Solange Knowles doesn't seem to be afraid of change. From her music to her makeup, Knowles is constantly evolving, trying out new identities and ideas.

The iconic A Seat at the Table album cover inspired countless fans to recreate the face-framing clip style.

This magical, angled cut and shimmer glossy lid was on everyone's Tumblr mood board the summer Knowles shared it to Instagram — and with obvious reason.

For this March 2017 shoot, Solange went full platinum. To add an even bigger sense of drama to the look, she kept her brows a darker shade.

This October 2017 event had Knowles wearing a hairstyle that was a literal work of art. Wearing her hair in a tight, short braided top knot, a halo seemingly made of hair was wrapped around her head.

With a short blonde cut, the singer added bold red eye shadow to her outer eyelids for this December 2017 image.

For her surprise performance at Maryam Nassir Zadeh's September 2017 New York Fashion Week show, Knowles opted for platinum braids styled with ornate beads throughout, and bold brown statement brows.

Experimenting with eyeshadow, Knowles covered much of her lid in a vibrant yellow shade with her signature glossy lip.
