Beyoncé is not only one of the biggest stars in the world, but she is also a very proud mother. Last night, she shone on the red carpet at the premiere of Disney’s Mufasa: The Lion King, but it was her 12-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, who truly stole the spotlight.
In this live-action prequel, Blue Ivy voices Kiara, the daughter of Beyoncé’s iconic character, Nala, and Simba, voiced by Donald Glover. It was a special moment for Blue as she stepped into the world of voice acting.
After the premiere, Beyoncé shared a heartfelt message for her daughter on Instagram. Alongside photos of Blue in a gorgeous gold ball gown, Beyoncé praised her for her work. “My gorgeous baby girl. This is your night,” she wrote. “You worked hard and did such a beautiful job as the voice of Kiara. Your family could not be prouder. Keep shining.”
Blue Ivy’s gown was stunning, with a strapless draped bodice and a voluminous skirt, making her look like the star she’s becoming. Beyoncé also shined in a custom Balmain dress—a black strapless column dress with metallic gold polka dots and a thigh-high slit. She matched her daughter’s golden glow perfectly.
The premiere was a family event. Jay-Z, Beyoncé’s husband, looked sharp in a dark brown suit, while Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, looked elegant in an all-black outfit with an off-the-shoulder top and dramatic oversized belt.
Recently, Jay-Z made headlines after addressing a lawsuit accusing him and rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs of rape. In his statement, he talked about the impact the accusations had on his family and how they would explain the situation to their children.
Blue Ivy’s red-carpet moment marks another milestone for her. Already a Grammy winner, she is now adding voice acting to her list of accomplishments. With Beyoncé’s support and her growing list of achievements, it’s clear that Blue has a bright future ahead.
