Beyonce’s cowboy era has rubbed off on her mother Tina Knowles.
The 70-year-old took inspiration from her daughter with her wardrobe choice to co-host the Exhibition Reception for artist J. Christopher on Saturday.
Tina was joined by her “baby” Kelly Rowland, 43, and looked gorgeous in a black denim jumpsuit that highlighted her trim waist and svelte physique.
In true Beyonce style, Tina added calf-length cowboy boots and a black cowboy hat as she posed for photos inside the venue.
Kelly, meanwhile, rocked a sporty black co-ord that consisted of an oversized shirt and matching knee-length shorts emblazoned with colorful floral details.
Sharing several posts on Instagram on Monday, Tina and Kelly appeared to have a blast at the reception.
One photo of the duo posing with J. Christopher was captioned: “Hung out with my baby @kellyrowland tonight at the Art tonight.”

Tina and Kelly have an extremely close relationship after the singer formed a friendship with Beyonce when they were just nine years old.

Kelly moved in with Beyonce and her family when she was 11 and was raised by Tina, who describes Kelly as one of her daughters.

“Kelly, I know without a doubt that you were a true gift from God,” she wrote for Time Magazine. “You came to live with us when you were only 11 years old. You were the sweetest, most kind person I had ever met, and you still are.”

She added: “You have the best listening skills and are a loyal friend to many. I’ve seen you take the jewelry off of your arm and give it to someone because you wanted to make them feel good.”

“I grew up with Beyonce, her sister Solange, her mother Tina and her eldest cousin Angie,” Kelly told Marie Claire in 2019.

She added: “She introduced me to artists, lawyers and doctors and made me feel like I could literally do anything.”
