Stepping away from the traditional red carpet, Blue Ivy Carter, the 12-year-old scion of the Carter family, made a striking debut at the 2024 Grammys.
Accompanied by her illustrious parents, Beyoncé and Jay-Z, Blue Ivy graced the stage with her father, who was honored with the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award.
The pre-teen chose to forego heels, opting for an off-the-shoulder white Vivienne Westwood midi dress that exuded sophistication. Complementing her fairytale-worthy attire were high-heeled white Larroude Dolly Boots ($475) and a matching clutch.
Jay-Z injected humor into the evening, playfully referring to the iconic gramophone trophy as a “sippy cup” for Blue, a nod to his 2014 acceptance speech. However, he was quick to acknowledge Blue Ivy’s growth, emphasizing that she no longer needs a sippy cup and has her own Grammys to showcase.
Meanwhile, in the audience, Beyoncé was a vision of style, donning a Louis Vuitton cowboy hat and a sequined shorts-and-blazer set, a personalized interpretation inspired by Pharrell’s recent runway.
The Grammys were just one highlight in Blue Ivy’s busy schedule, following months of accompanying her mother on the “Renaissance” tour. The young fashionista showcased her dance moves and graced the film premiere in London, where both she and Beyoncé elegantly donned black dresses.
While the Carter family wasn’t nominated at this year’s ceremony, it’s a reminder that Blue Ivy made history in 2021 as the second-youngest Grammy winner, securing the best music video trophy for the empowering “Brown Skin Girl” alongside her mother. The evening was a testament to Blue Ivy’s burgeoning presence in the world of music and style, affirming her status as a noteworthy figure in the entertainment industry.
