Overview
- Oscar G. Lopez, who designed Rachel Roy’s 2014 Met Gala gown, told the Daily Mail he believes a compliment from Jay-Z about the dress upset Solange Knowles.
- The new account is a single-source recollection reported by celebrity outlets and has not been independently verified.
- Leaked Standard Hotel surveillance footage from that night showed Solange striking Jay-Z in an elevator as security intervened while Beyoncé looked on.
- Jay-Z and Solange later issued a joint statement saying they had apologized to each other and moved forward as a united family.
- Lopez said the incident drove attention to Roy’s black lace gown after she arrived late and missed red-carpet photos, and he dismissed affair speculation as “silly,” while earlier Page Six reporting about a prior argument remains unconfirmed.
