Beyoncé’s Daughter, Blue Ivy, 12, Flaunts a Scarf Top, Looking ‘Just Like’ Her Mom: Debated Pics

Bringing style to the streets of Beverly Hills, the 12-year-old daughter of music moguls Beyoncé Knowles-Carter and Jay-Z Carter, looked beautiful in a blue denim look. Fans who saw the famous tween cannot stop gushing over how much she resembles her mother, who previously wore a similarly styled top.

For her day out, Blue sported denim cargo pants and fashioned a white scarf into a strapless top. She paired her cool ensemble with white and blue Jordan 1s designed by Nike and draped a denim jacket over her forearms.

The budding young performer accessorized with a gold necklace, gold earrings, trendy shades, and a chic mini blue purse. According to media outlets, Blue wore the outfit while she was spending time with her friends at Cipriani.

Online observers, who saw the photos of Blue in her denim and scarf top getup, took to social media to marvel at how much the young lady looks like Beyoncé.

“She looks so much like mom Beautiful girl ❤️,” swooned a fan on Instagram. Echoing the sentiment, another reiterated, “She looks beautiful looks just like her mom.”

Jumping on the mother-daughter lookalike bandwagon, someone on X penned, “As someone who doesn’t know much about [Beyoncé] and [Blue Ivy], I literally thought it was some young [Beyoncé] pic .”

Similarly, another expressed, “She looks so much like [Beyoncé] .” “She’s out here looking like Beyoncé’s twin ,” echoed someone else.

On the other hand, some people focused on Blue Ivy’s outfit, debating whether they thought it was appropriate or not for a 12-year-old. “A bit inappropriate for a [13-year-old] to dress like that, you have your whole life ahead, why rush [?]” stated a spectator who got Blue Ivy’s age wrong.

Responding to a news outlet’s headline of Blue Ivy’s day out with friends, which said she is “all grown up,” an Instagrammer asserted, “Can we not refer to underage kids as ‘all grown up’? It’s weird.”

“Looking way older than her actual age..” added an X user. However, defending Blue Ivy’s choice of attire, an admirer praised, “Cute and [age-appropriate]. Love to see it.”

Not only does Blue Ivy resemble her iconic mom’s physical features, but, judging by a throwback photo of Beyoncé from her Destiny’s Child era, Blue is emulating her mom’s style as well.

Nostalgic photos from Destiny’s Child’s performance in London in 2000 show a young Beyoncé Knowles-Carter wearing a scarf as a top, just like her daughter was recently seen doing.

Like the “Single Ladies” singer, Blue Ivy Carter is no stranger to causing an online commotion with her fashions. Before the recent buzz about her scarf top ensemble, Blue Ivy ignited a flurry of comments with the denim outfit she wore at the iHeartRadio Music Awards earlier this year (2024), which she attended with both her mom and dad.

Dressed in a chic denim corset paired with matching jeans and black heels, Blue Ivy stood out with her mature and stylish ensemble among the star-studded attendees.

Her stunning outfit was enhanced by a fresh, curly hairdo that added elegance and a sense of newness to her appearance. On TikTok, a fan exclaimed, “Immaculate!!” while another commented, “[Omg] blue is breathtakingly beautiful. Another noted, “I didn’t even recognize her.”

However, on Instagram, some fans expressed reservations about Blue Ivy’s ensemble. “She dresses too grown,” one commented. “Wearing a cleavage-showing outfit at 12 years old? What?” questioned another. One upset user insisted, “Dress her like a 12-year-old.”

Despite the negative remarks, other fans gushed over Blue Ivy’s style. Over Twitter, some users discussed the young star’s impressive ensemble. “Can we talk about Blue tho!!? That denim outfit,” a fan tweeted. “Look at Blue Ivy with the curls in!!” another reacted with awe.

Another supporter exclaimed, “Blue Ivy is rocking this two-piece denim outfit,” while another remarked, “I did not even realize that was blue [in] denim…she looks so good.”

On that same evening, Beyoncé elegantly dressed in an all-black cowboy-inspired ensemble, enhanced with shiny gold accents. Jay-Z complemented his wife’s look, also opting for an all-black outfit.

Beyoncé received the Innovator Award and expressed deep gratitude towards her family in her acceptance speech, particularly acknowledging her husband and children as her inspiration.

“I thank you from the bottom of my heart, my husband, my rock, my best friend. I love you. My three beautiful children who continue to be my inspirations and my biggest blessing. Have a beautiful night, and thank you so much,” Beyoncé said.

Blue Ivy’s appearance at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, where she stunned the audience with her fashion choice, marks yet another milestone in her emergence as a youthful fashion icon. This followed her glamorous display at the Grammy Awards on February 4—an event that elicited some critiques of her style.

Blue Ivy looked radiant in an elegant off-the-shoulder gown, which showed off her collar bones. She paired her chic ensemble with light makeup, silver earrings, a ring, and a dainty clutch bag.

Though the young star on the rise looked beautiful in the pictures of her with her mogul parents and other celebrities, some people did not agree with what she wore.

Of Blue Ivy’s dress, one social media user asserted, “Not age appropriate at all!” Similarly, another expressed, “That dress is not for a [12-year-old] child.” Someone else questioned, “Why is Blue’s cleavage showing?”

Another Instagrammer who agreed with the inappropriateness of the dress said, “She’s 12 looking 18.” However, other people complimented Blue Ivy’s appearance, citing that she looked great.

In this regard, one fan praised, “She is adorable and looks so poised .” Another called her “so gorgeous.” Speaking of the gown, an Instagrammer gushed, “The dress is cute!!! I prefer this rather than baggy jeans and XL t-shirts!”

Blue Ivy’s appearance at the Grammys is not her first association with the prestigious event. A few years ago, the young performer made history when she became the second-youngest individual to win a Grammy for her mom’s music video “Brown Skin Girl,” as Blue Ivy was given writing credit for the track.

Although Blue Ivy has already begun establishing herself as a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry, her loving parents haven’t pushed her into pursuing careers like their own.

In a past interview, doting dad Jay-Z clarified that what is important to him and Beyoncé when raising their children is ensuring they “provide a loving environment” and “be very attentive to who they want to be.”

Jay-Z said, “It’s easy for us, as human beings, to want our children to do certain things, but we have no idea. We’re just guides.”

The business mogul, who wants the best for his beloved children, was honored with the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award at the Grammy Awards.

While holding his award and giving his acceptance speech, with his daughter standing next to him, the “Otis” artist joked, “I used to say this is a sippy cup for Blue, but Blue’s grown up now; she doesn’t take sippy cups, and she has her own Grammys.”

Toward the end of his speech, Jay-Z and Blue Ivy shared a sweet moment when he took her hand and spoke about the importance of people continuing to show up for themselves.
