Beyonce Knowles tried to warn her younger sister Solange that getting into the showbiz can probably cause her a lot of pressure which is might be too much for Solange to be able to deal with.
The American R&B singer, who has revealed that she is very protective of her 22-year-old- sister, is concerned about Solange going into the entertainment business as it might be beyond her ability in coping with any pressure in the busy show business.
Beyonce Knowles told InStyle magazine, “I didn’t want her to go into the entertainment business. This industry involves a lot of pressure.”
However, Solange has already started her music career and Beyonce couldn’t help keeping a keen eye on her.
“I am so lucky to have her. We talk on the phone all night. I’ve been at all of her video shoots, even the ones that take 28 hours,” the 27-year-old singer added.
Meanwhile, Beyonce has recently been on a cover in the November issue of InStyle Magazine.
Style Icons
“Charlize Theron is always beautiful and feminine. I love her couture looks and dramatic silhouette. Halle Berry is elegant and sophisticated. I love that in the seventies Cher and Diana Ross looked like superstars and never played it safe. When they were onstage, they gave you drama-and I love drama.”
Pre-Superstar Style
“Growing up, I was a tomboy. I refused to carry a purse and wouldn’t wear a dress. That was the eighties and it was all about the hip-hop influence-baggy jeans and big shirts. [Her mother, Tina Knowles] hated it! But then I started singing and ended up watching all of the footage of the Supremes and Tina Turner. And I thought to myself, ‘They’re so beautiful. I want to be like them.’”
Must-Have Accessory
“I’m not dressed unless I have earrings on, like big hoops. I’ve always worn big earrings. Off the red carpet, I don’t really feel comfortable with many rings and bracelets on. I love earrings though.”
Designer Obsessions
“Alexander McQueen and Jean Paul Gaultier are two designers I love right now. Their clothes are feminine, sexy and modern. I just went to the Giuseppe Zanotti showroom, and he had the most spectacular shoes. It was like being in a candy store-I was obsessed with every shoe! Right now, I love anything with a high platform.”
Off-Camera Style
“I’m a lot more conservative in my personal life. But even when I’m dressed down, I wear a nice shirt, nice jeans and stilettos. Even when I go on vacation, where no one’s going to see me, I enjoy picking out new clothes, bathing suits and accessories. I do it for myself because I enjoy fashion. It makes me feel like me.”
Latest Look
“I was going to do the shorter hair [for her new album] that I had when I performed with Tina Turner at the Grammys earlier this year, which I loved. But I’ve decided to wear my hair straight instead. I’ve had so many different hairstyles, and I don’t want this project to be about my hair. With my makeup, I was doing a lot of liquid liner before. Now I’m into a gold smoky eye and natural-tone lip.”
