Fans Notice Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s Daughter, Blue Ivy, 12, Looks ‘Uncomfortable’ at LA Premiere of ‘Mufasa: The Lion King’ – Videos

The famous daughter of musical icons Jay-Z Carter, 55, and Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, 43, set the red carpet of the “Mufasa: The Lion King” premiere ablaze on December 9. Although the young lady certainly looked radiant in the shimmery gown she wore, social media users couldn’t help but notice something off about her disposition.

For the glitzy and star-studded affair, which took place at Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Blue Ivy Carter, 12, donned a beautiful strapless, voluminous metallic gold dress.

Adding an extra layer of glamor to her already eye-catching gown, Blue Ivy had long manicured nails, adorned her face with makeup, including a bold glossy lip, and left her curly braided hair cascading down her back and one of her shoulders.

Not only was the premiere a chance for Blue Ivy to shine as the actress who voiced Kiara in the upcoming prequel to “The Lion King,” but the event turned into a family affair, which saw her parents join her on the red carpet, too.

While Beyoncé matched her daughter’s elegant appearance with a stunning black-and-gold, strapless dress that featured a plunging neckline and a daring side slit, Jay-Z rocked a classy chocolate-colored suit and black tie.

Blue Ivy’s grandmother Tina Knowles also attended the premiere. She donned an all-black ensemble that had a belt with gold embellishments.

Taking to Instagram to boast about her daughter’s premiere appearance and role in the movie, Beyoncé shared two beautiful images of Blue Ivy at the event.

“My gorgeous baby girl. This is your night. You worked hard and you did such a beautiful job as the voice of Kiara. Your family could not be prouder. Keep shining,” captioned the proud mom alongside the post.

In addition to photos, there are also videos that were taken at the premiere showing Blue Ivy walking and posing on the red carpet. One of them, posted by Entertainment Tonight, displays Blue Ivy with her mom.

While Beyoncé smiled and waved at the camera, the young performer was statuesque, occasionally moving her arms to place them in front of her or using one of them to fix her dress and hair.

Another video shared on X by Pop Crave depicts Jay-Z joining the mother and daughter for photos. After a brief and sweet interaction between Blue Ivy’s parents, the trio stood next to each other to continue posing for the cameras. Once again, Blue Ivy fixed her hair and gown before placing her hands on the front of her dress.

A video shared by The Hollywood Reporter shows Blue Ivy walking onto the red carpet, as her loving grandmom helped fix her gown’s train.

After positioning herself at the center of the carpet, the young artist posed for more photos, moving her body and arms around as she looked at different photographers.

Footage shared on Facebook by E! News displays an adorable moment shared between Beyoncé, Jay-Z, and Blue Ivy, who has followed in her parents’ entertaining footsteps. While she posed for pictures, Jay-Z and Beyoncé were spotted cheering their daughter on from the sidelines.

Upon seeing such videos of Blue Ivy at the premiere of the film that also stars her mom and follows the origin story of the beloved Disney character Mufasa, netizens asserted their opinions. Many made comments about Blue Ivy’s temperament while posing for photos.

The aforementioned reactions come after social media users asserted their opinions on Blue Ivy’s ensemble and the fact that she had long manicured nails and makeup on.

Some netizens commented that her appearance made her seem older than she is. One user wrote, “Why is a 12 year old wearing a dress with push up boob cups is all I’m asking [sic].” Another added, “And a ton of makeup,” while someone else commented, “and [sic] long nails 🤦🏻‍♀️.”
