SOLO STAR: SOLANGE KNOWLES FOR ELLE SOUTH AFRICA

Almost every blog that I follow had readers who were filled with excitement when they found out that Solange Knowles would be on the cover of the November 2012 issue of ELLE South Africa. We waited and we watched for any news we could find on this epic feat until the day the magazine would come out. Solange may not be a bigger star like her sister Beyonce, but she has proven that she's her own woman and that's why we love her style and her sense of individuality.

Solange has had her fair share of magazine covers and editorials and each and every one of them was equally  stunning , but this is ELLE Magazine and it doesn't matter if it's the South African version or not.

I can't believe that she hasn't graced the covers of any major American magazines, including Essence and Ebony with her growing popularity and fan base especially since they seem to go by those requirements when they consider cover subjects for their magazine covers. Oh well, it is what it is.

With Solange being the cover and editorial subject, she introduced an even bigger audience to several South African designers with these printastic looks.

So far the November magazines are celebrating some diversity on their covers: Halle Berry is on the cover of InStyle and Naomi Campbell is on the Cover of Harper's Bazaar Russia, Naomie Harris is on the cover of InStyle UK, Hunger Magazine and the October issue of G.Q. Turkey.

HER NAME IS SOLANGE! SOLANGE WOW'S IN ES MAGAZINE

It keep's getting better and just this morning I bemoaned the fact about how much I missed living in Germany and I log onto tumblr and see this gorgeous photo on EFF Yeah Solange's page I had to see more. Some of the international magazines have the best fashion editorials and even magazine covers for that matter because they don't feature celebrities ad nauseam like the American, British and Canadian do. Anyway, Solange Knowles is once again building up her portfolio with one fabulous editorial after another and this time she sizzles in the London Evening Standard's-ES Magazine in a gorgeous editorial.









Read it all here.

Cover Wars: Beyonce for Harper's Bazaar-November

I'm still hoping for a model who is working to grace the cover of some of the American fashion magazines. It's been over ten years in the making and I guess the current trend will continue. Anyway, Beyonce looks fabulous as always on any cover she's on.

The Best of the 2011 MET BALL

Last night's Costume Institute Gala Met Ball 2011 was supposed to be inspired by the work of Alexander McQueen, to me it was anything but. I wanted to see drama and the decadence that McQueen was known for as a designer and I hardly saw any of it.

Those who wore McQueen stayed true to form and I'm sure there were other women who were wearing McQueen that we didn't see due to the medias obsession with popular celebrities who we often see plastered all over the place.

Personally, I get tired of seeing the same people over and over again. Sure, some of those same celebrities who are guilty of this offense are featured in this photo, but they gave the event a little "wow" factor if nothing else.The Costume Institute Gala was often a must see event, now it's been hijacked by popular culture much like everything else has.
