The [_A Seat at the Table_](http://time.com/4604697/solange-knowles-rise-weary-jimmy-fallon/) singer sported a black, oversized bubble jacket with a train and matching trousers as well as a crisp white button down and matching black and white shoes, all by Thom Browne. In an Instagram posted to her account, Knowles sent love to both Browne and the designer inspiring the night’s theme, [avant garde designer Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons](http://time.com/4757973/met-gala-2017-rei-kawakubo-bio/), but she also gave a shout out to an unexpected source of inspiration for her outfit: [Missy Elliott](http://time.com/4484308/missy-elliott-marc-jacobs-video/). With that context in mind, Solange’s elegant puffer jacket of a gown bears a striking resemblance to Missy’s memorably inflated garbage bag ensemble from “The Rain \[Supa Dupa Fly\]” video. Talk about real recognizing real. See Solange’s tribute to Missy and then watch Missy’s OG fashion statement below. ## Transcript [00:00] [ MUSIC ] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4762705/met-gala-2017-solange-photo/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4762705/met-gala-2017-solange-photo/"},"headline":"Solange Knowles Pays Homage to Missy Elliot's Iconic Trash Bag Ensemble With Her Met Gala Look","datePublished":"2017-05-02T02:27:11.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-08T08:48:30.748Z","description":"Looks like Solange can't stand the rain","url":"https://time.com/4762705/met-gala-2017-solange-photo/","keywords":["Newsfeed","fashion","Met Gala","Met Gala 2017"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt09c137e9c9615c92/6988cb888fd2ee353f356d8b/solange1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt09c137e9c9615c92/6988cb888fd2ee353f356d8b/solange1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"\"Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons: Art Of The In-Between\" Costume Institute Gala - Arrivals","caption":"\"Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons: Art Of The In-Between\" Costume Institute Gala - Arrivals","creditText":"Theo Wargo-Getty Images For US Weekly","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4762705/met-gala-2017-solange-photo/","name":"Solange Knowles Pays Homage to Missy Elliot's Iconic Trash Bag Ensemble With Her Met Gala Look"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"2017 MET GALA: THE BEST LOOKS","description":"For this year's (admittedly tricky) Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala theme, Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons, stars took every possible approach to the biggest red carpet of the year","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/40SFzmB1/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2017-05-02T04:56:36.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/40SFzmB1.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4762705/met-gala-2017-solange-photo/","duration":"PT57S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4762705/met-gala-2017-solange-photo/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
