Kelly Rowland is a celebrity favorite overseas, and she’s ringing in the new year right with her first magazine cover of 2012. Marie Claire UK is donning a sexy Ms. Rowland in a watercolor inspired dress for their send off to the upcoming calendar year, and from what the cover snippet tells us, we’re all about to hear Kelly roar.

The Here I Am diva looks fresh and fun on the cover, but turns up the sultry, sexy Kelly vibes on the inner pictorial spread. She poses in her high fashion duds and shares her empowering words with readers– saying that she’s still learning more about what she likes, and what she doesn’t.

The start to the article shows off Kelly on all fours with a come hither stare, rocking a lovely combination of sheer, beads and feathers on a high end frock. It’s the send off to Kelly talking about all things female– including cellulite, stepping out on her own as an artist (and judging on the UK’s X Factor), and feeling sexy and free.
