Showcasing another super-voluminous ‘do, Solange Knowles joined Peter Facinelli and Ed Burns on the red carpet at the Ermenegildo Zegna boutique in New York City yesterday evening for the brand’s ‘Essenze’ Collection launch event.
The singer/DJ took a rare night off from wearing colourful prints to don a peachy Olcay Gulsen dress, which is one of Sophia Bush’s favourite brands.
Solange’s jersey dress, featuring daring double thigh-high slits and a high neckline, was styled with B Brian Atwood ‘Labrea’ corded snakeskin sandals, a gold jewels and a gold embellished clutch.
This is yet another sexy chic look from Miss Knowles. She continues to impress and delight with her sartorial choices.

Looks good, but always the same..
The two slits aren’t the most flattering on anyone, but the dress looks a lot better on her than on the model.
I’m amazed by how unflattering this dress looks on the model, on Solange , and on pretty much any other woman on the planet, I imagine.
Great job, designer!
I can’t believe it either!
She’s a great stylist. I love her fashion choices lately.
I like how she accessorized the look but the dress isn’t doing her body any favours unfortunately, it’s not working well on her figure, and while I’m a fan of her signature ‘do, wish she’d tamed it a bit, it’s exaggerated to a distracting unappealing degree.
+ 1
Drop dead gorgeous. Love her in this ensemble.
I like it too.
I like this look. The accessories are interesting and sexy.
I’m not sure the double slits are quite flattering here. Looks better on the model. But I quite like the color on her.
I can’t get past the slits (if they can even be called slits, they’re so prominent). I absolutely loathe this look. The color doesn’t flatter her and it looks extremely awkward (imagine trying to walk in that). This dress was clearly made for someone with a less curvy figure because the fit is all wrong on Solange, yet looks way better on the model.
I could not agree more. This is an awful look – color, style, and fit.
I would have loved this look, if not for the double slits. I find them ugly and tacky.
Love everything minus the dress. She always confident in any look on the red carpet.
LOL. I don’t like the dress either — color, (one too many) slits, sheen or fit. Not terrible, just not quite.
She’s reminding me a bit of Donna Summer here, haven’t decided if it’s a good or bad thing.
She looks like an Amazonian goddess. Love.
Don’t like the slits or hair. Shoes are gorgeous.
catherine, this is off topic but were you in prada on bond st monday night around 5?
no that wasn’t me
I think Solange will get my vote for ‘the breakout fashionista of the year’ award if you ever nominate her FC
And by the way, looking forward to it ! It has been a great fashion year
Not feeling this look on Solange. I think the slits are very unflattering!
A rare miss for Solange. The shoes are nice, though.
Would have loved everything if the dress only had one slit. Those two slits just doesn’t look nice and too tight. I love her accessories and the colour of the dress against her skin.
Two words: hot mess.
I would have been on board with only one slit and tamed hair. I love a big afro as much as the next person but this is bad.
Love the shoes though.
The woman likes her slits lately. It’s not my favourite outfit but she rock this sporty flapper dress to look fun and funky with the hair and sexy sandals.
Her hair is too wild here; I don’t love the bangs. I like her accessories but this dress is so tacky, unflattering, and simaltaneously bland–like a wrestler’s singlet mixed with a bodycast. I don’t know. Just bad.
the material looks cheap and im not crazy about the bangs. too bad cause usually i think she looks great.
Absolutely loving the hair! Is this a ‘more over big sis, I got this on lock’ type of new feeling? Ha! I like the dress, its simple with an edge and some sex-kitten appeal. Heels are perfect, as it doesn’t minus or add to the look. Just right.
This is a no from me. The double slits are terrible, they don’t look great on the model and with Solange’s stance they look even worse and give a tacky feel to the bottom half of the dress. The styling is good though.
I was going to say the exact same thing. Double slits are a big NO for me. It never works.
Go Solange! You wear sexy well!
This dress was made for a smaller size lady. The hips are clearly bulging out of the dress
