Solange Knowles and all her fabulousness were honored at last night's ESSENCE Women in Music event at Greystone Manor in L.A.  Check out all the YBF ladies who came out to support--Kelis, Jill Scott, LisaRaye, Estelle, KeKe Palmer, NeNe Leakes and plenty more--and their gorge purple carpet looks inside...

Honoree Solange, who also performed, kept her signature look of a bold printed leg-baring dress and bold lip color.  This one is by London designer duo Susanne Ostwald and Ingvar Helgason.  And she paired her look with a hot pair of metallic and white-capped toe Nicholas Kirkwood pumps.  Fabulous as usual.

During the event, Solo hit the stage to perform some of her new songs....and even got accompanied by Earth, Wind & Fire's Verdine White! 

Jill Scott gushed about it all saying, "@solangeknowles is swag. Ok? She is swag."

Agreed.

Speaking of the fab Jill Scott, she hit the carpet in a ruby red front slit Michael Costello (former Project Runway contestant) dress.  And she paired her look with sparkling pumps and a bold red lip.  Gorge.

Leave it to Kelis to bring out a feisty look or the occasion.  She rocked thigh high black boots with a gold cap toe, a long snakeskin coat with a black & white dress. Lots going on, including that hair.  But that's why we love her.

We adore Estelle's look of printed red & white skinny pant trousers with a matching jacket.
