Solange Knowles makes red carpet return after elevator fight

Singer Solange Knowles returned to the spotlight in New York City on Monday night (02Jun14) for the first time since her headline-grabbing fight with Jay Z last month (May14).

Beyonce's younger sister became headline news following the leak of security camera footage which showed her lashing out at the rapper as they left a party at The Standard Hotel after the Met Gala in the Big Apple.

The pair has since apologised to each other over the incident and tried to keep a low profile, but Knowles braved the press and photographers at the Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards on Monday.

Wearing a revealing silver dress, the 27 year old briefly posed for snappers, but did not stop to talk to reporters covering the event.
