Nearly a decade ago, Solange Knowles’ career got its kick off as a backup dancer and singer for her sister’s group, Destiny’s Child. But the image of the young backup artist has now been replaced with the print-pairing, afro-wearing, not afraid to say what she pleases, Solange, and in recognition of her 27th birthday, we are celebrating all of it.
Since implanting herself in Brooklyn and setting up shop in the Carroll Gardens neighborhood of the New York City borough, something fascinatingly unique happened: Solange blended her Texas swag with a Brooklyn edge and a fearless approach, to create a personal style that is almost impenetrable.
With a sound, aesthetic and lifestyle all her own, it’s hard not to pay attention to the model, mommy, DJ, singer, oh, and little sister to the biggest R&B star in the world, Beyonce.
Solange has mastered something not many can boast: the art of dressing just right, for every single occasion, no matter the occasion. We guess that’s a perk that comes with developing a style tailor fit to your lifestyle and personality, a feat that has allowed her great respect in both the music and fashion industry.
We’ve taken the liberty of rounding up 27 looks from the last 365 days of Solange. She sure looks good with trouble, but also looks good in just about every trend. Take a look back at Solange’s style at 26 and raise your glasses to a 27th year of fashion to come.
