While most celebrities went for neutrals and metallics at the 2016 Met Gala, Solange (unsurprisingly) ran in the opposite direction and opted for a bold color. The color of a certain tangy, sweet, citrus-based beverage. 

And while, yes, it may be a reach to say that Solange is definitely playing tribute to her big sister with this Rog Walker ensemble, the Knowles family knows how to send a message. 

Whatever the case, Lemonade undeniably is a complex work of art blending fact and fiction ripe for wild speculation public discourse.

Conspiracy theorists should note that the infamous elevator fight that is believed by many to be a result of Becky drama took place at a Met Gala after party. Maybe this look is a warning to anyone who foolishly still believes they can come after her or Beyoncé.

Whatever the case, she had a very nice time with Amandla Stenberg -- who made an appearance in Lemonade -- and Willow Smith.
