Kelly Rowland donned a bold black gown at FOX Golden Globes After-Party last night, yet still sparkled brightly.

The child of Destiny, whose new show Chasing Destiny premieres on BET in April, wowed as she arrived at the star-studded gala. She notably starred in FOX’s flagship drama ‘Empire’ last year for six episodes as the mother of Terrence Howard’s character Luscious Lyon.
