Solange played muse to Vera Wang at the 2012 Runway to Win launch at Theory in New York City on Tuesday night. The 25-year-old singer was glowing in a patterned flowing gown while attending the fundraiser for President Obama with her mother Tina Knowles, who designed a shirt for the cause.

“Vera Wang is a true artist,” wrote Solange, who is signed to Next Model Management. “I feel so lucky to be her canvas, if just for this night.”

Solange strut down the catwalk at the Alberta Ferretti fashion show during Milan Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2012. The singer, whose favorite designers include DVF, Opening Ceremony, J. Crew, and Boxing Kitten, recently signed a modeling contract with Next Model Management.

In an interview with Vogue Italia, the new aunt spoke about becoming Rimmel’s first black spokesperson.

“I don’t by any means consider myself the most qualified for model material,” she told the magazine. “I think that people tend to respond to what is real. Black women carry that flame with so much ease and confidence. It is being captured and celebrated on all fronts in fashion now.”

Solange is finishing up her third album. “There are a lot of songs about sex,” she confessed to V magazine. “It’s the kind of record you put on when your man is coming over, when you’re with your girls. There are songs that make you wanna dance because we were kind of partying our way through the record, but it’s very chill.”

The ladies are taking charge this year. Cassie, JoJo, Solange, and V V Brown pop out from the pages of V magazine’s annual Music Issue. The singers were named “fearless females” by the fashion publication, going glam in the colorful close-ups photographed by Mick Rock. They each spoke out about their upcoming projects.

Cassie on her new sound and image: “In my video we called it ‘giving ’90s supermodel.’ It’s the perfect definition of who I am right now and what I’m going through. People aren’t going to expect me to come out with what I have.”

JoJo on being a voice for her generation: “I love Britney Spears and Madonna and Lady Gaga. I love pop music, those big pop records, but I still want it to feel like my sound. I hope people feel like, ‘Damn, that’s exactly what I’m going through, that’s what I’m thinking but I wasn’t sure how to put it into words.’ I want to sing what people are thinking and feeling. I want it to be the soundtrack to their lives.”

Solange on her new music: “My references for the record were all Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, not just their typical Janet and Prince stuff, but SOS Band and their b-sides with Chaka Khan. At first the songs were really dark because I had a premonition before the record that I was going to die. I was having panic attacks and wiling out.”

V V Brown on her sophomore album Lollipops and Politics: “My second album has a message: it’s about my generation and things going on in the world. But I didn’t want it to come across preachy. I love writing upbeat songs with darker undertones.”

While the birth of Blue Ivy Carter was the best experience of Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s lives, there are some who did not share their happiness. Solange took to Twitter to address those who had negative things to say about her sister.

After holding back, the “I Decided” singer broke her silence in a series of tweets. “It has really gotten out of hand,” she wrote. “I’ve been doing my best at keeping my mouth shut….but the ignorance is really sad and upsetting.”

Beyoncé has had to deal with her share of vicious rumors including reports that she faked her pregnancy. “It’s so ridiculous and over the top,” B told Katie Couric in a previous interview.

But Solange is not going to let her sister be maligned. “We are supposed to be super human and watch people we love get slandered, lied on, and ridiculed,” she continued. “It is one of THE hardest things to accept. In any other workplace…if someone directly tells your mother or sister is a liar and a fake ect…you would naturally express yourself.”

Despite the hate, she has chosen to focus on the positive. “However, the pure happiness and joy I’ve witnessed and experienced helps me to keep my mouth shut.”

The new aunt welcomed her newborn niece over the weekend. “The most beautiful girl in the world,” tweeted an overjoyed Solange. “In love. So THIS is what Aunty-hood feels like.”

Solange wants you to help cure blood cancer. The singer lends her star power to a PSA for DKMS to find a donor match for 18-year-old Kara and others who are suffering from leukemia, the number one disease affecting children in the U.S. As a registered donor herself, she encourages people to register to become a bone marrow donor at GetSwabbed.org.

“Since attending the DKMS gala couple of years ago, I have wanted to lend my support in any way I could. People are dying and we can save them. Patients like Kara could be cured with a bone marrow transplant,” stated the 25-year-old mother. “A lot of people don’t understand that it’s literally a cotton swab that determines if you’re a match. This can actually save someone’s life!”

Beyoncé squeezed in some family time with Solange over the weekend. The sisters grabbed a bite to eat at Buttermilk in Brooklyn on Sunday (Oct. 23). Mom-to-be B sported bangs and a colorful patterned dress under a black blazer, hiding her baby bump from cameras with a strategically placed white bag. Solange, whose son Julez just turned seven, wore a spotted trenchcoat and round sunglasses as she left the restaurant. It won’t be long before Julez will have a cousin and Solange will be an aunt.

The ladies got glamorous for a good cause. Solange, Eve, Estelle, Kim Kardashian, and Shontelle helped raise awareness for cancer research by attending the star-studded Angel Ball benefitting Gabrielle’s Angel Foundation at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City last night. Solange posed with her mother Tina Knowles, Eve rocked a red pantsuit with fur collar, and Estelle and Shontelle wore shades of green. The legendary Patti LaBelle provided the evening’s entertainment as Naomi Campbell and others were honored for their contributions to the fight against cancer.

JoJo lit up the red carpet in a fuchsia and red cocktail dress at the 9th Annual Teen Vogue Young Hollywood party at Paramount Studios in Hollywood last night. Her fellow 20-year-old Rye Rye brought some “Sunshine” while entertaining the chic crowd with music off her upcoming debut Go! Pop! Bang!, including her single “Never Will Be Mine.”

Solange, beaming in a yellow skirt, worked the ones and twos throughout the evening. Earlier in the day, she had a scare when she lost her bag containing her laptop and son’s passport. But she found it in time for the gig. “God is good! My bag was found at the police station! My driver left it in the parking lot!” she tweeted. “There are good people in the world!!!”

Solange reaches into the vault and shares “Favors,” a previously unreleased song that she wrote four years ago while recording SoL-AngeL and The Hadley St. Dreams. “You know I love you, I love being your girl, but please don’t do me any favors,” she tells her lover on the delicate piano-driven tune.

“‘Favors’ is no way related to my album,” tweeted Solange, who was recently in the studio with Pharrell and is currently mixing her third album.

Beyoncé and Solange spent some fashionable time together during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York City today. The smiling sisters were spotted front row at the J. Crew, Vera Wang, and Rodarte spring 2012 shows at Lincoln Center. A pregnant B glittered in gold, covering up her baby bump, while aunt-to-be Solange electrified in a pink top by Prabal Gurung for J. Crew. The day before, the older Knowles and husband Jay-Z watched Serbia’s Novak Djokovic defeat Spain’s Rafael Nadal at the U.S. Open men’s final.
