Sounds like a fanfare of praise has been following Tina Knowles the last couple of days.
Just hours after Beyoncé gushed over her mother during her CFDA acceptance speech, Kelly Rowland dedicated her award to the fashion forward mama.
During a Women of Excellence Luncheon for her charity efforts, Kelly paid tribute to her late mother, Doris, and Tina, The Source reports.
Kelly reflected on her late mother, explaining, “She would always tell me, ‘Cross your legs, always look at people, be ladylike’ – I just feel she is here.”
She continued her speech, bringing up her second mom, “My other mommy, Tina, forced me to look in the mirror and say, ‘You look at that chocolate skin – so pretty,” Kelly told the crowd. “She taught me how glorious our skin is, ladies. Don’t dim your light for nobody.”

Poised and graceful Kerry Washington was once told she wasn’t “hood enough” for a role in a piloted series, Variety reports.
Wait, we remember her role in Save the Last Dance, where she was able to channel it then, so what happened?
The actress explains that before she played the role of Olivia Pope in the hit TV series Scandal, she went after two other roles.
“Before Scandal I was actually cast in two other pilots,” she explained. “Both went to series, but I was fired and recast. For both, it was because they wanted me to sound more ‘girlfriend,’ more like ‘hood,’ more ‘urban.’”
Well that was their loss because her new role in the political drama is much more fitting of her talent.

Looks like “Becky with the good hair” has some stage fright.
Rachel Roy reportedly grabbed her place card and left the CFDA Fashion Awards before Beyoncé walked through the room, Page Six reports.
As the gala began, attendees started buzzing that Beyoncé may be the Fashion Icon Award winner when Jay Z arrived.
That’s when sources claim Rachel bounced!
“She disappeared with her place card and never came back,” said a source. It was “weird. I don’t know if it was because she’s ‘Becky,’ or what?”
Well, that’s awkward.
