The Knowles sisters made their way through France's Nice airport. Beyonce and Solange were headed out to the 2008 World Music Awards. On Mrs. Carter's feet are blue sole round-toe Yves Saint Laurent Trib Two platform pumps - the very ones Jennifer Lopez famously wore before at the Marc Jacobs Spring 2009 fashion show.



Solange walked the red carpet in a white/grey tiered chiffon dress while Beyonce Sasha Fierce performed "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)" in bronze Extreme Dior gladiator sandals.



Fresh off her appearance at the 2008 MTV Europe Awards, Estelle attended the 2008 World Music Awards. On her feet are purple suede Giuseppe Zanotti platform sandals - the very pair Ciara rock for her nude "Vibe" magazine cover. Estelle quickly changed into another outfit that showcase her Pierre Hardy moire velvet sandals that Nia Long and Mary J Blige previously wore. (Thanks FabMania!)

Close friends/actresses Sanaa Lathan and Nia Long have signed on to voice roles for FOX's animated series, "The Cleveland Show." The series is the urban take of "Family Guy."



Check out the hoopla from the Black Voices Blog: Lathan, who starred in films such as 'Brown Sugar' and 'Love & Basketball' will play Cleveland's wife, Donna, while Long, who starred in last season's ABC drama series 'Big Shots,' will voice the character of rebellious stepdaughter Roberta.

Sanaa and Nia worked together on "The Best Man" and they also appeared on the cover of "Essence" magazine with Gabrielle Union. These two have always been selective with their acting roles so I'm interested to see how the show goes on with them signed on.
