But Solange Knowles is stepping out on her own in a funky fashion shoot for GQ's January issue - alongside New York bands Grizzly Bear, Blood Orange and Dirty Projector.
The 26-year-old DJ is pictured rocking a pretty polka dot skirt and top combo while clutching a microphone, and looks right at home next to the other underground musicians.
Rocking out: Solange Knowles features in an editorial entitled New Party Rules, in which she 'rewrites the standards of dressing for a party', in the January 2013 issue of GQ magazine
The article, entitled New Party Rules, is a New Year's Eve fashion special where the artists 'rewrite the standards on dressing for the party'.
Solange is in a Azzedine Alaia skirt and blouse, Jimmy Choo sandals and Jennifer Fisher jewellery and in the second shot, a sexy bra top.
The star is currently promoting her latest EP, True, and poses next to one of its producers, Devonte Hynes.
Beyonce is said to have given her full approval.

Solange,who has an eight year old son Julez, recently told Rap-Up.com: 'She actually came to the listening party that we had in New York and she’s been an incredible support for me embarking on this for two years.
'There’s been a lot of ups and a lot of downs and it’s just great to have that support and sisterhood, especially with someone who understands what it feels like to be an artist and all of the things that go along with that.
'It’s been wonderful.'

Solange has always been quick to point out though that her and Beyonce are not in competition with each other.
She previously told the Daily Mail: 'People think there should be this great rivalry between us, but there's never been any competition.
'There's a big age gap and we are two very different characters.'
