A new, unverified account from designer Oscar G. Lopez attributes the clash to a compliment about Rachel Roy’s gown.

Overview

  • In a Daily Mail interview, Oscar G. Lopez says Jay-Z complimented Rachel Roy’s 2014 Met Gala gown, which he believes upset Solange Knowles.
  • Lopez, who designed Roy’s black lace dress, says the later elevator headlines boosted visibility for the look after she arrived late and missed red carpet photos.
  • The renewed coverage revisits the leaked Standard Hotel footage showing Solange striking Jay-Z after an afterparty as Beyoncé stood by.
  • Page Six reiterates prior unnamed-source claims that Solange appeared intoxicated and argued with Roy earlier that night, which remain unconfirmed.
  • Lopez dismisses longstanding affair rumors involving Roy as “silly,” and Jay-Z and Solange’s joint statement at the time said they apologized and moved forward as a family.
