Not only is Solange Knowles an actress, DJ, mother, and aunt — to quite possibly the most famous baby in the world — but she's also a style icon, making waves in the fashion industry with her quirky, covetable looks. To say that Solange has confidence is an understatement; she rocks bold colors, big hair, and beautiful ethnic-inspired prints, all with a sophistication and effortlessness that quickens our heartbeat. She's a veritable mix master with the uncanny ability to blend downtown cool-girl with well-traveled aplomb, pairing embroidered separates with attention-getting heels, printed turbans, and chunky beaded jewelry. In honor of this one-of-a-kind fashion maven's 29th birthday, we are celebrating Solange with a look back at some of her most style-setting looks to date.

At the CFDA Fashion Awards, Solange sparkled from every angle.
Hot stuff, coming through! At the Gucci Beauty launch event, Solange lit up the room in her hot pink suit.
Solange made a big statement at the Chime For Change anniversary gala in a bright orange blouse.
Solange's much buzzed-about evening at the Met Gala began in a 3.1 Phillip Lim dress.
The singer was just as psyched as us for the Phillip Lim for Target launch.
Solange showed her flower power in Prada at the New York Blue Jasmine premiere.
Solange, in a striped sweater and bird-print skirt, brought two unlikely patterns together for a fresh, fun daytime look.
Sexy and funky: that's Solange's specialty. She sported high-waisted trousers in a flattering shade of red, paired with a pretty black bandeau and full-length knit sweater — making for a hot, bohemian-chic red-carpet look at the 2011 Elle Women in Music event in Hollywood.
For a July 2011 evening event, Solange paired Dolce & Gabbana's star-print pants with a polka-dot button-down blouse from the brand. Her sharp blazer and mile-long braids only added to the hip factor.
During Spring 2012 NYFW, Solange made her geometric-print tank look fresh and modern by pairing it with tailored red shorts and thin-strap neon sandals. Her chunky beaded necklace was also totally on point.
For a fun daytime look that shows a bit of skin, see how Solange does it: she paired a vibrant maxi skirt with a black, tied-up top and leopard-print heels, making for a sexy, attention-getting ensemble in September 2011.
For a night out at Mulberry's 40th anniversary party, Solange went bold in a long-sleeved, '70s-chic printed dress by Mary Katrantzou, Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte gold heels, and a Mulberry satchel.
For an October 2011 Burberry event, Solange sported a button-down blouse and draped pencil skirt from the brand, as well as a pair of its Verulam beaded sandals.
Solange donned a bright orange minidress with a beaded statement necklace and leg-lengthening nude heels for a Barney's New York event in 2011.
We love Solange in this bright yellow Christopher Kane dress — she kept the colorful-cool vibe going with purple Fendi shoes and a hot-pink CC Skye clutch.
It's a fact: Solange knows how mix so-called plain pieces and make them into one hot ensemble. She tucked a low-cut white tank into a fire-engine-red pleated skirt and cinched the look with a yellow belt during the 2012 SXSW music festival. This is one color story we'd be happy to copy.
Solange channeled a sweet '60s look with a colorblock shift dress and mint-colored Stuart Weitzman cap-toe pumps in March 2012.

Solange Knowles was undeniably fresh in a green printed Pencey x Mia Moretti suit and nude ankle-strap sandals at the 2013 South by Southwest festival in Austin.
Solange's polka-dot Moschino outfit, complete with on-trend white ankle-strap Elizabeth and James pumps, lit up the streets of NYC in February.
At the Topshop LA opening, Solange Knowles went the geometric route in a black-and-white ensemble, finished with a black tuxedo blazer and strappy Chanel shoes.
At the 2013 Essence Black Women in Music event in LA, Solange kept her love for prints going in an Ostwald Helgason minidress and Nicholas Kirkwood cap-toe pumps.
Solange Knowles struck a pose in a cropped splatter-print Diane von Furstenberg pantsuit at a pre-Grammy party in LA. Dainty ankle-strap sandals, a sequined cobalt Jimmy Choo clutch, and a few statement rings took her eye-catching ensemble to new heights.

In signature Solange fashion, the singer wowed in a geometric-print Just Cavalli suit, black-and-white Bottega Veneta sandals, and a coordinating colorful clutch at the season-two premiere of Girls in NYC.
During New York Fashion Week Fall 2013, Solange Knowles showed her support for Diane von Furstenberg in a floral periwinkle blazer and matching pencil skirt by the designer. She paired her print with an orange-and-gray blouse and pointed yellow pumps.
Solange debuted the perfect transitional color palette in an orange, navy, and yellow ensemble at the Luca Luca Spring 2011 show in NYC. The fashion maven topped her knit aztec-print dress with a geometric blazer, then slipped on a pair of t-strap leopard sandals.
During Milan Fashion Week Spring 2013, Solange layered a blue-and-white blazer over her mixed-print mini to create a head-turning Roberto Cavalli combo, then slipped on a pair of cutout Christian Louboutin sandals for a dash of detail. This print-on-print pairing was a little tame by Solange standards.
While sitting front row at the Suno show in NYC, Solange worked a classic gray-and-white pinstriped suit, but upon closer inspection, we also spotted little two-toned horses. Her sophisticated clutch doubled as a map, and her polished pumps were reminiscent of a childhood favorite: Neapolitan ice cream.
Solange took the high-low trend to new heights, donning a green, garden-print, leg-baring combo by Flaminia Saccucci with nude pumps and a mirrored box clutch at a MoMA benefit in NYC.
Solange loved her printed Diane von Furstenberg pantsuit so much that she sported the shorts version during a performance in NYC.
