At just 13 years old, Blue Ivy Carter shined at the 2025 Grammy Awards, sitting at the same table as her famous parents, Beyoncé and Jay-Z. She looked absolutely stunning during the award ceremony, but her outfit choice became the center of a heated debate among fans.

Later in the evening, she proudly stood by Beyoncé’s side when the superstar won her first-ever Album of the Year award for “Cowboy Carter.” It was a moment of joy and pride for the Carter family, but not everyone was talking about the wins—many were focused on Blue’s dress.

Fans had mixed reactions. Some admired her style and grace, while others felt her dress was not appropriate for her age. “She’s too young for that,” one person commented. Another agreed, writing, “That dress is not okay for a 13-year-old.”

Many echoed similar thoughts. “Baby girl looks like a grown woman,” one user observed.

Some fans strongly felt that Blue should dress more like a child. “Children should dress like children. They should not dress like women,” one person wrote. Another commented, “Poor girl, she’s just 13 years old.”

Others were shocked at how mature she appeared. “Why does that 13-year-old look like she’s in her late 20s?” someone questioned.

Another critic pointed out, “How old is Blue Ivy? Isn’t she 13? And she’s wearing an inappropriate dress with cleavage! 😮” A different fan added, “Blue Ivy looks older with all this makeup😢 Like chill… let her enjoy her normal teenage life 🥺.”

However, not everyone was critical. Many praised Blue’s appearance, celebrating her elegance. “Love Blue Ivy’s dress! So pretty!” one fan wrote. Another called her look “absolutely beautiful. Effortlessly.”

Despite the mixed opinions online, the evening was unforgettable for the Carter family. Beyoncé made history when Taylor Swift presented her with the award for Best Country Album, marking the first time a Black woman had ever won in the category.

In her acceptance speech, Beyoncé expressed her gratitude: “Sometimes, genre is a cold word to keep us in our place as artists, and I just want to encourage people to do what they are passionate about.”

Still processing the moment, she added, “I’m still in shock. Thank you so much for this honor.”

Later, when the Los Angeles Fire Department presented her with the Album of the Year award, Beyoncé beamed with pride, having Blue by her side. She called the win “very surreal” and thanked the country music community for embracing her. “I am very grateful,” she said.

Reflecting on her long journey in music, she shared, “It’s been 25 years of working really hard and trying my best to keep growing, keep opening doors. So, I’m just very honored, very honored. And I’m happy that my daughter got to see that.”

Beyoncé also shared a lighthearted moment about Blue’s growth. “She’s taller than me. I don’t like it at all,” she joked. Then she took a moment to acknowledge her youngest daughter, Rumi, who had contributed to the “Cowboy Carter” 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 always been open about her experiences as a mother, embracing both the challenges and joys of raising Blue, Rumi, and Sir. She acknowledges that as her children grow, their individuality becomes more pronounced.

“Parenting is a journey of self-discovery, requiring patience and faith,” she has said. She views motherhood as grounding and deeply fulfilling, seamlessly integrating her children into her career.

Her kids often join her at work, whether in the studio, at dance rehearsals, or in her office after school. This exposure has naturally allowed them to absorb her artistry. “They pick up the choreography, they watch everything. It’s just part of our life,” she shared.

Blue, in particular, has embraced her mother’s creative world. During Beyoncé’s “Renaissance World Tour,” she danced on stage beside her mom, winning over fans worldwide. Beyoncé later admitted, “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.”

She proudly added that Blue took her role as a dancer seriously, earning her spot through hard work and determination. “She had fun, but she also worked hard every night. It was beautiful to see her grow.”

Beyond dancing, Blue is also a voice actor. In December 2024, she stole the spotlight at the Los Angeles premiere of “Mufasa: The Lion King,” where she voices Kiara, the daughter of Simba and Nala. Her dazzling appearance at the event quickly sparked another debate online.

Dressed in a strapless, voluminous metallic gold gown, Blue exuded elegance and confidence. She completed her look with manicured nails, glamorous makeup, and cascading curls—her regal style immediately drawing comparisons to her superstar mother.

Beyoncé took to Instagram to share her pride: “My gorgeous baby girl. This is your night. You worked hard and did such a beautiful job as the voice of Kiara. Your family could not be prouder. Keep shining.”

However, just like at the Grammys, her red carpet look sparked mixed reactions. “Why is a 12-year-old wearing a dress with push-up boob cups? That’s all I’m asking,” one person questioned. Another added, “And a ton of makeup.” Someone else noted, “And long nails 🤦🏻‍♀️.”

A different user remarked, “How old is Blue? She looks 20.” Yet, despite the criticism, many others gushed over her beauty and grace. “Blue Ivy is looking just like her mother—wow! 🥹🥹🥹,” one fan commented. Another simply wrote, “Blue is beautiful 😍.”

Many social media users expressed surprise at Blue’s height, noting that she seemed taller than her mother. Others praised her elegance and poise, comparing her natural grace to Beyoncé’s.

From the “Mufasa” premiere to her 2025 Grammys appearance, Blue Ivy Carter continues to captivate audiences with her fashion, talent, and presence. As she grows, her influence in entertainment and style is only beginning to take shape.
