Solange Knowles shows off her funky, eclectic style in fashion magazine, Harper’s Bazaar this month. The New Orleans resident (after leaving her brownstone apartment in Brooklyn) kept it cute in a $12,500 Chanel dress, a Moshino jumpsuit and Ralph Lauren sweater dress shot by Julia Noni.
Bey’s fab little sister has isolated herself in Cajun country as she works on a new album.
"I figure there's no better way to buckle down and finish it than to be as far away from everyone as possible, cell phone and computer behind. I'm not very good at writing songs when I have a lot of clutter in my mind."
The 27-year old fashionista dished on following in her big sis Beyonce’s footsteps, her failed marriage with her childhood sweetheart Daniel Smith, her current relationship with video director Alan Ferguson and revealed whether she would let her son Juelz enter the entertainment industry.
Here are the highlights below:
On her following Beyonce’s footstep to become an entertainer:
"My parents constantly tried to talk me out of being an artist," she says. "They had gone through the whole journey with my sister and just wanted me to have a normal teenage life."On her failed relationship with her ex-husband Daniel Smith:
"In a lot of ways, emotionally and mentally, I feel far older than 27," she says. "Just going through a marriage and a divorce—which I essentially did by 21—will give you an insane amount of perspective on life.""We co-parent really well," she says. "I'm able to say, 'I need to finish this album, can you step up and take care of the boy?' "
On her fashion sense:
"You can pull images of me from seven to 14 years ago and I was absolutely nuts," she says. "I have always been drawn to interesting pieces and colors, but I didn't quite know how to limit myself and make those statement pieces work. It sounds silly, I know, but having space for my clothes made a huge difference. I was able to get organized, free myself of clutter, and develop a style that felt like me."On if she’d let her son Juelz get into the entertainment industry:
"It's certainly not what I have in mind for him," she says with a laugh. "I'm constantly trying to push him to work at the U.N., or be a diplomat. I try to convince him by explaining that he wouldn't have to wait in lines at the airport, and that he can park anywhere."On her relationship with video director Alan Ferguson:
"Luckily, I dated all of the losers ages ago. My love life has been stable for a while," she says, adding wryly, "It's a fucked-up thing—without conflict it's a lot harder to write interesting songs."

Karrueche Tran, Kyla Pratt and Kat Graham hit up The Dream Builders Project's "A Brighter Future For Children" Benefit at H.O.M.E. in Beverly Hills on yesterday.
A nicely tanned Kae was all smiles on the red carpet in a cute printed cropped bustier. Sunbathing really has her glowing.
"Let's Stay Together" actress Kyla Pratt (who became a mother for the 2nd time around in August) looked hot in an all white pants suit.
And actress Kat Graham kept it interesting in her pink and black ensemble.
