Blue Ivy Carter, Beyoncé’s 12-year-old daughter, turned heads with her stunning red carpet appearance. However, her outfit quickly became a topic of debate. While some praised her for exuding style and confidence, others took to social media, calling the dress “inappropriate” for someone her age.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z made a rare public appearance together to celebrate their daughter Blue Ivy’s big moment at the world premiere of Mufasa, a live-action prequel to The Lion King. This special occasion marked Blue Ivy’s debut as the voice of Kiara, the daughter of Beyoncé’s lioness character, Nala. The family walked the red carpet together, with Blue Ivy shining in the spotlight in a glamorous look.

Her stunning ballgown, with its golden, voluminous silhouette, showcased her growing sense of style and left fans and critics in awe. Blue Ivy’s presence at such a high-profile event highlighted her effortless confidence and grace as she steps into the spotlight.

Blue’s outfit quickly sparked online debate. Some critics argued that her attire was “inappropriate” for her age, with one comment stating, “THAT is 12 years old?! Stunning dress, but not for that age,” and another remarking, “Isn’t she only 12? The dress is a bit much for her age.”

Others questioned the grown-up style, with one user commenting, “She’s giving minor dressed as a grown woman. Can’t believe we have normalised this.” Many also expressed concern over Blue Ivy’s makeup, with one person saying, “I’m more concerned the amount of makeup she’s got on. This is tole mole for most 12 years old and dealing with the pandemic of make up and skin care and having Blue with so much make up that makes her look older than she is.”

While some were quick to criticize, others swiftly came to her defense, pointing out that ball gowns don’t have an age restriction and applauding Blue for her graceful appearance. One supporter commented, “Aww, baby Blue ain’t no baby anymore. She’s so beautiful!”

In February of this year, Blue Ivy Carter had already stirred significant reactions on social media with her recent outfit. Some users voiced their opinion that her attire at the 2024 Grammy Awards was “inappropriate” for her age.

Blue Ivy stole the spotlight at the 2024 Grammy Awards, wearing a stunning white gown designed by Vivienne Westwood that highlighted her growing sense of fashion. The 12-year-old fashionista-in-the-making completed her chic look with subtle makeup, silver earrings, a ring, and a delicate clutch bag.

For some fans, Blue Ivy’s elegant attire at the Grammys made it hard to believe she was only 12, sparking a wider debate about whether her clothing was appropriate for her age. “That dress is not for a 12-year-old child,” commented one person. Another user stated, “I don’t normally comment on stuff like this, but this is a 12-year-old child. A child does not need to look grown up with fake nails and makeup and cleavage. Let children be children, please.”
