Solange Knowles Will Be All Up In The Melbourne Cup Next Week

Hairspirational pop star Solange Knowles is the latest famous person with time to kill added to the growing list of celebrities tasked with pretending to know what the Melbourne Cup is. The sibling of a minor deity to whom Law & Order owes an enormous debt of gratitude will DJ, swill champagne and cooly refuse your selfie solicitations at the Lavazza Birdcage Marquee for Derby Day, bringing with her an immaculate taste in music, a presumably ***flawless take on the day’s monochromatic dress code and a straight’s worth more relevance than Mischa Barton

This year’s other notable guests include Margot Robbie, Chris Hemsworth, Gigi Hadid and Erykah Badu.
