I’m gonna be singing these songs For weeks to come!!!!!!”

Fans were gushing over the former Destiny’s Child artist in the post’s comment section, noting how much they loved her mermaid look.

“Baby you ate this tf up wow to you,” wrote one Instagram fan.

“You should’ve been invited to the MET GALA you would’ve shut it down,” replied another fan.

“You look absolutely gorgeous Kelly,” noted one.

“You look stunning! I always look forward to your red carpet appearances because you get it perfectly EVERY time. Gorgeous!,” added another user.

“You look like a mermaid,” noted one.

Another wrote, “Vision of Love dahling!”

Fans are also raving about another post Rowland shared, this one dedicated to her and her husband Tim Weatherspoon‘s wedding anniversary. The post included several pictures of the couple together as well as video of them dancing with their children — 8-year-old Titan Weatherspoon and 2-year-old Noah Weatherspoon.

“Look at Us! 14yrs together, 9 married, 2, kids later,” the “Like This” singer wrote. “And I still and always will love me some you! Thank God we found each other! Happy Anniversary Baby!”

The couple married in 2014 during a private ceremony in Costa Rica.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
