Solange Knowles & Rachel Roy ‘avoided each other’ at the CFDA Awards

FFN_GG_CFDA_Awds_060214_51437596

I can’t believe Solange Knowles had the stones to show up at last night’s CFDA Awards, given what went down at the Met Gala after-party. I guess it was okay because Jay-Z and Beyonce weren’t there? Still, Rachel Roy WAS there. I think at this point, we can pretty much say with certainty that Rachel Roy was somehow involved in an incident with Solange and/or Jay-Z at the Met Gala party, and Roy’s presence might have been “the reason” for Solange’s assault on Jay. Early reporting from Us Weekly has Solange “avoiding” Rachel Roy at the CFDAs. Yeah, right.

Awkward! Solange Knowles and designer Rachel Roy made a point to avoid one another at the Council of Fashion Designers of America awards in New York City on June 2. Solange infamously attacked her sister Beyonce’s husband, Jay Z, back on May 5 at the Met Gala after spotting the rapper and the designer flirting, a source told Us Weekly at the time.

“Solange yelled about Rachel on Beyonce’s behalf, asking Jay, ‘How could you treat my sister like that?'” the source said. “Solange walked up and started screaming at Rachel. She was making a big scene.” (A Roy source countered that she and Jay Z didn’t even speak that evening.)

On Monday, however, the two kept a further distance from one another. An eyewitness tells Us, Roy attended the event with John Legend’s wife Chrissy Teigen while Solange, who wore a custom Calvin Klein Collection embellished pewter silk dress, attended the event with Francisco Costa, the brands’ women’s Creative Director.

“Rachel looked uncomfortable,” the source tells Us. “They obviously didn’t want to run into Solange and Solange’s people also tried to steer clear of them.”

This is the official story until a week from now, some security video comes out of Solange trying to kick Rachel in the tenders in a hotel elevator as she screamed “SURPRISE, BITCH.” But for now, I guess we can say that Solange “won” this round – her Calvin Klein gown is gorgeous and her body looks great. Rachel’s dress – which I’m assuming she designed herself – is awful.

    Lol. Solange has a third leg!

  2. melissa says:

    She has such a mean looking face. She’ll cut a bitch. I thought that before the elevator thing.

  3. Calabar says:

    “SURPRISE, BITCH.” LOL

    Good for Solange for coming out

  4. Steph says:

    Ever since the elevator incident, when I look at Solange, I just see crazy eyes!

  5. Dani2 says:

    Solange looks amazing here, hair, body, dress, everything.

    But ditto to @Steph’s comment above, I do see crazy eyes every time I look at her now.

    • We Are All Made of Stars says:

      I would just like to say that I think she looks beautiful here with her gorgeous dress and her big poof of hair. It’s amazing how much hair will change the face. She makes my blonde azz want a giant pouffy fro like that. My hair won’t even hold volume for five minutes. Oh well.

  6. Lex says:

    Why is she invited to stuff? Has she ever had a job beyond the 50th Bring It On movie with Hayden Pannettiere?

  7. Pri says:

    Solange looks so smug and stuck up! I guess, it must be cool to be a famous persons sister. She definitely must be getting certain/ most perks because of her sister

    • Tiffany says:

      Yep. She really has a strong sense of entitlement for someone who is famous for have a superstar sibling. If this was anyone else she will still be struggling for a big break in Texas.

  8. Patricia says:

    I doth know much about either of these people, but I do know a bit more about batshit-crazy “basement baby” (Michael K’s name for Solange) and her inexcusable behavior. She’s nuts.

    This Rachel, she’s a designer? Because that slit is NOT good. That’s not then place for a slit. If has kind of a gross effect, actually. Try again.

    • Rice says:

      Everything you said. Also, I don’t think I’m fashion-forward enough to understand the purpose of the jacket that Rachel’s wearing.

  9. Patty Cake says:

    I knew home girl had a reason for going off. Jay Z does things, a lot of crap actually, and gets away with because the couple is supposed to be untouchable, LMAO. ThTs none sense. Not to say I condone violence, but it’s clear as day that Solange don’t tolerate cheating, ROTFLMAO. Go girl!

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      Really? You think beating on someone because you don’t like something they did is funny and praiseworthy? I don’t. Yelling at him would be fine, but hitting him? Stupid, immature and illegal. Would you be laughing if he hit her?

      • Patty Cake says:

        Did you not READ my comments properly? I said that I don’t condone violence. Let’s not make my comment something it is not.

      • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

        You don’t condone violence, but it makes you roll on the floor laughing and say go girl. Ok. Maybe you need to read your comments properly, because you are condoning violence when your cheer someone for behaving violently.

    • Patricia says:

      Well Patty Cake, you said you don’t condone violence and then you ended your post with “go girl!”. So…. You’re confusing.

      Besides, didn’t you see the two weeks of exhaustive debate on this topic that already happened on this site? Why are you even bringing it up again? You had to know that people would react to your comment.

      • Patty Cake says:

        Well Patricia, they’re reports that they made up. They took pics together. Everybody looks happy. That’s why I said, “Go girl!”

        ” didn’t you see the two weeks of exhaustive debate on this topic that already happened on this site? Why are you even bringing it up again? ”

        Well, was there not a reflection on what may have happened regarding the altercation in Kaiser’s post? So now its taboo to talk about the violence that Solange displayed in the elevator because people on her were debating about it?

        That’s not a good argument to make. Because some folk were in disagreement about it on the site doesn’t mean anything. Conversations about violence should be discussed. I think what Solange did was wrong. Again, I said I don’t condone violence. That doesn’t mean I can’t bring the situation up. They had a situation, and they got over it, recognizing the most important thing, which is that they are family. I stand by what I said.

    By choosing to avoid Rachel, she will be doing herself a disservice by missing out on the good food.

  11. QQ says:

    love Solange Dress, also No NO! LETS TALK ABOUT THIS: HOW AND WHO has made Rachel Roy a Good Taste Arbiter in clothing??! For years Ive seen her or asked my friends and it’s always like a head scratcher her clothes on herself are Holmes and Yang bad, poorly tailored stuff, crap construction, unflattering stuff, poo colors I mean sometimes is everything all at once, I dont get it, by all means illuminate me

  12. nicegirl says:

    I do not know what is up with me today, but that “SURPRISE, BITCH” has got me crying laughing. Hilarity in the morning is awesome, many thanks

    • Willa says:

      I know! I love the “Surprise, Bitch!” too!

    • jaye says:

      I get a mental picture of Solange jumping out from behind a bush shouting “Surprise Bitch!” and it just tickles me to no end.

  13. Bridget says:

    I wonder if Solange and Roy had a falling out on their own – they used to be friendly if not friends (Solange was even her Met Ball guest a couple of years ago). If Solange exploded at Roy at this year’s Met, its no surprise that she would avoid her at this event too, just to try not to embarrass herself further.

    For some reason, I just don’t think Solange would be this upset over a Jay sidepiece.

  14. melain says:

    Kaiser you’re so funny! Surprise b..Hahaha. Solange does look pretty with her Diana Ross hair. Scary, but pretty. A good night to take the stairs, perhaps.
