26 Reasons Solange Is the Chicest Chick Behind the DJ Booth

Before Lupita Nyong'o was making the close-cropped Afro famous on the Oscars red carpet, Solange wore hers with a deep side part and bubblegum-pink lipstick. One word: trendsetter.

I don't exactly know what to call this hair accessory (headband? fascinator?), but paired with this vampy lip color, it's to die for.

What to pack for a beach day: green eyeliner, orange lipstick, and a wide-brim hat. Solange doesn't just do edgy, she also has a bohemian-chic side (so versatile that one).

Solange is the master mixtress when it comes to prints, and this turban wrap would look so chic poolside or while you're rocking out to your favorite festival act.

Solange wouldn't be caught dead in a classic winged smoky eye (boring). Instead she wore this geometric boxy shadow look with a nude lip and relaxed curls.

Orange eye shadow with orange lipstick? I wouldn't have been brave enough to try it until Solange showed me how.

Even though I'm still on the hunt for the perfect nude lipstick and nail polish, Solange found a pale taupe hue that blends right into her tawny complexion. Is my jealousy showing?

Vary rarely, Solange straightens out her coils for a sleek look. While the Afro is modern, this smooth style exudes old Hollywood glamour.

You know that rule in which you have to pick either a bold eye look or a bright lip? Solange broke that one a long time ago.

I ran out and bought a hood dryer to roller set my hair after I saw this 'do on Solange.

Even Solange's no-makeup makeup look is one I want to copy. I mean just look at those bold brows!

This matte tangerine lipstick borders on caution-cone territory, but it blends in perfectly with Solange's mustard gown and caramel skin tone. And now I'm debating if I should cut bangs . . .

I wonder how long it takes her to pick out her Afro to get this volume? Hey, the higher the hair . . .

If I could send Solange back to any decade, it would be the '70s. This larger-than-life Afro would give Foxxy Cleopatra a run for her money.

I can almost guarantee Solange will be rocking plaits as she does her festival circuit. But even more than the hair, I love her pink eye shadow and red lip combo here . . . and the robin's egg nail polish . . . and the print explosion on those shorts. Wait, I love it all!

Dear Solange,

What shade is this hot orange nail polish because I must have it? Please and thank you.

P.S. this braided updo is pretty dope, too.

Somehow Solange still manages to dance on stage with box braids down to her knees. Her talent knows no bounds.

While most of us stray away from the extreme runway trends, Solange copied this blue eyeliner look from the Michael Kors runway, and it worked.

Solange is a front-row fixture at Fashion Week, and this blowout is one way she's changed up her look as her natural hair grows longer. So chic, she had to pull out the shades to ward off the street style photographers!

Solange's style goes beyond daring. Only she could pair a kelly green eyeshadow with an emerald dress (trust me, I tried).

False eyelashes may be a staple on the red carpet, but Solange remixed the classic by dyeing her falsies hot pink.

Curls, curls, curls! I'm dying to find out Solange's technique to get these chic waves. But the orange eyeliner . . . I'll leave to the master.

Even when Solange trades in her natural hair for a sleek ponytail, she manages to keep the dramatic flair.
