Alicia Keys Slays a Leather Look For Intimate Performance
In an Instagram post shared today, on July 6, Keys shared a carousel that documented her most recent performance at the Montreux Jazz Festival with British singer-songwriter RAYE.
For the occasion, the “If I Ain’t Got You” hitmaker wowed in a leather red/brown crop top with silver circular studs and a belt.
She teamed the ensemble with a matching high-waisted skirt with a thigh-high slit and completed the look with heels.
Keys tied her long, dark hair up and accessorized with large hoop earrings and a black watch.
In the first slide, the award-winning star was captured from head to toe in front of a balcony backdrop, where she rested both of her hands on the gate. Keys gazed directly at the camera lens with a fierce gaze and boasted her natural beauty.
In the following slide, Keys appeared to kneel on stage with RAYE to perform her song “Oscar Winning Tears.”
In other bits of content, Keys appeared in more pics and clips with RAYE and some other solo shots. In her caption, she wrote: “We performed at the iconic @montreuxjazzfestival on the very same night Nina Simone performed there 50 years ago.”
Praising RAYE and the audience, she added: “There was magic in the air!!! My sis @raye absolutely slayed!! You all welcomed me with open arms. The love is unreal!!”
