Jay-Z & Beyoncé’s Daughter Blue Ivy, 12, Appears with ‘A Ton of Makeup’ & ‘Long’ Nails at the Red Carpet, Igniting Buzz

Blue Ivy Carter has been turning heads alongside stylish celebrities, but her latest red-carpet look with her parents sparked fresh criticism from eagle-eyed netizens.

Blue Ivy wore a strapless, voluminous metallic gold gown that exuded elegance and poise. She completed the look with long manicured nails, glamorous makeup, and cascading curls — a regal style that naturally drew comparisons to her superstar mother.

Standing proudly alongside her parents, and grandmother Tina Knowles, the young star embraced the spotlight and celebrated a milestone in her blossoming career.

While Beyoncé shared her admiration, Blue Ivy’s red carpet appearance sparked mixed reactions online. One user wrote, “Why is a 12 year old wearing a dress with push up boob cups is all I’m asking [sic].” Another added, “And a ton of makeup,” while someone else commented, “and long nails 🤦🏻‍♀️ [sic].”

A fourth remarked, “How old is Blu? She looks 20.” Amid the criticism, many others expressed admiration for the young star’s appearance. “Blue ivy is looking like her mother wow 🥹🥹🥹🥹😳😳😳😳😳 [sic],” a fan gushed. “Blue is beautiful 😍,” another raved.

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.

Meanwhile, some users marveled at how grown-up Blue Ivy looked, noting how quickly time had passed since her birth. Others admired her height and beauty. Many admirers praised Blue Ivy’s appearance, with some highlighting how pretty she looked in her pink outfit.

The “7 Rings” artist wore a pink checkered-print gown paired with a light shawl fastened at the neck and sparkly silver heels. She accessorized with a matching hairbow, checkered gloves, and pearl earrings.

The original Glinda and Elphaba, famous actresses Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel, also attended the premiere, dazzling in their gold and black gowns.

The “Wicked” depicts a friendship between Elphaba, judged for her green skin, and Glinda, a popular figure.

From the “Wicked” to “Mufasa” premieres, Blue Ivy Carter’s red carpet appearances have sparked both conversation and admiration. As she matures, her influence in entertainment and fashion is sure to grow.
