Fit for Armani

Posted by Bossip Staff

Lil Miss Free Spirit has just been named as an ambassador Armani Jeans:

“Armani Jeans expresses my vision of a young, independent, casual lifestyle with a strong and cool, fashion sensibility. Solange epitomises this style perfectly and brings to it that swing so evident in her new single, I Decided,” Giorgio Armani commented on his newest muse.

The profile-boosting partnership couldn’t come at a better time for Solange, whose second album, SoL-AngeL and the Hadley Street Dreams (from which I Decided is taken), is released on August 26 prior to her embarking on a worldwide tour this autumn.

At least she’s got “Plan B” lined up in the likely event her new album flops. It’ll be interesting to see ole girl wearing something other than those baby-doll dresses for a change.

  • Aunt Viv

    Solange means well…she didn’t ask to be Bey’s sister, so I know it’s not easy for her.

    Those shoes and the sleep mask on the top of her head are unforgivable though.

  • Ermy Erm

    I dont like Solange, never have, but she looks pretty here

  • Ermy Erm

    amazing how she is endorsing Armani, are they going to halt all production of Dereon clothing now?..lol

    Michelle & Kelly, it’s your turn!

  • vee-luv

    her album is going to be nice I think and since I like her for how she has grown through out th years I will be one of the 1st to cop that when it comes out.

  • Kesha

    That’s what I’m talking bout Solange, branch out. Try different things, show your individuality, figure out who YOU are besides Beyonce’s lil sis. She needs her own identity. I think this Armani thing is the start of something great for her.

  • Madame Enigma

    This is the swag they attempted for Kelly , but she has NO PERSONALITY.Oh well Kellz, looks like you better start stackin. Your days are TRULY numbered….

    Solange is so wack man, damn.Real talk.There is no recipe for ‘quirkiness’, you either have it or you don’t.In her case,I don’t buy it.

  • SUNNYDAYZ

    SHE LOOKS NICE HER WEAVE IS BANGING AS ALWAYS .. GO SOLANGE GET IT GIRL I LOVE IT WHEN BLACK WOMEN ARE DOING THERE THING SHE CAN BE A RENAISSANCE WOMAN WHY NOT SHE IS A BEAUTIFUL BLACK SISTER WITH CLASS .

  • num1dominicano

  • LdyK

    This should have been named…

    “another day another endorsement/check”

    Solange is finally going to get that money! or at least what Bey leaves for her….

    (i kid…I kid) :)

  • enigma

    I like her weave. What kind is it?

  • $m♥K.E.Y.

    Good Lawd!

    Her eye brows look like over weight caterpillars

  • Mandah? diggin on u, digging on me

    ” i deciiiiiiiiiided, you gon matte up that weave!”

    dead ass, love the girl other wise…

  • silkybee

    I like Solange and I’ll buy her cd when it comes out…and I’ll also buy Beyonce when it comes out too. It’s all about the music people.

  • lawdy

    Ah, lawdy, somebody go buy that girl a weave from somewhere other than Yarn Barn. Please!

    She definitely got the unfortunate looks in the family….like there was only so many pieces of the puzzle left and you had to trim a few to make them fit. Yep…won’t be glazing that and hanging it on a wall….

    Nah, jus’ teasin’ the girl….she seems grounded…

  • http://www.gravatar.com Re is NOT feeling this J-O-B., and the “Man” is a beech neegah.

    “Her eye brows look like over weight caterpillars”

    lol looks like she tucking them balls back in in that main pic lol

  • cns

    Could this be a conflict of interest with HOD? I mean, what do they whant you to buy? Just asking.

  • Blacksmith

    Something good for her, finally.

  • soulwoman

    I’m sorry but I don’t see anything beautiful about Solange. It’s amazing to me how people follow the leader. Now all of a sudden nobody likes Beyonce and Solange is so great…lol.

    I’m not feeling Solange or her music or her desperate attempts at trying to be the opposite of Beyonce.

    I’m still trying to figure out how cussing, wearing crazy clothes, and posting blogs make you grounded and real? Solange is just as slow and lost and plastic as Beyonce’.

  • JAD

    Congrats to her but the shoes have to go!

  • Angel_Minded

    It’s ironic that Solange n Beyonce get tons of endorsements from Armani…etc., and yet Michelle n Kelly who are also under the same management team, never get endorsements this big.

    Kelly had a huge hit with “Like Dis” and yet…we hear nothing but *crickets* when it comes to endorsements of any kind…

    Solange’s song “I Decided” was a pretty solid effort but it wasn’t on the same level as Kelly’s single, yet she gets no love…*sigh*

  • lawdy

    I meant grounded with her child. You don’t see her in court having her baby taken away, no photos of him being questionably treated, no word of her not being a mom to him. The rest? Don’t know…actually don’t know on the mommy thing, either, LOL…but she seems to at least put that area into perspective.

    The hair? Music? Clothing? Lawdy, the questions abound. But I think it’s relatively safe to say she’s “grounded” in her responsibility to her child. Shocking, really, as she was so young to have him. I don’t advocate that young of a parenthood at.all., and yes, she has the backing of wealth to help her, but she still coulda been and can be, out making a fool of herself and other than that weave mess of the day, clothing that is…well…House of Dereon rejects, and that’s saying something, and her unfortunate makeup choices, she’s pretty much held it together.

    So, yeah, I question her talent right now but on the whole, she’s not so bad a person. From my uninformed knowledge, dontcha know.

    SOLANGE IS THE REALIST ONE IN THAT FLICKED ASS KNOWLES FAMILY

  • Brook Lynn Choclate Gyrl

    I saw Solonge at JFK airport on July 22nd with her son Daniel, and I must say, she was so cool and down to earth. She is so beautiful in person and have such great style. Shoulda asked her where she got those 6 inch patent leather Mary Janes. They were so fierce. Probably Jimmy Choo”s. Love You Solonge.

  • Jack Tripper

    I agree with SoulWoman so to speak. I hate when someone tries TO HARD at trying to be themselves. It should be effortless. It just seems FAKE! We know these chicks are not perfect so what she is cussin, drink/smoke, had a baby at a young age, where vintage clothes…I mean Bey has done the same thing minus having a kid but I am sure her ass had her legs up in the “V” formation at that age too!

    I mean both chicks are normal to me people just pump them up to be different. She is cute though.

  • cns

    I have never really had any negative or postive feelings about her, but I will say, I like I Decided.

  • Brook Lynn Choclate Gyrl

    Ladies, That is NOT!!! a weave. that is a lacewig, I believe it is Chloe from sulrtylacewigs.com, cuz I rocked a wig similar to that last month and it is gorgeous by the way. Weaves are cheap ladies, get up on the lacewigs..

  • He’s Presidential

    I mean it would be different if B didn’t have a deal with them already. So who cares I can’t stand the fake ass Beyonce or Solange her music sounds like a copy cat Amy Wino

  • soulwoman

    I don’t think getting drunk, smoking weed (from what I’ve heard, I may be wrong about the weed part, posting pictures of yourself in cars holding up bottles of liquor, and going on national television and posting video blogs of you having a cussing fit for no reason shows how grounded or responsible she is as a parent. She is in the public eye. Everything she does and says will appear in some media outlet. So no, she comes off as the typical young mother that still has a lot of growing to do. She also comes off as the typical suburban girl that came from a good home that goes out of her way to play herself be down so she can be likeable.

    Solange didn’t have no struggle so she should be able to take care of her kid. What else did she have to do?

    I’m just not buying her “I’m a rebel” image. She pushes it too hard, nothing natural about her.

    I also agree with the person that said how Solange and Bey get major deals while Kelly and Michelle do local ish; but see that’s the benefit of being Beyonce’s sister. Kelly has had more success and is more known than Solange but Solange is getting an endorsement deal with Armani? Yeah, okay.

  • Mochacola

    Solange is a down-to-earth person,(you seen that when she lost her virginity on the blog). She never tries to mock her sister image, and I like that in her. Here she comes as her sister lays back in the cut. I like that in them. At least they know how to shar the spotlight!

  • boris

    She’s actually a whole lot sexier than B. Oh and I think her single is not bad. Like a previous poster up there said. I like her Non-Beyonce ways. Keep ur head up girl I’ll support u by downloading ur album

  • DA TRUFF HURTZ!!!

    I THINKS IT’S SO FUNNY TO SEE WOMEN GOIN’ OUT & WRESTLING WITH THOSE TIGHT ASS DRESSES!!!

  • DA TRUFF HURTZ!!!

    OH.., & SHE’S A LIL’ CUTIE!!!

    I WOULD DEF HANG OUT & IN WIT HER!!!

  • Queen B

    I’m so happy for her!!!

  • me888

    sigh… i love Marni

  • TOODLES

    SOULWOMAN – SOLANGE HAS MORE TALENT THAN KELLY. EVERYTIME I HAVE SEEN HER PERFORM SHE HAS BEEN OFF KEY. AND WHO CAN FORGET THAT AWFUL BET AWARD PERFORMANCE. I HAVE SEEN SOLO LIVE A FEW TIMES AND SHE IS ON POINT. WHICH IS WHY SHE HAS A BETTER DEAL. SHE HAS MORE TALENT..ITS MOST LIKELY IN THE BLOOD.

  • soulwoman

    @

    ToodlesSolange may be better than Kelly but her star power has not come – at least not yet. And when it comes to endorsement deals it’s about popularity. But as I said, the deal is about who Solange is linked to, whom is no other than the “hottest chick in the game”, Beyonce. It has nothing to do with talent.

    Beyonce is not in the cut, lol. She is dropping an album in November and her single is coming out in Sept.

    if thats the case then kelly shouldnt b left out, we all know she proly ole matty’s illigitamate child anyways lmao!!

  • Lady Shady

    Solange sexier than Beyonce! You’re bugging, and hating, and reaching! Solange is cute and the hair looks totally synthetic. Her song is good enough. Exactly SOULWOMAN…Sol-angel is just a sister who got lucky her sister is fly.

  • Creamy Peach

    Don’t curse her like that.

  • FURIOUZ STYLEZ

    SO-LANGE….SO-WHAT….SO-LONG!

    …NEXT

  • Somer

    I AM JUST TIRED OF SEEING MY SISTAS IN THESE BIG ASS WIGS. THAT INCLUDE CIARA WITH HER NEW COKED, BIG HAIR MODEL LOOK. THESE WOMEN ARE TOO BEAUTIFUL TO BE HIDING BEHIND ALL THAT HAIR.

  • You Smell Me?

    she trying to hide her pee pee in this pic….

  • lawdy

    Soulwoman,

    Apparently, I stand corrected.

    She’s a skank.

    Thanks for the enlightenment.

    Moving on….

  • lawdy

    There should have been a LOL! located at the end of that message^^. It wasn’t intended to sound so damned rude. My apologies…..

  • CACA

    OUCH!!! THOSE SHOES LOOK PAINFUL, THEY CUTE THOUGH, BUT I CAN TELL THEY ARE KILLING HER FEET! NOTICE HOW SHE GOT SOME SORT OF GAUZE COVERING HER TOE, I BET THEM SHOES IS SLICING HER FEET!

  • LRAK

    Solange has the worst attitude in a celebrity I’ve ever seen. Very rude and stuck up. No wonder why she’s still “Beyonce’s Sister”. You think she’s Armani’s ambassador because she’s Solange? No- because she’s B’s sister! NEXT!

  • Karla

    I’m feeling the shoe, she’s got her own style and I like that. Do yo thang girl.

    Good Morning Y’all. TGIF, TGIF. LMAO! Eyebrows like caterpillars, ducked taped feet, Nick Cannon in drag, and at long-last…the sleep mask (LOL)-I use one EVERY night. LOL!! While all of those remarks were funny and made me take a second-and third look at the picture, I ain’t goin’ let y’all make me dislike this chick-haha. Alot of folks on here-and other sides, follow everybody’s lead. I like Solange-I like her look (minus those shoes) and her sound. She has no choice over who her sister is but it’s obvious to me that she’s trying to have her own identity and I respect that. I just hope I like the other songs on her cd as much as ‘I Decided’ so I can buy it. Kelly & Michelle would do better if they’d grow some balls, totally separate themselves from Matthew and speak up more. It ain’t Solange’s fault that they sold their souls to the devil.

  • mimi poole

    she’s awesome

    u guys are some haters..literally

    wat r u doin wat ur lives thats so great

    NOTHING !!
