At just 13 years old, Blue Ivy Carter made a stunning appearance at the 2025 Grammy Awards, sitting at the same table as her world-famous parents, Beyoncé and Jay-Z. The young star, who has grown up in the spotlight, turned heads with her choice of outfit, sparking intense debates among fans and fashion critics alike.
Dressed in a breathtaking blue corset gown, Blue exuded elegance and confidence. She accessorized her look with a dazzling diamond necklace, making a bold statement on the red carpet.
As the night unfolded, Blue shared a heartfelt moment with her mother when Beyoncé was announced as the winner of Best Country Album for “Cowboy Carter.” The two embraced warmly, celebrating a significant milestone in Beyoncé’s legendary career.
Later in the evening, Blue proudly stood beside her mother as she accepted her first-ever Album of the Year award for “Cowboy Carter.” It was a historic win, marking Beyoncé’s continuous impact across multiple genres.
While the night was filled with triumphs, Blue’s gown became a hot topic online, with fans divided over whether it was appropriate for her age.
Some critics voiced their concerns, with one stating, “She’s too young for that dress.” Another added, “That dress is not okay for a 13-year-old.” Others echoed similar sentiments, questioning why she was dressed in a way that made her look much older than she actually was.
“Baby girl looks like a grown woman,” one fan commented. Another remarked, “Children should dress like children. They should not dress like women.”
Others were even more direct in their concerns. “How old is Blue Ivy??? Isn’t she 13? And she’s wearing an inappropriate dress with cleavage!” one user posted in shock. Another person shared, “Blue Ivy looks older with all this makeup. Let her enjoy her normal teenage life.”
However, not everyone was critical. Many fans came to Blue’s defense, praising her style and grace. “Love Blue Ivy’s dress! So pretty!” one supporter wrote. Another admirer gushed, “Absolutely beautiful. Effortlessly.”
Despite the mixed reactions, the evening was a monumental one for the Carter family. Taylor Swift had the honor of presenting Beyoncé with the award for Best Country Album, marking a groundbreaking moment as Beyoncé became the first Black woman to ever win in that category.

During her acceptance speech, Beyoncé expressed her gratitude to God, her family, her fans, and the many artists she collaborated with on the album. She also addressed the challenges of crossing genres, saying, “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 was still processing the historic win when she added, “I’m still in shock. Thank you so much for this honor.”
Later in the night, members of the Los Angeles Fire Department presented Beyoncé with the Album of the Year award, making history yet again. Blue stood proudly by her mother’s side as she gave another heartfelt speech.
When interviewed afterward, Beyoncé described the moment as “very surreal,” expressing deep appreciation for the love and acceptance she received from the country music community. “I am very grateful,” she said.
Reflecting on her decades-long journey in the industry, Beyoncé 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.” The singer also took a moment to joke about Blue’s growth spurt, laughing, “She’s taller than me. I don’t like it at all.”
She then gave a special shout-out to her youngest daughter, Rumi, who had 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 always been open about the joys and challenges of raising her three children, Blue Ivy, Rumi, and Sir. She has often shared how motherhood has shaped her, calling it a journey of self-discovery that requires patience and faith.
She integrates her children into her daily life, allowing them to be present at her rehearsals, recording sessions, and office work. This exposure has naturally drawn Blue Ivy into her mother’s creative world.
Blue, in particular, has already begun making her own mark. She has joined her mother on stage multiple times, including a standout performance during the “Renaissance World Tour.” Beyoncé revealed that Blue’s involvement was entirely her choice.
“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 young star proved her dedication, working hard to earn her spot as a dancer on the tour. “She took her role seriously,” Beyoncé said proudly. “She had fun, but she also pushed herself every night, and I loved seeing that growth.”
Beyond music and dance, Blue has also ventured into acting. She lent her voice to Disney’s “The Lion King” prequel, playing Kiara, the daughter of Simba and Nala. In December 2024, she attended the Los Angeles premiere of “Mufasa: The Lion King,” once again sparking conversations about her red carpet appearance.
Blue stunned in a strapless, voluminous metallic gold gown, paired with glamorous makeup, manicured nails, and cascading curls. Her regal look quickly drew comparisons to her mother, and while many admired her beauty, others felt the styling made her look older than she was.
Social media erupted with opinions. “Why is a 12-year-old wearing a dress with push-up boob cups? That’s all I’m asking,” one person wrote. “And a ton of makeup,” another added. “And long nails,” someone else commented in frustration. “How old is Blue? She looks 20,” another user remarked.
Despite the criticism, many fans were in awe of her elegance and grace. “Blue Ivy is looking like her mother, wow,” one person gushed. “Blue is beautiful,” another fan praised.
Many also expressed surprise at how tall she had grown, with several noting that she now appeared to be taller than Beyoncé. Others focused on her confidence, calling her “a beautiful child” and predicting that she would continue to make waves in entertainment and fashion.
From her debut at the “Mufasa” premiere to her eye-catching look at the 2025 Grammys, Blue Ivy Carter continues to capture attention wherever she goes. As she grows up in the public eye, one thing is certain—her influence in the entertainment and fashion world is just beginning.
