For the most part, Solange Knowles isn’t necessarily a ripped jeans and a baggy T-shirt type of gal. She’s more likely to pair a glossy trenchcoat with refined cowboy boots (check out that Lucite heel!) or gallivant about in a silky yellow slip dress than she is to wear something as quotidian as a pair of blue jeans. But when she does eschew her more glamorous side to don denim, it’s usually major—case in point: her recent showstopping Calvin Klein campaign, which also featured like-minded artists Kelela, Dev Hynes, Kindness, and Caroline Polachek.

And over the weekend, she had yet another memorable denim moment, posting a photo of herself on Instagram in a pair of wryly funny jeans with multiple large cuffs running down the length of her legs. These daring Y/Project dungarees were matched with a Big Baller Brand T-shirt and a pair of chic cowboy boots. In the photo’s caption, she said she was trying to send her adopted hometown’s football team, the New Orleans Saints, some “good juju” for the big game on Sunday. Despite the fact that the Saints lost in a historic last-minute upset, at least Knowles seized the opportunity to sport a truly extra take on an American classic.
