When I think of Kelis, I think of her first single, Milkshake. I’ve forgotten the year when the song came out, but I can still remember the beat and the outfit she wore in the video.
It was a far cry from the look she pulled in London a few days ago, when the singer performed at Victoria Park during Day 3 of the Lovebox Festival. Kelis Rogers was quite a spectacle in her bright pink floor-length frock and large feathery cape.

What an interesting get-up, right?
Now this is one of those rare situations wherein the add-on (or more specifically, the feathered cape) was totally unnecessary. Normally we would say a scarf, cape, wrap, or kimono, is a nice way to dress up a look. But in Kelis’ case, it was pure overkill. Feel free to give us a violent reaction if you don’t agree.
That said, if she really wanted a topper to go with her bright pink dress, a simple one in a solid hue or something more classic and not nearly as flashy would have been more appropriate. A good example would be a blue version of the Saint Laurent cape Angelina Jolie wore last April.
