When it comes to fashion risk-takers, Solange Knowles is undeniably an icon. The singer and trendsetter takes an avant-garde approach to dressing that we can’t get enough of. From edgy monochrome leather looks to ethereal bohemian vibes, Solange always keeps us on our toes. We’re breaking down some of her major fashion moments that have us absolutely swooning.
The Metallic Suit
At the Vogue Fashion Fund Awards, Solange stunned in a sleek silver satin suit that oozed glamour. The slouchy yet tailored blazer and wide-leg pants created a chic, monochromatic moment. We love how she made the lustrous set feel modern by pairing it with minimalist black sandals. Mixing metallics with casual pieces is an instant win when recreating this style moment.

The Puffer Coat
Solange took drama to new heights at the Met Gala in this oversized black puffer coat by Thom Browne. The vinyl-like material and exaggerated quilted shape made for an eye-catching, avant-garde look while the distinctive block heel oxfords elevated the look (quite literally!). Leave it to Solange to take something as simple as an outerwear piece and turn it into a major fashion statement. A fabulous oversized puffer (bonus points for unexpected textures or colors) is an easy way to channel her fearlessness.

The Yellow Gaultier Gown
Radiant in yellow, Solange donned this Jean Paul Gaultier showstopper featuring a daring thigh-high slit and structured shoulders. She amped it up even more with strappy sandals and elbow-length satin gloves. To get this look, hunt for a vibrant yellow dress and don’t be afraid of accessorizing. Long gloves and some chunky bangles would add that Solange-esque flair.

The Patent Leather Set
Solange epitomized easy, elevated style in this hunter green Bottega Veneta leather set. The cinched parka jacket and knee-length shorts cut from the brand’s signature soft leather looks sleek and pulled together. Statement earrings provided the perfect contrast to the chic monochromatic separates. The key here is going bold with a monochrome look in a vibrant leather (or faux leather). Edgy and chic at the same time.

The Snakeskin Bodysuit
This python print jumpsuit and over-the-knee boot combo showcases Solange’s daring fashion sense. The form-fitting design and reptilian pattern walk the line between edgy and glamorous beautifully. We’re obsessed with how she embraced the sleek, unified look from head-to-toe while making the bold ensemble look powerful and confident. If you’re not ready to go full head-to-toe python, incorporating this print in a fun top, skirt, or even a pair of shoes adds instant edge.

The Boho White Dress
Even Solange’s bohemian looks have an unmistakable cool factor. This white lace Zimmermann number with bell sleeves felt romantic and ethereal…until you got to the fishnet thigh-high boots and oversized shades. That unexpected mix of sweet and gritty is a Solange signature. To get a bit of her vibe, try mixing unexpected pieces – a floaty dress with chunky boots, a romantic lace top with ripped jeans. It’s about those surprising combos.
