Two thirds of Destiny’s Child plus one sister, were back together again as Beyonce and Mama Tina showed up to the J&R Music Festival to show their support for Michelle Williams and Solange Knowles, who were both making their solo debuts at the event. Held in City Hall Park, the festival attracted a large crowd of about 5,000 people, who also showed up to see Terrence Howard and festival veteran, Lyfe Jennings, perform as well. Beyonce kept a low profile as her sister and fellow bandmate rocked the New York City crowd and most of the financial district. Anyone who has been to this festival knows the coolest place to watch is actually from the office buildings windows, which are usually crowded with people sneaking away from their cubicles to get a glance at the musicians performing.

Brown Sista celebs like Keri Hilson and Solange have been sporting this style since last winter. It’s no wonder that other celebs like Ashanti, Rihanna, Eve, Lauren London, and others joined in on the style craze. Peep-toe booties are both funky and fab. So, to help you stay on top of your style game this fall, without breaking the bank, I’ve added a few reasonably priced selections…

Solo was recently spotted out and about in London. She wore a strapless French Connection ‘Wizard’ dress, with trendy two-tone booties and a Fendi ‘Radica’ bag, retailed at $1,140. Lauren wore the same strapless bubble dress, with funky black laced-up Givenchy booties, at this year’s BET Awards.
* Who do you think wore it best?

Designer Georgio Armani announced today that singer-songwriter Solange Knowles would be their new Global Ambassador for Armani Jeans. Global Ambassador- sounds like a fancy way of calling the sista a spokesperson. This reminds me of the time my friend referred to her laundry room as a fabric care center (lol). Anyway- Solange’s duties as Global Ambassador include wearing the jeans while promoting her album during her European promotional tour, which is due to kick off in early September. Giorgio Armani said in a statement about the singer, “Armani Jeans expresses my vision of a young, independent, casual lifestyle with a strong and cool fashion sensibility. Solange epitomizes this style perfectly and brings to it that swing so evident in her new single, I Decided.

Singers Keyshia Cole, Mary J. Blige and Rihanna, were just a handful of Brown Sistas who converged on New Orleans over the weekend for the 2008 Essence Music Festival. The festival, which is now in it’s 14th year, is probably best known for it’s stellar line-up of musical acts, but the three day event also draws hordes of fans who show up for the dance workshops and panel discussions, which draw non musical celebrities like Bill Cosby and Dr. Cornell West. Music however is the force that binds this festival together and as in year’s past, well established and not so well established acts shared the same stage and received equal billing.

R&B songbird, Keyshia Cole, was spotted @ Mr. Chow, making a glamorous entrance at the Interscope and A&M records “Creme of the Crop” BET Awards afterparty.
She looked super-cute, and summer-ready in this colorful number. I’m sort’a tired of seeing the whole high-waisted pants trend, but Keyshia def pulled off the look — rocking a tucked-in flowy yellow tube top, hot pink belt and mary-jane pumps, with a Louis Vuitton Monogram Multicolor ‘Speedy 30′ bag, [valued a $2,170]. And, she topped it all off with a bright blue eye shadow. I love it!
