Get The Solange Knowles Look

So it’s no secret that we love the style of Solange Knowles! Yes, fashion’s It-girl and the face of Rimmel’s Lasting Finish 25 Hour Foundation has a style we simply love! Bold prints, statement pieces and colour, colour and more colour is how she rolls.

So we asked fashion editor Tarryn Oppel how to get Solange’s look: ‘I love how she combines designer with vintage and her love affair with ’90s shapes, pops of colour and bold prints. With all the fuss about her recent trip to ELLE HQ for our exclusive cover story, it’s only fitting that we show you a few pieces inspired by Solange’s iconic style and bright personality, from colour-blocked blazers, shirts and skirts to Afro-centric prints and that all-important pair of statement shoes, topped with a headscarf and cool sunnies, of course.’
