Fox just announced that The X Factor USA would be ending after three seasons.

But former judge Kelly Rowland - who survived the dissolution of Destiny's Child - could not have looked happier as she attended Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York Friday.

Due to the competition's creator (and father-to-be) Simon Cowell's return to the UK and declining ratings, the network said in a statement: 'There is no X Factor USA without Simon.'

The R&B singer - who turns 33 next week - had a huge smile on her face as she debuted her new short bob haircut at the Cushnie Et Ochs spring runway show.

'I'm having such a lovely time attending this year's New York Fashion Week!' she tweeted to her 5.9 million followers.

The four-time Grammy winner - born Kelendria - looked fantastic in her turquoise hoop earrings, black velvet crop-top, maxi skirt, and bootie heels.

But will her BFF Beyoncé's two-year-old daughter Blue Ivy serve as flower girl at the upcoming nuptials?

'That's hilarious. I can't answer that question just yet,' Kelly told E! News.

'Whatever we do we just want it to be special and between he and I and just make it something that we both remember and just for us. It's our gift to ourselves.'

She has lovely, flawless skin. But those shoes were totally wrong for that outfit.

It's a miracle that it lasted for 3 seasons--testimony to Cowell's power with the television network heads.

Simon won't be gutted, he was going move to UK anyway. Enjoy because X Factor got a 3 year contract till 2016 (Y)

Well what a surprise....it's about time. Simon Cowell..Mr. Midas Touch (in his own mind) actually failed. The show was horrible. Let's hope Idol is on its way out too.

Too many sob stories and manufactured pop acts. It's demise was inevitable. On the plus side Kelly looks absolutely stunning.
