At just 13 years old, Blue Ivy Carter made a dazzling appearance at the 2025 Grammy Awards on February 2, seated alongside her world-famous parents, Beyoncé and Jay-Z. Her elegant outfit became one of the biggest talking points of the night, sparking intense debates among fans.
Blue stepped onto the red carpet in a stunning blue corset gown, paired with a sparkling diamond necklace that added to her sophisticated look.
When her mother, Beyoncé, won Best Country Album for “Cowboy Carter,” Blue was the first to embrace her in a heartfelt hug, sharing a special mother-daughter moment in front of the cameras.
Later in the evening, she proudly stood by Beyoncé’s side as the iconic singer accepted her first-ever Album of the Year award for “Cowboy Carter.” It was a historic moment, but Blue’s appearance continued to stir strong opinions online. Some fans admired her elegant look, while others felt her outfit was not appropriate for her age.
“She’s too young for that,” one fan commented firmly. Another echoed the sentiment, saying, “That dress is not okay for a 13-year-old.” One person observed, “Baby girl looks like a grown woman.”
Others felt that children should dress their age. “Children should dress like children. They should not dress like women,” one person wrote. Another expressed concern, saying, “Poor girl, she’s just 13 years old.”
The discussions didn’t stop there. One user questioned, “How old is Blue Ivy??? Isn’t she 13? And she’s wearing an inappropriate dress with cleavage! 😮” Another added, “Blue Ivy looks older with all this makeup😢 Like chill… let her enjoy her normal teenage life 🥺.”
However, not everyone was critical. Some fans showered Blue with praise, celebrating her confidence and style. “Love Blue Ivy’s dress! So pretty!” one supporter wrote. Another admired her striking appearance, saying, “Absolutely beautiful. Effortlessly.”
Despite the mixed reactions, the night was undeniably special for the Carters. Beyoncé took home two major Grammy awards, marking another milestone in her legendary career.
Taylor Swift had the honor of presenting the Best Country Album award, making history as Beyoncé became the first Black woman to win in the category.
During 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,” she said, emphasizing the importance of artistic freedom.

When she was announced as the Album of the Year winner, Beyoncé was visibly surprised. “I’m still in shock. Thank you so much for this honor,” she said, smiling as she clutched her award.
The Los Angeles Fire Department had the privilege of presenting the award to her, adding an unexpected and touching moment to the evening. Blue stood proudly by her mother’s side as she accepted the prestigious honor.
When asked later how she felt about the win, Beyoncé described it as “very surreal,” adding, “I am very grateful.”
Reflecting on her long journey in the music industry, 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.”
She then playfully mentioned Blue’s growth spurt. “She’s taller than me. I don’t like it at all!” she joked. Beyoncé also took a moment to acknowledge her youngest daughter, Rumi. “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.”
Over the years, Beyoncé has been open about her parenting journey, embracing both the challenges and joys of raising her children. She acknowledges that as Blue, Rumi, and Sir grow older, their unique personalities shine through even more.
Balancing motherhood and her career has been no easy feat, but Beyoncé has found a way to integrate her children into her daily life. She revealed that they often accompany her to the studio, dance rehearsals, and even her office after school.
This exposure has naturally drawn them into her creative world, with Blue, in particular, showing a keen interest in music, fashion, and performance.
Blue has already made waves in the entertainment industry. During the “Renaissance World Tour,” she stunned audiences by joining her mother on stage as a dancer. Beyoncé reflected on this moment, sharing, “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 explained that Blue had to earn her place as a dancer on tour. “She took it seriously, and she worked hard for it,” Beyoncé said. “She had fun, but at the same time, she improved every night in front of thousands of people.”
Blue is also stepping into the world of voice acting. In December 2024, she attended the Los Angeles premiere of “Mufasa: The Lion King,” where she lent her voice to Kiara, the daughter of Simba (voiced by Donald Glover) and Nala (voiced by Beyoncé) in Disney’s highly anticipated prequel.
Her red carpet look at the premiere caused another online debate. She wore a strapless, voluminous metallic gold gown, complemented by glamorous makeup, long manicured nails, and cascading curls. The regal look drew comparisons to her mother’s signature style.
Beyoncé took to Instagram to celebrate Blue’s achievement, sharing a heartfelt message: “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 celebrated her daughter’s success, social media erupted once again with 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.” Others chimed in, commenting on her mature look: “How old is Blue? She looks 20.”
Yet, many fans defended her, praising her confidence and beauty. “Blue Ivy is looking like her mother. Wow!” one fan gushed. Another added, “Blue is beautiful.”
People also couldn’t stop talking about how tall Blue had grown. Some were surprised to see that she now stood nearly at Beyoncé’s height, while others admired her elegance, poise, and the natural grace she seemed to inherit from her mother.
From the “Mufasa” premiere to her stunning look at the 2025 Grammys, Blue Ivy Carter continues to make headlines. As she grows, her influence in the entertainment and fashion industries is only expected to expand.
Whether she’s on the red carpet, on stage, or behind the mic, one thing is certain—Blue Ivy Carter is a star in the making.
