Solange Knowles’ epic #blackgirlmagic reign shows no signs of ending. The singer’s new album “A Seat at the Table” is officially the number one album in the country. Can’t say we’re surprised, social media has been flooded with messages of joy and gratitude for Solange’s songs on identity, empowerment and healing. 

And of course joining the chorus of fans is Solo’s doting mother, Tina Lawson, who took to Instagram on Wednesday night to congratulate her youngest daughter on snagging the top spot on the charts. She also took the opportunity to remind us that Solange has always been ahead of her time when it come to music — and fashion. She writes:

“I knew it! When you walked thru Sharpstown mall with Angie and everyone was laughing because you had on those platform shoes and Japanese prints stockings and mixed prints braids down past your butt. You didn’t care!”

Oh my goodness I just found out my Baby has the Number one album in the whole country !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How friggin amazing is that !!!!!! I'm sooooooooooooookoooooooooooo poud of you Solo! I am so happy to see that the world can finally see what I've seen since you were three years old. That you were really special that you were ahead of your time and that you walked to the beat of your own drum and that you stuck to it no matter how much shit people talked.. I knew it ! When you walked thru Sharpstown mall with Angie and everybody was laughing because you had on those platform shoes and Japanese prints stockings and mixed prints braids down past your butt😀you didn't care!

Yup, that sounds like the Solange we know and love. It’s awesome to hear that she’s always been a trendsetter — rather than a trend follwer. 

And speaking of her unique personal style, here’s a look at her most stylish moments this year!
