Solange hit up Merah club in London last night rocking this lovely lil tangerine getup and rocking her dookie braids in an elegant knot. We like it when she shows a lil more leg, but them shoes is kinda nice Solo — they may just make up for it. Solo was spotted chatting a lil with this “chap” — if not him, we certainly hope somebody on the other side of the pond will show Solo a good time. Give that girl something to really smile about. Riiiiight? WENN

Some folks might call this nepotism. Diddy’s concubine Cassie, Kanye’s concubine Selita Ebanks and Jay-Z’s sister-in-law Solange Knowles have all been named as spokesmodels for Carol’s Daughter. The ladies are the subject of a recent WWD feature, which is excerpted below: Carol’s Daughter aims to showcase the customers who can’t be neatly slotted into one category or another. Take, for instance, Cassie, who is of black and Filipina descent, or Ebanks, who has Jamaican, Irish, Indian and African heritage and grew up in the Cayman Islands. Knowles is of African-American and French Creole descent. “They will serve as cultural ambassadors in bringing forth this acceptance that the definition of beauty is now colorless,” said Steve Stoute. “There are no longer boxes of white, black, Latina, Asian. More and more women are checking the other box.” According to Stoute, the trio was chosen because aside from their beauty “they share the vision and embody the messaging in their attitude, appearance, projects and core values.” “Carol’s Daughter doesn’t have just one direct demographic,” said Ebanks. “Solange’s hair is a different texture than mine; so is Cassie’s. Our skin and body types are different. Today, people are blended, and I think the three of us are a prime example. Women in my family range from vanilla to the deepest chocolate.” While the brand will continue to use longtime spokespeople and investors Jada Pinkett Smith and Mary J. Blige, as well as [founder] Lisa Price, in brand visuals, the three new spokeswomen speak to the “millennial generation, which is basically a colorless society,” said Stoute. So basically whether you rock a natural, a half shaved dome or a weave Carol’s daughter has all their bases covered… Congratulations concubines ladies! Source
Solange brought ’70s chic back last night at ELLE’s 2nd Annual Women in Music Concert. Wearing a big floppy hat and high-waisted flare pants, Solange showed off her toned tummy and unique style before making a wardrobe change to perform. Before taking to the stage, she wrote this message on Twitter: “Performing couple of my new jams for the first time tonight at the ELLE Mag Women in Murrrsic show. First show in 2 years. Rusty b****.” Can’t wait to hear the new stuff, Sol! Jordin Sparks walked the carpet, as well.

Solange Knowles showed off her funky two step at last night’s second annual ELLE Women in Music Concert in Hollyweird. Robyn and Theophilus London also performed, and slimmy trimmy Jordin Sparks was in the house!
Solo was snapped in this snazzy turban and tribal print getup leaving her secret boogie down spot in Hollyweird after partying Thursday night and wasn’t too happy about it. Paps shined their flashing nights at BeyBey’s baby sister as she was walking out of The Frolic Room and she took to Twitter to complain: We’re sure they must have cramped her style. That really blows Solo. Did you put something in the air to get your mind right after that? Cuz you seem to have chilled out by the time fashion blog WhoWhatWear put up said paparazzi shots to jock you and your Chloe Sevigny Opening Ceremony platforms. We’re actually really proud that Solo has Africa on the brain. The younger of the famous Knowles’ sisters joined a group of like-minded artist to record the new song “Kenya” which will benefit the Coca Cola Africa Foundation which campaigns for cleaner water in Africa. Solo’s trill azz big sis has also been inspired by the Motherland as of late. Bey is using African dance elements in the choreography of her next video: Beyoncé is bringing 200 African dancers to Los Angeles today to ensure the dance sequences in her next video are like nothing fans have ever seen. A source close to Beyoncé said the dancers will help Bey incorporate some of their native moves into her “Girl” music video. And as Solange said, Beyonce is definitely on her BOSS ish, when it comes to her career: “She’s interviewed hundreds of people and got a great company together and is doing her own label and some other stuff,” S2S was told. “There’s no ill will between Beyoncé and her father. She just wants to have her own empire and Jay-Z has nothing to do with her management,” the source said. “It’s about her evolution as a woman.” Sounds about right. The pressure has got to be on with this “groundbreaking” album that’s coming this June. SplashNews/FamePictures
LisaRaye is launching her very own collection of jeans with PZI, the retailer that creates “the ultimate fit in denim for the woman with curves.” Due out this summer, LisaRaye was involved with the design, material selection and structure of the line. Offered in sizes 4 to 18, and in four different lengths, the denim was designed “with no gape at the waist [and] more room in the hips, rear, and thighs.” “I believe in this jean line. It contours the body and holds us in. It has stretch to it. I’ve designed some really pretty designs,” she said. From the look of the promo photos, the LisaRaye collection boasts several styles and cuts, but retains one similarity: they’re all white. And can you blame her? The color has become her trademark. She is the queen of wearing white – even after Labor Day. We’ll even get the chance to watch her audition models for the new line of denim when she returns to our television screens with the second season of her reality series “LisaRaye: The Real McCoy” on April 7 at 9pm on TV One. Check out our exclusive clip below. LisaRaye’s Daughter’s Apple Bottoms Campaign [PHOTOS] Stacey Dash & LisaRaye’s New Show “Single Ladies” [TRAILER]
