Solange Knowles: Style File

Solange Knowles' style is wonderfully flamboyant.
She loves yellow and never shies away from a great print. Oh, yeah, she also has, like, a really famous elder sister - but that's by the by when you've got a wardrobe like Solange Knowles'.
Having just released her third studio album A Seat at the Table, Solange is making the rounds on the radio as well as on the fashion circuit.
Frankly, we've been astounded by the singer's evolving look this past 12 months. Here's why...
Getty ImagesAt the Creatures of Comfort fashion show in New York, Solange wore a sheer, lightweight coat over acid wash jeans and a strappy top.
Rex FeaturesSolange was a lady in red for the House of Peroni opening party wearing a full red ensemble.
Rex FeaturesSolange is known for her flamboyant fashion, so these ultra wide-legged trousers were clearly right up her street.
Rex FeaturesTo attend a NYFW party, Solange wore a full-length knitted dress, gold Gucci mules and amazing feathered earrings.
Rex FeaturesSolange's bright yellow Met Gala outfit was certainly a talking point of the night - a tribute to her sister Beyonce's Lemonade album possibly?
Rex FeaturesTo a dinner, Solange wore an asymmetric white top with matching trousers.
Getty ImagesSolange attended the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Show and Tea at Chateau Marmont in a head-to-toe cream fitted ensemble and matching scarf.
RexIt's what every summer wardrobe needs - a metallic pleated skirt, but of course Solange knew that before we did, obviously. The singer teamed her shimmering skirt with an orange crop top and gold heels for the Kiehl's Pioneers By Nature party in London.
Getty ImagesWe LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this two toned trouser suit on Solange Knowles. The look is smart yet playful with that pop of yellow and bright breast coat buttons.
Rex FeaturesPapped in New York, Solange rocked detailed cut-offs with her all-white-on-the-night outfit. We love her pop of pink lippy.
GettyAt the Moet Nectar Imperial Rose x Marcelo Burlon launch event in New York, Solange wore a stunning structure evening dress with barely-there make-up. Gorgeous!
RexAt London's Veuve Cliquot Rich launch party, Solange looked simply perfect dressed in a white mini with a side cape.

Getty ImagesAttending the H&M AW15 show during Paris Fashion Week, Solange worked the all-white look effortlessly. Just feast your eyes on those fluffy peep toes.
Rex FeaturesBack to her go-to colour, Solange looked flawless in her skirt-suit and shades.
Rex FeaturesThe genius of Solange’s style is that she can bundle a whole lot of looks together – dark red lipstick, braided buns, all all-white mesh outfit and elegant sandals with mint green toenails – and it still looks pulled together.
