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.
