Solange Knowles is Lucky's cover girl for August, and she talks about getting into trouble.

When she was a child, she was allowed to express herself through her clothes, but there was one time her father had to put his foot down, the singer tells Lucky.

"He worked a super-corporate job," she said. "And naturally he just wanted us to look nice, and six-year-old me came out in a tutu and tap shoes. He said, 'No. Not this time.' It was the first situation where he really gave me a look and sent me to my room. He was upset. It was a big deal."

Knowles also talked about the infamous elevator moment that shed negative light on herself, Beyoncé and Jay Z.

She was interviewed for Lucky a mere two weeks after TMZ released the leaked elevator footage, where Knowles yells at and hits her brother-in-law. The singer prefers not to linger on the topic and refers to it as "that thing."

"What's important is that my family and I are all good," she said to the publication. "What we had to say collectively was in the statement that we put out, and we all feel at peace with that."

In the article, the singer also explained that, growing up, she and Beyoncé were exposed to Motown musicians, but that she wanted to go a different path.

Solange Knowles planned to go to Julliard, but in 1999, her plans changed when her sister needed her to fill in for a backup dancer that was pregnant.

"I had no idea how to dance hip-hop at the time," she said. "I was trained in classical ballet! But it sounded chill and I was going to make a little weekly check and be with my whole family, so I said okay."
