Kelis is on the Anniversary cover of Trace magazine. Obviously she took these pre-blonecut but, she looks hot regardless.
Much love to Patryk from UlimateKelis for sending me these scans! You can visit the fansite to view the article…


Kelis is a FAB chick. She’s like the “Black” version of Gwen Stefani. She doesn’t give a sh*t! She does not confirm to what people thing women should be in that business, and does WHATEVER, WHENEVER she feels like doing it. That’s how it should be. LOVES IT!
First!
kelis looks sexy on this cover
^^^OOOH SH*T FIRST!!!
Aw hater! lol. She looks good though. Old Glamour…Black is beautiful!
^^^”She does not confirm to what people thing women should be in that business”.
OOPS.. I meant she does not CONFORM to what people THINK women should be in that business.
@ #5 SOSAD…
LMAO..Oh yeah SORRY SOSAD! I meant to get on you about that too! LOL! FIIIRRRSSST! LOL
KELIS IS MY FAVORITE ARTIST OF ALL TIME…I MEAN EVERYTHING ABOUT HER SCREAMS CREATIVITY..SHE’S THE REASON ALL THESE FEMALES RUNNING AROUND CLAIMING THEY “BOSSY” AND NOT ONLY THAT BUT EVERYTHING SHE DO IS TRENDSETTING AND ORIGINAL..NOT TO MENTION SHE TURNED A THUG INTO A HUSBAND..SHE’S DEFINITELY A ROLE MODEL IN MY EYES..ROCK ON KELIS
“TIL THE WHEELS FALL OFF”
the other two pics of Kelis look good, the cover looks like she has a mustache.
Im not wowed by her like I usually am. Love the jacket though.

KELIS IS A BAD FEMALE! She plays by her own rules! Mad love for you!
Co-sign with Janea. Kelis beats to her own horn and she could care less about folks wanting to put her music in some type of category. I heard she laugh when she got a Grammy nomination for best contemporary R&B album. “Kelis was here” is NOT R&B. “Bossy” and “What’s that right there” are like the only ‘R&B’ songs on that record.
#12 so Goodbyes and Lil Star are what ? Rock , Pop ?
Anyway, i’m happy she got nominated for something, she’s always overlooked because her sound is so different from the other black females .
Great cover!
She’s got an exotic face. Pretty and natural. Love the short hair. Not all women need long hair to be attractive and sexy. She exudes confidence!
shes gorgeous and all but her arm looks kind of crazy on the cover shot…it kind of looks like a bended knee…
but whatever shes still gorgeous.lol
Kelis looks good! her next album should be just pictures
cause she sound thirsty in her songs
Kelis is a true artist. She does her damn thang for real! She must be a happy soul.
I would say something wild, but out of respect for Nas i’ll leave it alone.
Females of CL, some avatar ass shots would not hurt, i mean think about it.
Crazy Kelis looks nice , I hope that she goes back black soon, because she looks like cruella deville with that blond.
YEAH THIS LOOK IS SOOO MUCH BETTER THAN WHAT SHE IS ROCKIN NOW…
this is old. ciara’s on the new cover
I feel like I’ve seen these pics before
I don’t these at all.
Sorry, I don’t like these pics at all.
She is very beautiful I don’t know even though some of the shit she do is off the wall but she the only I see who could that.
Luv her!!!!
love that military jacket. kelis is dope.
KELIS IS GORGEOUS! SHE IS A TREND SETTER, HALF THE CHICKS FROM MY WAY GOT THEIR BOSSY HAIR CUT AFTER HER! THAT’S AMAZING I LOVE HER SHE’S SO DIFFERENT!
I’m not wowed this time either
Meh. I STILL miss the curly hair!
Hate them.
Loving that simplicity and class she showing. Kelis sets trends, and she is original. Nas should be one happy man.
Love Kelis, but the cover shot exposes too much NOSTRIL.
I love Ms Kelis. I don’t know what yall mean by saying she does stuff that’s so off the wall or different but ok. She’s beautiful and I wanna do her face.
Damn! Kellis has it all, its no wonder she’s tattoed on his arm…she looks hot n sexy…u go gal!
Not a fan of her music, but she is very beautiful.
KELIS…YES BOO…KEEP DOIN YA THANG…HOT CHIK!
I LOVE KELIS!U GO GUUURRRRL!!!
theres something about kelis.
i like kelis soo much, go girl!
OVERRATED!! She can be preety at times but this isn’t one of them. This is a good case of if she didn’t have money would she be preety. and the answer is?
NO!
OVERRATED!! She can be preety at times but this isn’t one of them. This is a good case of if she didn’t have money would she be pretty. and the answer is?
NO!
Sorry people..but to me she’s a boss!!!! She marches to her own beat!!! Can’t hate!!!
Kelis looks nice…
Love,Peace,&&Honeyy
I HAVE YET TO SEE THE BIG DEAL WITH HER. SHE CAN’T SING AND IS AVERAGE LOOKING TO ME. BUT HEY IF THERE’S A MARKET FOR HER MORE POWER TO HER I HOPE SHE MAKES ALL THE MONEY THAT SHE CAN.
boring
kelis is that girl. i absolutely love her. she is so original. i am so happy that nas realized that and i hope they last forever and make beautiful kids.btw, the pics are flawless-she doesn’t need makeup to look pretty.
Damn I mean I know this mag says 10 year aniversary, but these pictures look like they were shot 10 years ago. I like Kelis and all, but I’m not feeling this one..just my humble opinion.
I agree with #40…Kelis isnt a natural beauty, sometimes she just doesnt look that great in pics…I mean she’s pretty but if she was a average chick on the street doing average things, she wouldnt be all that…she really needs the hair makeup and clothes.
but of course she isnt average…she is very creative and edgy….I’m not a big fan of her music…but she’s mad cool and gets props for her style.
I feel as though these pics are not recent. I am not going to bother to verify that info either (perhaps December issue or launch event). Kelis is interesting- I have been getting down with her since way back when she had pink hair (I hate you and you and you so much right now). While I respect her as an artist and creative contemporary, I am not quite certain when people collectively decided she should be dubbed a style authority. I am also not sure she is totally deserving of that title.
We are all allotted a certain amount of mistakes when it comes to our personal style- especially as we (r)evolve and try new things. Alas, Kelis has had more than her share of mistakes. I also have just seen her looking an absolute M-E-S-S. The jury is still out on this one.
@44
She’s original, her music is well written (when she’s with the Neptunes) and all her albums have been good.
And you really cannot hate on her at all, cause she hasn’t sold that many records and no one is really going crazy over her, Kelis still does her thing and gets respect from people who like originality and good music that isn’t nothing but the same ol’ sh!t on the radio.
Why is it that this woman can get 50 magazine covers and interviews, yet not sell any damn records?
I mean love Kelis…but her best thing she’s done was her Edge commercial…not her CD….
not too fond of the cover shut, but overall i think the short black hair looks a hell of a lot better than both the long curls and the new blonde look. definately needs to go back to that. btw, big kelis fan. ciao
WELL IM NOT FEELIN DA LAST PIC..BUT OTHER THAN THAT,.. I LOVE KELIS. SHE’Z UNIQUE AND HAS A SEXY STYLE. BEIN DIFFERENT AND HAVIN A UNIQUE LOOK, IZ SEXY. GO GIRL
Still cant understand why the folx here @ CL are so on the Kelis bandwagon. Shes not cute, the only look that suited(IMO) her was the longer haired softer look, and aside from her hits, her music sucks… And I hated Bossy so…
Somebody please help me understand…
I like her and her music yes its true she sells more records overseas than here but that just shows u that a lot of people dont wanna listen to something unless it sounds just like everybody else….
I like these pictures. She looks so real and natural; not all painted up and airbrushed like they usually do artists. Good Job K!
At least this picture looks alot better than that vibe vixen cover.
she looks so pretty
kelis don’t give a beep that’s a bad chick there lol
I LOVE KELIS!!!!!!!! She is so cutting edge, unique, fashion forward, and so dayum bossy…she really don’t give a F*CK, and I respect that about her….good luck at the Grammy’s ma…..YOUR CD WAS 10 TIMES BETTER THAN THA BEYONCE ISH…
