7 Reasons Solange Is the Coolest Aunt Blue Ivy Could Ever Ask For

Solange is a woman of many talents. As a singer, songwriter, model, and actress, Beyoncé's baby sister has successfully carved out an impressive career for herself. One of the titles Solange seems to wear proudest is being an aunt to 4-year-old Blue Ivy. "My twin, my fellow sassy pants, my dancing partner, my incredibly smart, beautiful, niece-y-poo," Solange wrote on her Instagram account about the adorable Carter heir. From her impeccable fashion sense to her eclectic taste in music, here are seven supercool reasons Blue Ivy should feel lucky to have Solange as an aunt.

Creative, uninhibited, spunky, and confident are just a few words that come to mind when you think of Solange, and her carefree nature seems to be rubbing off on Blue. One could only imagine the amount of fun they have together!

In between running her own record label, recording new music, and DJing at major events, Solange is also a great mom to her 12-year-old son, Julez. Since becoming a mother at the age of 18, the "True" singer proved that early motherhood was not going to stop her from pursuing all of her dreams, which makes her an even greater role model for Blue.

Just looking at these photos of Solange from her wedding day in 2014 is more than enough proof that the Houston, TX, native is most likely the life of any party she attends. Sleepovers at Auntie Solange's house are probably the closest thing to heaven for princess Blue.

She Encourages Blue to Be Unapologetic

In this fierce photo Solange shared on her Instagram account, it is clear that Blue Ivy is a child destined to be a star. Solange boasted about Blue's hands-on approach to selecting the perfect edit and selections to post, which means she's a already true boss — just like her aunt.

Over the last six years, Solange has been spinning tunes as a DJ for public and private events. As a hip-hop and R&B fan, she doesn't seem like the kind of aunt who'll turn her nose up whenever Blue requests to listen to the latest hits in the car.

Her Wardrobe Is to Die For

If you haven't been following Solange's bold style evolution, you've been missing out. Whether she's decked out in designer clothing or thrifty threads, she knows how to rock the hell out of any getup (and in every color). Beyoncé's closet is incredible too, but something tells us Blue will be itching to get her hands on pieces from Solange's wardrobe the most.

07

She Puts Family First

After 2014's elevator-gate, Solange continued to remain loyal to her family regardless of rumors circling in the press. Growing up, she was always on call as a backup dancer for Destiny's Child and has proven to be not only a dependable sister, but also a true best friend to Bey. That bond she has with her big sister could be an example of the incredible bond she is building with Blue. What more could a niece ask for?
