Solange Knowles is making headlines after sharing a photo of herself covered in hives.
The picture, which we first saw on Glamour, looks like it was taken by the paparrazi on her wedding day in 2014.
Seated in the backseat of a car, several areas of Knowles' face and neck appear to be red with irritation in the photo, which she posted on August 10.
She captioned the zoomed-in picture: "my favorite (and most true to myself) selfie 🌹🌹🌹 lol."
Fans flooded her comments, and many users mistakenly believed the photo was recent.
"I LOVE it when a beautiful woman, who also happens to be in the lime light [sic], isn't afraid to show the raw reality of her skin, up close and personal [sic]," one Instagrammer commented.
Another person wished her a speedy recovery. "Praying it clears up quickly for you Solange," they wrote.
However, this wasn't the first time that Knowles has addressed the incident. In November 2014, E! News reported that she took to social media once a series of photos showing her covered in hives had surfaced online.
A now-deleted Instagram video showed Knowles and her son playfully dancing at the wedding reception.
"Shout out to Benadryl yo, lol. NOTHING was gonna stop me from having my mother and son dance with Julez," she wrote in the caption of the video, according to the Daily Mail.
On Twitter, Refinery29 reported that she responded to a concerned fan saying: "Got em [sic] from turning up x100 during our second line.I was hot,wearing a cape,& happy as hell:) [sic]."It's unclear what exactly Solange was referring to in her response, although this could have been another reference to her dancing with family and friends.
Despite society's often unattainable standards of beauty, it's inspiring to see a celebrity unapologetically showing that they are human too.
