In September 2013, we were reminded again that Jessica Alba’s role as a superhero catapulted her to fame when she turned up at the 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target launch party. Solange Knowles joined her on the red carpet wearing a colorful skirt and a blue-and-black blazer.

Rocking classic primary red-yellow-blue colors, Jessica Alba was again the Fantastic Four’s Sue Storm and Dark Angel’s Max Guevara in our eyes. Her sweater even had a comic-strip-inspired “BOOM!” print on it. Check her out:

Jessica Alba wasn’t the only star turning heads that evening—joining her on the red carpet was Solange Knowles, who showcased her signature bold and eclectic style.

Solange Knowles has always been known for her fun-without-going-overboard style, as seen by her love for color and prints.

Unsurprisingly, the singer arrived at the launch of 3.1 Phillip Lim’s collaboration with Target wearing the loudest item on the menu—a silky skirt in a bold animal pattern and almost-neon colors.

True to her aesthetic, Solange dulled the boldness of the skirt with a structured blue-and-black blazer. The then-27-year-old songwriter grounded her look by donning an afro but livened it with bold red lips.

She polished off her look with nude-and-clear heels, contrasted with a rather attention-seeking clutch with huge studs.

It’s all about contrast for this little lady. Jessica Alba joined her on the red carpet and looked like a superhero in classic primary red, yellow, and blue.

Solange’s sandals feature clear panels at the vamps, open toes, elastic ankle straps, gold-tone studs along the arch, and wooden cone heels with gradient Lucite and gold-tone insets. We spotted the same style on Cate Blanchett at the UK premiere of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.
