Blue Ivy Carter, the 13-year-old daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, made a bold fashion statement at the 2025 Grammy Awards on Sunday night at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The rising star dazzled in a strapless blue ballgown, accessorized with a necklace, hoop earrings, and a bracelet—an ensemble that quickly became a hot topic online.
While some praised Blue Ivy’s elegant style and growing star presence, others reignited the ongoing debate about whether her outfits are too mature for her age. This controversy comes just weeks after she faced similar scrutiny for wearing a strapless gold gown at the Los Angeles premiere of Mufasa: The Lion King in December.
At the time, Beyoncé proudly defended her daughter, sharing a heartfelt Instagram post:
“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.”
Despite the mixed reactions, Blue Ivy continues to make waves in both music and fashion, solidifying her status as a next-generation icon. As she explores a career in entertainment, all eyes remain on the young star and her evolving style.
