Solange Knowles and her “questionable,” “undefined” 4c curl pattern stepped out to last night’s ‘See What Unfolds’ event at the Trident stand in Times Square. For the evening, she opted for a black top, shorts, clear strap Pierre Hardy sandals, and a $3,660 printed satin blazer from Roberto Cavalli‘s Spring 2012 collection. She completed the look with her trusty $325 bright pink CC Skye Niki clutch.
If the blazer looks familiar, it’s because Monica Brown wore the exact same one to perform at her Mother’s Day concert at the James L. Knight center in Atlanta. The singer chose a similar color palette, betting on a black blouse, jeans, and black Christian Louboutin Daffodile pumps.
Both Monica and Solange chose to anchor the blazer with all (or in Solo’s case, mostly) black. While I think she could have gone with a funkier combination, I think Solo rocked it better. There’s just something about the way she carries herself that uplifts the whole look! And can we get into the hair and makeup? Di-vine!
Confession: when my relaxer grows out, I like to play with my roots because they are so wavy. This photo really makes me want to touch Solo’s corkscrew curls, they look so soft and bouncy! Does this make me weird?
Anyway, what do you think?
* Both Cassie and Rita Ora wore the sequined version of this blazer. Which version do you like better? Who rocked the look best?

Solange takes the cake, not a fan of Monica’s style!
June 21, 2012 1:03 pm
Solange, because I like her shoes better with it.
June 21, 2012 1:06 pm
Where can I get Solange’s shoes?
Oh and your not weird, I love to touch my natural wavy hair too, its an addiction! lol
June 21, 2012 1:11 pm
Lol..Solange..she is hands down Gorg!..Monica she’s trying…
June 21, 2012 1:13 pm
Solange. Monica’s look is just bleh and monotonous. I wish everyone would retire the chunky platform pumps. Sigh!
June 21, 2012 1:15 pm
Lord… not Rita “H-Ora-ble” again….
Solange looks so fantastic… and thanks to @sticky- n-sweet for asking about her shoes because she has worn them before and i’ve wanted to know more about them!
June 21, 2012 1:25 pm
SOLO…
June 21, 2012 1:29 pm
Solange by a mile…
June 21, 2012 1:32 pm
Solo definitely! And Rita looks a mess
June 21, 2012 1:40 pm
Do Monica wear anything other than blazers and skinny jeans? Her fashion is boring me. I prefer Solange.
June 21, 2012 1:45 pm
SOLANGE! I have a whole Pinterest board dedicated to her…love her style.

I’ve fallen in love with Solange more and more. She did it!
June 21, 2012 1:53 pm
solange ftw
June 21, 2012 1:53 pm
Solo of course; AND Rita (LOL) I think she looks totes cute. Three cheers for her mixing things up a bit.
June 21, 2012 1:54 pm
I love me some Solange but her hair is looking a lil don king ish
June 21, 2012 2:06 pm
Of course Solange rocked this piece best. That chic is just so damn adorable, I can’t stand it! lol
June 21, 2012 2:07 pm
Solangeknowles.
June 21, 2012 2:13 pm
Solange knowles by far…love her!!
June 21, 2012 3:23 pm
Solange’s hair is giving me Don King right now, but she slayed this look as she always does.
June 21, 2012 4:03 pm
solange is giving me lifeeeeee. She is so fab and this look is pure perfection. Monica needs to pull that weave out stat and her style bores me…her and lala are just yawn…spend a bunch of money….yawn…
And touching your fab hair is natural. I love touching mine…when it grows long enough to curl up into it’s pattern and when it is cut super short…..
June 21, 2012 4:15 pm
Jihan, you’re hilarious.
For whoever asked, Solange’s shoes are Pierre Hardy from 2008 or 2009. She likes to resurrect her fave pieces, as witnessed by that CC Skye clutch. Cute!
June 21, 2012 4:53 pm
Miss Solo is the the truth! Effortless and graceful and then at the other end of the spectrum is Miss Ora.
June 21, 2012 4:59 pm
All I know is I want Cassie’s abs.
June 21, 2012 5:01 pm
Solange…effortless!
June 21, 2012 5:35 pm
Solo from the neck down. I always want to moisturize her hair and/or give her a two-strand twist-out, smdh….
Somehow Monica found a pair of pants that are too tight for those skinny legs, NOT flattering.
June 21, 2012 7:35 pm
I love Mo’ but Solo has the IT girl factor here!
June 21, 2012 8:22 pm
Solange stays so untouchable! Luv her she is so fab I check for her all the time.
June 21, 2012 8:48 pm
My girl Mo can’t do no wrong in my eyes. Solange looks hot tho.
June 21, 2012 9:23 pm
I like it on both of them.
June 21, 2012 10:39 pm
Solo def win’s this round!! I’m loving the sequin version as well… maybe more!
June 21, 2012 11:21 pm
This jacket is amazing I just need it in my life.

June 21, 2012 11:32 pm
Solange is fierce in this one…too hot!!!
June 22, 2012 12:21 am
Is this even a question? Solo for the win!!!!
June 22, 2012 1:09 am
Solange really be dressing her ass off! I love this look on her.
June 22, 2012 1:11 am
Does she have a stylist or dresses herself I wonder! ?!
June 22, 2012 7:00 am
Pretty sure solange dresses herself which I admire.
Monica is another one of those can’t dress heifers who hide behind designer labels but can’t actually dress for two craps.
Cassie is my body inspiration. Too bad half of that is genes.
Rita….take a seat.
June 22, 2012 9:14 am
SOLANGE! Monica looks good in it thought…but Solanges look with the comfy sandals, and shorts looks sooo effortless…Monica also looks awesome….Rite and Cassie…le sigh, grow up, get a stylist…stop trying so hard…
June 22, 2012 9:52 am
loving these blazers!This is an awesome post.
June 22, 2012 9:55 am
Am I the only one who thinks Solange’s hair is NOT cute?!
June 22, 2012 10:15 am
SOLO! next question pleez!
More importantly…info on Solo’s shoes pleez!
June 22, 2012 10:18 am
@MEL as Claire so graciously mentioned in the comments above, I quote:
“For whoever asked, Solange’s shoes are Pierre Hardy from 2008 or 2009.”
June 22, 2012 10:42 am
Solo wins the look hands down… Monica used to be more of a risk taker with her fashion… she’s gotten kinda boring as of late.
Solo’s hair is a HOT AZZ MESS and I am natural and have been for about 4 years… her hair looks dry to me and I love texture but I have never gone for that unkempt look….I think its hilarious how these days she is pushed to the front as a rep for the natural hair gals…. she is not reppin me .
June 22, 2012 11:23 am
Solange= FASHION ICON!
June 22, 2012 4:42 pm
Solo for the win. I ♥ how Solange doesnt rock twist outs or try to “define” her curls, she is def a style icon. She does what she wants and I love that.
June 23, 2012 10:04 pm
Solange and Cassie can’t be beat.
June 25, 2012 12:12 pm
solonge of course!!!
