Style shrinks: Our experts analyse Solange Knowles' tribute to a tangerine
The jacket
Rebecca Gonsalves: This jacket is so beautifully cut it would even look great with the sleeves pushed up à la 'Miami Vice'.
Mike Higgins: It's a catering-sized side of smoked salmon, with pockets. How do you complement that? With hair, a lot of it, infinitely expanding like the universe.
The nails
Rebecca: Drawing the line at 'You've Been Tango'd' nails was a good choice – it doesn't pay to be too matchy-matchy.
Mike: If you turn up to an event as the best-dressed fan of Holland's national football team, you're more than a little matchy-matchy, I'm afraid.
The skirt
Rebecca: This Acne skirt may not have been what her sis Beyoncé meant when she sang 'Bow Down', but if it works it works.
Mike: Not sure about that big knot around her jacket hemline. Is she about to go for a paddle?
The shoes
Rebecca: At a party for Jimmy Choo it would be unwise to wear anything else on your feet; luckily, the brand had a pair that let this tangerine dream continue.
Mike: Sharp jacket, scrunchy skirt, pair of hoopy shoes – Ms Knowles is making the walking satsuma look too easy to pull off. Beware, mortals.
