Y’all, Blue Ivy Carter is out here looking absolutely stunning and so grown! The 13-year-old daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z just showed up to support her grandmother Tina Knowles at the 27th Annual Angel Ball in New York City, and let me tell you – she looked elegant, poised, and every bit her mama’s daughter.
In a photo Beyoncé shared on Instagram, Blue Ivy was glowing in a pink shiny gown, complete with a diamond choker necklace and a pink feathery shawl. She snapped a sweet selfie with her grandma Tina, who was being honored with a philanthropy award that night. The resemblance to Beyoncé is striking – you can see that Carter-Knowles beauty running strong through the generations.
But what really gets me is how this young woman is being raised. Earlier this week, Tina Knowles appeared on the Sherri show and talked about how Blue Ivy has been performing for 70,000 people per night on tour with her mother. She emphasized that Blue wasn’t just handed these opportunities because of who her parents are – she’s been taught to work hard, to be humble, and to understand that being a good person matters more than anything else.
“You have to work for what you get,” Tina said. “Nobody’s going to just hand it to you because you are somebody’s daughter.”
And Blue Ivy is proving that. She’s performed on both the Renaissance World Tour and the Cowboy Carter tour, even dancing during Beyoncé’s NFL Christmas Day halftime show. She’s lent her voice to songs like “Brown Skin Girl” and voiced characters in movies like Mufasa: The Lion King.
This young sister has been dancing since she was five years old, and now she’s blossoming into her own while honoring her family’s legacy. It’s beautiful to see a young Black girl being raised with both opportunity and values, talent and humility. Blue Ivy Carter is the future, and she’s already shining bright.
