Solange Knowles Lashes Out at Her Hair Critics, Fuels ‘Natural’ Hair Debate

Solange Knowles is fashion’s quintessential cool girl. She DJ’s at fashion fêtes, loves her some BBQ Kettle chips, has impeccable personal style, and rocks a fab ‘fro we all want to nestle our faces in. But not everyone is as in love with her tresses as we are.

Natural hair blog Curly Nikki posted an excerpt from an interview with Ms. Knowles in the June issue of Essence about her hair secrets. While some commenters responded positively to the piece, there were many who, well, didn’t (this is the internet, after all). Here’s what they had to say:

Solange Knowles Wishes She Hadn’t Chowed Down on Two Bags of BBQ Potato Chips Right Before the CFDAs

Solange Knowles Wishes She Hadn’t Chowed Down on Two Bags of BBQ Potato Chips Right Before the CFDAs

The more we know about Solange Knowles the more she seems like a normal down-to-earth girl that we’d want to hang out with. In a not creepy way, we swear. Last night she attended the CFDA awards with one of our other favorite people in fashion, Jenna Lyons. And since Solange wasn’t even wearing J.Crew (she was wearing an awesome yellow pailette-covered Marni number) we’re pretty sure Solange and Jenna just came together just because they’re buddies. But we had to ask, of course.

Fashionista: So, first, the requisite question, what are you wearing tonight?
Solange: I’m wearing Marni and Missoni shoes and I probably should not have eaten two bags of bbq chips before I got in it, nothing I can do about that now. We actually got here a little early and I was in the car and I was like, ‘I’m so hungry!” so we stopped.

Next very important question, what brand?

Disco Isn’t Dead: From Madonna to Beyoncé, Donna Summer’s Style Lives On

We were saddened to hear today about the passing of Donna Summer, who lost her battle to lung cancer today at the age of 63. Summer moved us (both physically and emotionally) with her strong, sultry vocals, smoldering stage presence, and of course, her unabashedly glamorous look.

Not only did her voice define a genre, but her style set the standard for divas to come. You don’t have to look far to see traces of Donna’s style in some of our most beloved stars today.

So, to honor of the late Queen of Disco, here is a tribute to the continued legacy she left on fashion. From Lady Gaga to Toni Braxton, click through to see Donna’s style influence.

Solange Knowles, Garrett Neff and More Fete the Re-Opening of Salvatore Ferragamo’s Flagship

Salvatore Ferragamo celebrated the re-opening of their Fifth Avenue flagship last night with a highly-spirited party attended by industry players and celebrities like Nina Garcia, Frederic Fekkai, and Solange Knowles. Guests navigated a floor filled with freshly-ice-luged drinks and a Ferragamo gelato cart as the model brand’s newest male face, Garrett Neff, was dispatched about the crowd to chat with VIPs and generally make all the ladies feel a bit giddy. [UPDATE: Neff told us he was the new face of the brand but Ferragamo's PR has confirmed that, well, he's not. Don't lie to us Garret!]

Fashion News Roundup: Nicki Minaj Wears Prada in Wonderland, Karl Lagerfeld Was Claudia Schiffer’s Mentor, and You Can Buy Daphne Guinness’s Butterfly-Filled Apartment

Karl Lagerfeld Mentored Lost Lamb Claudia Schiffer: Way back when O.S. (Original Super) Claudia Schiffer was just a homesick little fräulein in the big bad world of modeling, the Kaiser apparently took her under his friendly fingerless-gloved wing as her wise mentor. Sounds just like a modern-day modeling fairy tale. {Vogue UK}

Check out Wonderland‘s latest cover, which features Ms. Minaj rocking totally natural lashes and what looks like a printed version of the Spring ’12 bodysuit that’s been taking over recent editorials. {Design Scene}
