Launching her new line of accessories in Las Vegas, Nevada, the singer said getting dolled up has been an important part of her process dealing with the loss of her husband.
The star said on Wednesday: 'It's to show me that I still have my power, my husband gave me so [many] tools for the rest of my life, he gave me the rest of himself, I have three kids, I'm a mother, I can never get better than that.'

The star said: 'What makes me most proud is to be a mother. I have three magnificent kids, that through them, I see my husband and I have the strength today to keep dressing up.'
