Kehlani Bares Cleavage and Thighs in Bold Gown at the iHeart Awards
Kehlani lit up the stage at the 2026 iHeartRadio Music Awards on March 26, delivering a memorable performance of their hit song “Folded.” The California singer-songwriter performed at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, surrounded by dancers who mimicked folding clothes in a laundromat, creating a unique and eye-catching stage setup. The performance ended with a smooth dance routine as Kehlani closed out the song with their dancers.
For the show, Kehlani wore a red satin top with pink lace trim that highlighted their cleavage, paired with a flowing black skirt with a high slit that revealed their tattooed leg. They finished the look with black high-heeled sandals, giving the outfit a bold and edgy feel.
