Blue Ivy Carter is all grown up.
The look-alike teenage daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z spent her summer in the public eye, dancing alongside her superstar mom during the Cowboy Carter tour, but she traded her concert-friendly jeans and bustiers for a pink satin gown during an evening of glam in New York City.
And, while Blue Ivy is only 13, she looks just as elegant and poised as we would expect from the child of music royalty.
Stepping out for the 2025 Angel Ball at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City on Monday night, Blue Ivy looked beautiufl in a pink satin sleeveless gown with a pink feathered jacket hanging off her shoulders.

On her feet were pink velvet Fendi kitten heels; she chose a Lorraine Schwartz diamond choker with a drop pendant and diamond stud earrings, channeling true Old Hollywood glamour.
Blue Ivy was the guest of her grandmother, Tina Knowles, who was honored at the event, which raises money for blood cancer research.
Though Beyoncé wasn’t in attendance, she supported her mom and daughter by sharing Blue Ivy’s selfie of the pair from the evening on Instagram, captioning it, “Congrats Mom on your philanthropy award at the Angel Ball tonight ❤️.”
Tina had shared that same photo, writing, “With my Beautiful Blue at the Angel Ball tonight ❤️❤️❤️.”

Tina chatted with Sherri Shepherd earlier that day about her gorgeous granddaughter’s talent, sharing, “You have to be taught that. Kids don’t learn it from just an accident. You have to say to them, ‘It’s more important to be a good person.’ And that you got to work for what you get.”
“Nobody’s going to just hand it to you because you are somebody’s daughter or because they like you. You have to work hard,” she added.
Tina also spoke about her younger granddaughter Rumi’s stage debut, an adorable inclusion that quickly went viral. “The first night, she was so excited. People were making all these crazy comments. And Blue was like, ‘Rumi, you might need to calm it down.’”
Blue Ivy has already been included in Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour, danced during the NFL Christmas Day Halftime Show, and recorded on the track “Brown Skin Girl.” Now, it’s clear she’s swiftly coming into her own.
