According to an interview with [_Vogue_](http://www.vogue.com/13488319/solange-knowles-new-videos-cranes-in-the-sky-dont-touch-my-hair/), Knowles chose to use the connected dress (inspired by an Issey Miyake runway design from the ’90s) in the video as a show of solidarity between women. For her Fallon performance, Knowles sported a red version of it that connected her to two of her backup singers as they sang a medley of “Rise” and “Weary” from her new album, _A Seat at the Table,_ basically confirming that Solange has the coolest girl gang around.
