It looks like Kimora Lee Simmons was having the time of her life at Usher’s Vegas residency after attending the show with Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian on Saturday night. The 46-year-old seemed pretty taken aback when Usher approached her midway through his performance, which clearly indicated she had no idea the spotlight was going to be put on her while Kim is heard giggling as she filmed the sweet moment between the two.
As you probably already know, Kimora appeared as Usher’s love interest in his music video for “Nice & Slow” back in 1998, which they filmed out in Paris, so it was quite a heartwarming reunion to see the pair together again. As Usher fed her a strawberry while singing to her with his shirt off, Kimora smiled her way through the set while Kim, being the supportive friend that she is, made sure to film the entire thing for social media.

Judging by Kim’s Instagram Story, the Skims founder, Khloe, and Kimora had the time of their life, singing along to songs, including “There Goes My Baby” before being joined by LA Reid as they danced to Usher’s “Confessions Pt. 2.” Kim was also in attendance at Usher’s Vegas residency last week when she showed up with her hairstylist Chris Appleton.
Simmons’ contribution to the ‘Nice and Slow’ video was significant for several reasons. First and foremost, she brought a fresh perspective to the music video industry, which was dominated by male directors and choreographers. As a woman of color with a background in fashion, she was able to inject a sense of elegance and sophistication into the video that set it apart from other R&B videos of the time.
In the 1990s, R&B music videos were becoming increasingly popular as a way for artists to showcase their songs and connect with their fans. This was the era of MTV and BET, when music videos were as important as the songs themselves and could make or break an artist’s career.

R&B music videos of the 90s were known for their glamorous settings, provocative choreography, and stylish fashion. Artists like Janet Jackson, TLC, and Aaliyah set the bar high with their innovative videos that pushed the boundaries of what was considered acceptable on television. These videos were not only entertaining but also aspirational, offering viewers a glimpse into a world of luxury and glamour that they could only dream of.
One of the most memorable aspects of the ‘Nice and Slow’ video is the fashion. Kimora Lee Simmons’ background in fashion is evident in the way she styled Usher and the models in the video. Each outfit is carefully curated to reflect the mood and tone of the music, from the leather jacket in the opening scene to the silk robe in the closing scene.
