In honor of the multi-talented icon&rsquo;s 37th birthday, we&rsquo;re taking a look back at Solange&rsquo;s style evolution over the years and commemorating her best looks.

If ever there was an expert at using fashion as a means to express one&rsquo;s individuality, it would be <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/solange-cover-story-interview-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Solange</a>. The singer/songwriter/<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/solange-fashion-film-international-woolmark-prize-saint-heron" target="_blank" rel="noopener">performance artist</a> has long expressed herself through her ebullient style, making a name for herself throughout her career not only for her dexterous musicality but also for her distinctive sartorial presence.&nbsp;
A pro at all things <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/patchwork-trend-depop-diy-tom-ford-celine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pattern play</a>, Solange&rsquo;s evolution in dress is one that has been accompanied by a discernible increase in self-assuredness and confidence. Soon enough, Solange went from being notorious for her <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/monochromatic-styling-trend" target="_blank" rel="noopener">monochromatic savvy</a> (which was impressive in itself) to masterful incorporations of 3D textured knits and bold structural statements in not only her day-to-day wardrobe but also that of her music videos, many of which are known for their unique artistry and thought-provoking imagery and narratives.&nbsp;
Solange&rsquo;s 2016 album, Seat at the Table, garnered the multi-hyphenate her first Grammy win for best R&amp;B single for &ldquo;Cranes in the Sky,&rdquo; which coincidentally also had one of the standout music videos of the album. In her videos for &ldquo;Cranes in the Sky&rdquo; and "Don&rsquo;t Touch My Hair,&rdquo; the style maven wove narratives of the Black experience while donning geometric and avant-garde garments by brands such as The Row, Acne Studios, and even designs by fashion students attending <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/central-saint-martins-design-students-explore-tods-legacy-scholarship" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Central Saint Martins</a>, the prestigious design school in London from which a succession of reputable designers have emerged, including <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/alexander-mcqueen-most-shocking-runway-moments" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alexander McQueen</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/john-galliano-christian-dior-best-moments-designer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">John Galliano</a>.&nbsp;
Not only has Solange been dressed by reputable designers like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/gucci-aria-film-alessandro-michele-balenciaga" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gucci</a>, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/men/leditorial-thom-browne-waisted-in-paris-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Thom Browne</a>, and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/custom-jacquemus-bag-fashion-auction" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jacquemus</a>, but the fashion Hall of Famer has also founded a multidisciplinary company of her own, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/solange-fashion-film-international-woolmark-prize-saint-heron" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Saint Heron</a>, which showcases the work of artists and designers through online exhibitions. 
Throughout her time in the limelight, Solange has made a name for herself with her inventive style and virtuosity. To celebrate her 37th birthday, L&rsquo;OFFICIEL highlights Solange&rsquo;s ever-adapting fashion.
