Netizens have often commented on Blue Ivy’s fashion, including her look at the “Wicked” premiere on November 9.
Drawing inspiration from the signature color of one of the main characters in the film, Blue Ivy Carter donned a pink gown that not everyone felt was age-appropriate.

The $280.88 (£219) ankle-length garment was inspired by the Grecian Goddess of the Underworld and was made from luxe satin and stretch-crepe fabric. “Persephone” also came in various colors, such as black and white.
Completing her elegant look, Blue Ivy paired the garment with eye-catching metallic, heeled sandals, and accessorized with gold jewelry, that included layered necklaces and a few bracelets. She also carried a pink bag and left her dark-colored goddess braids hanging loosely over one shoulder and down her back.
Many felt that the young performer, who was born in January 2012 in New York via a scheduled C-section, looked too mature for her age. Some Instagram users felt that Blue Ivy’s outfit was “too much” for a 12-year-old, while others argued that the dress was improper for a child.
