Kelly Rowland adds a cool pop of red to her look for the premiere of Bad Hair during 2020 Sundance Film Festival at The Ray on Thursday night (January 23) in Park City, Utah.
The 38-year-old singer and actress stars in the new film opposite James Van Der Beek, Michelle Hurd, Jay Pharoah, Elle Lorraine, Ashley Blaine and more for the event, which shines a light on black hair.
During an interview with Variety, Kelly opened up about a moment she shared with her son, Titan, that relates to the flick.
“I come downstairs and my son’s like, ‘Mommy, I really love your hair.’ And I said, ‘Thank you baby.’ And it was just interesting… because I think it was his first time seeing me receive like, you know, my natural hair.”
She added, “It’s beautiful and it looks effortless and that’s what we wanted… It made it look easy, and I think that for so long we were told as black women, ‘Well, I don’t know what to do with that,’ or ‘This is hard.’ It’s always a scrunched face or a complaint when it comes to taking care of our natural hair and this was a new easy solution.”
Bad Hair centers on an ambitious young woman, who in 1989, gets a weave in order to succeed in the image-obsessed world of music television. However, her flourishing career may come at a great cost when she realizes that her new hair may have a mind of its own.
FYI: James wore a Falconeri sweater.
