The 13-year-old, seated at the same table as her world-famous parents, captivated everyone’s attention at the Grammy Awards.
On February 2, 2025, Blue Ivy Carter, daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, made a striking appearance at the Grammy Awards. Her outfit choice became a hot topic, sparking intense debates among fans.
Dressed in a stunning blue corset gown and adorned with a sparkling diamond necklace, Blue turned heads at the prestigious event. When her mother, Beyoncé, won Best Country Album for “Cowboy Carter,” Blue shared a heartfelt embrace with her, clearly proud of her mom’s achievement.
Later, she stood proudly beside Beyoncé as she accepted her first-ever Album of the Year award for “Cowboy Carter.” While the moment was special for the Carters, Blue’s attire drew mixed reactions from fans. Some admired her elegance, while others debated whether her dress was appropriate for her age.
One fan strongly disapproved, saying, “She’s too young for that.” Another echoed the sentiment, stating, “That dress is not okay for a 13-year-old.” Others remarked on her mature appearance, with one commenting, “Baby girl looks like a grown woman.”
Several people voiced concerns over her attire, arguing that children should dress according to their age. “Children should dress like children, not like adults,” one person remarked. Another added, “Poor girl, she’s just 13 years old.”
Someone else wondered aloud, “Why does that 13-year-old look like she’s in her late 20s?”
A different user was shocked, asking, “How old is Blue Ivy? Isn’t she 13? And she’s wearing an inappropriate dress with cleavage! 😮” Another fan expressed sadness, saying, “Blue Ivy looks older with all that makeup 😢 Like chill… let her enjoy her normal teenage life 🥺.”
However, not all responses were negative. Some fans praised her look, with one saying, “Love Blue Ivy’s dress! So pretty!” Another admired her elegance, commenting, “Absolutely beautiful. Effortlessly.”
Despite the heated debates, the night was undeniably special for the Carter family, with Beyoncé taking home two major Grammy awards. Taylor Swift had the honor of presenting the Best Country Album award to Beyoncé, marking a historic moment as she became the first Black woman to win in the category.

In her acceptance speech, Beyoncé expressed gratitude, saying, “I want to thank God, my family, my fans, and all the artists who collaborated with me on this album.” She also reflected on the music industry’s boundaries, adding, “Sometimes, genre is a cold word used to keep us in our place as artists.
I just want to encourage people to do what they are passionate about.”
Clearly overwhelmed, she admitted, “I’m still in shock. Thank you so much for this honor.”
Later, members of the Los Angeles Fire Department presented Beyoncé with the Album of the Year award. As she stood on stage with Blue Ivy beside her, she spoke from the heart about the significance of the moment.
In an interview afterward, she described the win as “very surreal” and expressed appreciation for the country music community, saying, “I am very grateful.”
She also reflected on her long journey in the industry, stating, “It’s been 25 years of working really hard, trying my best to keep growing, keep opening doors. I’m just very honored. And I’m happy that my daughter got to witness this.”
Beyoncé even made a lighthearted joke about Blue Ivy’s growth, playfully noting, “She’s taller than me. I don’t like it at all.” She then mentioned her youngest daughter, Rumi, who contributed to the album.
“Rumi, who’s on the album—my youngest daughter—she was watching, and I forgot to thank her. So I get to thank her now. Thank you, Rumi.”
Beyoncé has often spoken about the joys and challenges of raising her children, including Blue Ivy, Rumi, and Sir. She acknowledges that as they grow, their individuality becomes more pronounced. She sees parenthood as a journey of self-discovery, requiring patience and faith.
Balancing motherhood with her career, Beyoncé seamlessly integrates her children into her daily life. “They come with me to work—whether it’s the studio, dance rehearsals, or my office after school.”
This exposure has naturally allowed them to pick up her choreography and become immersed in her world. Despite the demands, she finds fulfillment in motherhood, calling it “both grounding and rewarding.”
Blue Ivy has embraced her mother’s creative world, often performing alongside her. During the “Renaissance World Tour,” she made waves as a dancer, performing with Beyoncé on stage.
Beyoncé shared her thoughts on this experience, saying, “Blue is an artist. She has great taste in music and fashion. She is a fantastic editor, painter, and actress. She has been creating characters since she was three. She’s a natural, but I did not want Blue onstage. Blue wanted it for herself.”
The proud mother emphasized that Blue had to earn her place as a dancer, taking her role seriously. “She worked hard for it. She had fun, but she also improved her skills every single night in front of thousands.”
Beyond performing, Blue has also ventured into acting. She is set to star as the voice of Kiara in “Mufasa: The Lion King,” a prequel to Disney’s “The Lion King.” At the Los Angeles premiere in December 2024, she stole the spotlight once again.
However, her glamorous red carpet appearance sparked yet another debate online, with some feeling her outfit made her look too mature for her age.
Blue dazzled in a strapless, voluminous metallic gold gown, radiating confidence. With manicured nails, glamorous makeup, and cascading curls, she exuded elegance, drawing inevitable comparisons to her superstar mother.
Standing proudly alongside her parents and grandmother, Tina Knowles, the young star basked in the moment, celebrating a major milestone in her budding career.
Beyoncé took to Instagram to honor her daughter’s achievement. “My gorgeous baby girl. This is your night. You worked hard, and you did such a beautiful job as the voice of Kiara. Your family could not be prouder. Keep shining.”
While Beyoncé beamed with pride, online discussions continued. Some questioned Blue’s look, with one user asking, “Why is a 12-year-old wearing a dress with push-up boob cups?” Another pointed out, “And a ton of makeup,” while a third commented, “And long nails 🤦🏻♀️.”
A fourth person remarked, “How old is Blue? She looks 20.” However, many others were in awe of her presence. “Blue Ivy is looking just like her mother. Wow!” one fan gushed. “Blue is beautiful!” another raved.
Social media was also abuzz with comments on her height, with many noting that she appeared taller than Beyoncé. Others admired her grace, comparing her poise to that of her mother. Many acknowledged her growth, calling her a “beautiful child.”
From the “Mufasa” premiere to her 2025 Grammys appearance, Blue Ivy has consistently captivated audiences. As she matures, her influence in the world of entertainment and fashion is sure to grow.
