In July 2013, Solange Knowles attended the New York premiere of the Woody Allen film “Blue Jasmine,” held at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. As usual, she walked the red carpet like a pro dressed in head-to-toe Prada.

She wore a mint green top and skirt, both with floral appliques from Prada’s Spring 2013 collection.
Statement earrings, a mini purse, and pink satin heels completed the ensemble. It wasn’t exactly a look that many people would be inclined to copy, but Solange rocked it.

While Blue Jasmine is known for its powerhouse performances, Cate Blanchett’s luxe wardrobe also stole the scenes—just look at this effortlessly chic moment, featuring a belted beige sheath, a textured cardigan, and that iconic tan Hermès Birkin.

With a modest costume budget of just $35,000, costume designer Suzy Benzinger skillfully curated a wardrobe that reflected Jasmine’s former wealth, borrowing luxury pieces like Hermès and Louboutin.
These carefully chosen ensembles didn’t just support the narrative—they became characters in their own right. Let’s take a closer look at some of the standout fashion and footwear moments from the film’s premiere tour.
