Our panelists on the latest and greatest celebrity looks

Solange Knowles at the Intermix 20th anniversray party in New York last night

Solange: Beyoncé? BEYONCÉ?! 
Beyoncé: Jeez, what now, sister?
Solange: I haven't got anything to wear tonight?
Beyoncé: What, not even anything orange?
Solange: Well the only orange outfit I have looks like it's covered in witchetty grubs that appear to move if you stare at them for too long.
Beyoncé: Show me.

(Solange reluctantly shows Beyoncé an orange outfit that looks like it's covered in witchetty grubs that appear to move if you stare at them for too long.)

Beyoncé: Oh sister, I adore it! You're going to look like a princess!
Solange: I don't have any shoes to go with it is the other thing.
Beyoncé: It's fine, go barefoot. You rock that look!

CUT TO: Twenty years of Intermix event. Solange is having her photo taken. TBC...

Harriet Walker, news editor at Never Underdressed
It's a lucky person who can carry orange – and Solange appears to be in that number. I think I would have preferred it plain though, rather than patterned. And as for its jumpsuit-ness, well: I'm all in favour. Anything that lift the status of an all-in-one from clownsuit to red carpet-worthy is fine by me. The shoes are niggling me, but I can't figure out why.

Lou Stoppard, fashion editor at SHOWstudio
Both Solange and Beyoncé are blessed with some strange super human ability to wear absolutely anything and look incredible. Leotards, fingerless gloves, short suits, hot pants, hats – stuff that looks heinous on the rest of us rocks on the Knowles sisters. Jumpsuits – especially printed Seventies ones – are one of my pet hates but she looks like she's the coolest girl in the room. As usual. Sigh.
