Go Behind the Scenes of <i>Three Generations of R&B</i> With Mariah Carey, Kelly Rowland, and Ravyn Lenae

There are many moving parts when producing a video series—and when Mariah Carey, Kelly Rowland, and Ravyn Lenae are onscreen, top-tier amenities are a must. For Three Generations of R&B, ELLE’s newest video franchise, the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills served as the backdrop—an iconic location that practically screams Hollywood.

To start their day, Carey, Rowland, and Lenae each got ready for the candid conversation in separate rooms with their glam teams in tow. Bathed in natural light from expansive windows, Rowland stepped outside her suite to soak in the golden-hour glow of the Los Angeles sun. With ample space for hair, makeup, and styling crews, the hotel has become a go-to destination for Hollywood events and press junkets.

During breaks between shots, the talent had the option to unwind by the pool or dine at one of the property’s restaurants. From refined Italian cuisine at Culina to coastal Mexican flavors at La Ola, the Four Seasons offers something to satisfy even the pickiest of palates. For added convenience, poolside and in-room dining are also available.

Three Generations of R&B was filmed in one of the property’s stunning suites, complete with a baby grand piano that set the tone for the music-centered conversation. While the space is ideal for video and photo shoots, it’s equally well-suited to accommodate families.

After the conversation, the three powerhouses could unwind at the spa, offering indulgent treatments to relax after a long day. Options include the Diamond Luminous Anti-Ageing Facial or the De-Stress Surrender Massage.
