Solange Knowles & Angela Simmons At The Young Hollywood Party + Solange Drops "Favors" Unreleased Track

Posted: 24 Sep 2011 08:09 AM PDT

Solange Knowles, Angela Simmons and Camile Winbush were among the beautiful folks invited to the Teen Vogue Young Hollywood party in LA last night.  See their pics inside and listen to "Favors"--an unreleased track Solange recorded a few years ago.

Solange Knowles was spotted out last night at the 9th Annual Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Party at the Paramount Studios in Los Angeles, CA.  She looked fab as usual in her yellow skirt and white deep blouse with her peek-a-boo bra underneath.

While at the event, she posed with Editor-in-Chief Amy Astley of "Teen Vogue", and Senior West Coast Editor Lisa Love.

She also DJed at the event.

Actress Camille Winbush was also at the party rocking this one-shouler graphite bandage dress.

And Angela Simmons rocked an animal print dress with a front tie at the top.

 

 

 

Also in Solange news......  

 

The DJ/singer recently released "Favors" to the web.  It's a piano-driven track originally recorded for the SoL-AngeL and The Hadley St. Dreams disc. 

But don't expect the song to sound anything like what will appear on her third album, which she is currently working on with Pharrell.  She tweeted, "Favors’ is no way related to my album.”

Time to party!  Christina Milian is turning the big 3-0 next week.  And she already started her hectic party schedule.  Pics of Ms. Milian living it up in NYC, plus pics of another birthday girl partying it up, Jennifer Williams, inside...

 

The "Dip It Low" mama of 1-year-old Violet Nash toasted Hpnotiq with her mother, aunt, uncle, and celebrity friends including "106 & Park"'s Rocsi Diaz and singer Maxwell at NYC Meatpacking District restaurant Beaumarchais.

The fab chick rocked this uber cute black strapless Betsy Johnson dress and nude suede pumps for the occasion.  She says now that she's 30--she's learned how to rebel, say what's on her mind, and not be so naive about love.  She's still working on her new album with the first single dropping possibly the top of next year.  And she also dished about her upcoming possible tv move with ABC Family called Maid In Miami.  Peep the video:

 

And elsewhere in NYC last night, "Basketball Wife" Jennifer Williams celebrated her b-day (which was actually this past Saturday) at Greenhouse:

Her friend Tank came out to party:

And so did Maino.

Fab times for the birthday girls!
