Alicia Keys Wows in JPG Denim With Michelle Obama at ‘Hell’s Kitchen’

Alicia Keys channeled her early 2000s era wearing Jean Paul Gaultier on Saturday in New York at the opening night of “Hell’s Kitchen,” her new musical on Broadway at The Shubert Theater.

For the special occasion, Keys wore the brand’s cropped conical denim jacket, which featured an indigo blue color, contrasting lingerie topstitched details. The look was a nod to the denim-on-denim looks she used to frequently wear in the earlier years of her career.

Also donning a matching pair of tapered jeans that flared out slightly towards the bottom, the style was rounded out by a sleek pair of black pointed-toe pumps. The artist further styled her all-denim look in a loose wavy hairstyle that was pulled away from her face. She kept makeup light, wearing dewy foundation, purple eyeshadow and clear lip gloss.

“Hell’s Kitchen” is a jukebox musical, with a book by Kristoffer Diaz and music and lyrics by Alicia Keys. The show is semi-autobiographical, telling the story of Keys’ upbringing in Manhattan in the 1990s. First debuting in November 2023 and wrapping up its first run at The Public Theater in mid-January, the show is now back for a second run on Broadway, with the original principal cast reprising their roles.

To further celebrate the achievement, Keys was joined by friends and family, including her mother, Terria Joseph, husband Swizz Beatz and their son Egypt Daoud. Other notable guests included Michelle Obama, Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King. The former first lady elected to wear an all-black jumpsuit with black pointed-toe platform shoes for the event, highlighting her look with a sleek bun. Winfrey and King went neutral, with Winfrey wearing an off-white sweater that had fringe cuffs and matching dress pants. As for King, the journalist chose a white belted jumpsuit, which was finished by a gold strappy pair of pointed-toe pumps.

In addition to her evolving Broadway show, the multi-hypenate is also currently tending to her Keys Soulcare line, which continues to expand its product offerings on a regular basis. In January, the brand launched its Deeply Replenishing Squalane Facial Oil ($35) — a non-comedogenic formula aimed with the goal of plumping and firming the skin that Keys sought to create as a suitable product for those with acne-prone complexions after her own experiences with the condition.
