Blue Ivy Carter is growing up rather beautifully. Beyoncé and Jay-Z's firstborn wowed everyone when she graced the red carpet for the Mufasa: The Lion King premiere wearing a gold metallic ball gown by Christian Siriano. Blue voices Kiara in the live-action film, which hits theaters on December 20.

Blue is probably one of the most famous celebrity kids on the planet, thanks to having legendary and multi-talented parents, Beyoncé and Jay-Z. People don’t always get to see the 12-year-old, but when she pops out, it’s always a moment. In 2022, the young fashionista attended game 5 of the NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics, along with her father, Jay-Z. And when the announcer acknowledged the “Empire State of Mind” artist at the game, all eyes were zoomed in on Blue.


Folks on social media were shocked at how big she’s gotten and how much she looked like her mother. The oldest of the Carter kids wore her hair in natural curls that framed her face, which a Twitter user used to make a side-by-side photo with Blue and Beyoncé in a similar curly hairstyle. But this is just one of many moments that Blue stole the spotlight from her parents and others. Here are some of the cutest Blue moments.

2023 Renaissance World Tour

Last year, she had everyone talking when she joined her mother, Beyoncé, on stage during her Renaissance World Tour. Blue performed alongside the dancers to Bey's songs "My Power" and "Black Parade" from The Lion King: The Gift soundtrack.

The proud mom shared a beautiful message to her daughter after the showstopping performance. "My beautiful first born 🙏🏾 I’m so proud and thankful to be your mama. You bring us so much joy, my sweet angel," the "Cuff It" singer wrote.

Blue's grandmother Tina Knowles Lawson also raved over her performance and posted a clip from it. "Last night I saw my beautiful grandbaby (11) dance in the front of almost 70 thousand people ! She killed it and was as cool as a cucumber! Blue Ivy Carter ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ No Fear❤️❤️," she wrote.

2022 Oscars

Beyoncé opened the Oscars with a performance of “Be Alive” from the King Richard soundtrack and while the singer captivated audiences like she always does, it was Blue’s surprise appearance that had everyone talking. The Grammy award-winner was a backup dancer for her mommy and she proved that she had moves just like her too.

'The Lion King' Premiere

Blue walked the red carpet with the “Yonce” star at The Lion King premiere in July 2019. Beyoncé voiced Nahla in the live-action remake and brought her daughter along to watch the beloved film. The mother-daughter duo wore matching Alexander McQueen outfits but Blue stole the show with her bejeweled two buns and braids.

60th Grammy Awards

The Carters attended the 60th Grammy Awards as a family and had front-row seats to all the action. While Bey and Jay wore all black, their daughter, who was six years old at the time, wore all white. Social media went into a frenzy after noticing Blue’s facial expressions. One of her most meme-worthy moments was when she was quieting her parents.

2014 VMAs

The 2014 VMAs were all about Beyoncé but that was until Blue took to the stage. The Ivy Park founder received the MTV VMA Video Vanguard award and gave an unforgettable performance. Jay and Blue had the pleasure of presenting the queen with her award and Blue adorably took over the mic yelling “yay mommy” while continuously clapping.

Let This Valentine's Day Be When You Write Him A 'Sex Love Letter'

Know what I’m old enough to remember? MCI phone cards. Billing phone calls to third numbers. Beepers. Two-ways. A life without cell phones (let alone smartphones) and the internet. So, you know what all of this meant, right? Communication, especially communication with a bae, was oftentimes expensive and/or challenging, and, especially if it was a long-distance situation, it required that you be prepared to write at least a few letters from time to time.

Now? Well, let me put it this way: When’s the last time that you sat down to handwrite a grocery list, let alone a love letter? Oh, please believe that I am pointing the finger at myself too because, these days, even I attempt to jot down a quick message in a greeting card, I think about how stellar my father’s penmanship was and I’m damn near mortified in comparison…all because I don’t handwrite things, nearly as much as I should. SMDH.
