Blue Ivy Carter: Beyoncé’s Mini Style Star and Cultural Icon

Blue Ivy Carter knows that she’s in charge.

At a recent concert on Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” tour, a 13-year-old received a unique acknowledgment when someone in the audience recognized her executive position within the BeyHive fan club.

In an Instagram video, recorded by a fan, Blue joined Beyoncé and other dancers on stage during “Texas Hold ‘Em.” As she noticed a banner that said, “We Love You Manager Blue,” she acknowledged the fan holding it with a nod and a thumbs up, before strolling along the catwalk’s edge.

Certainly, during her outing with her mom, Blue demonstrated her managerial side quite clearly. Back in February, following the moment when the “Get Me Bodied” singer was left speechless upon hearing that “Cowboy Carter” won the Best Country Album Grammy, it appears that Blue discreetly prompted her mother to rise and accept the award on camera.

Apart from being her mom, she is also the mother of twins Rumi and Sir, aged 7, who are Jay-Z’s children as well. Back in April, it was Tina Knowles, Blue’s grandmother, who posted a video showing her dying her eyebrows, indicating that she was following her granddaughter’s request.

As a lifestyle advisor, I recently found myself before the camera, speaking with Tina, who’s wisely guiding both my beauty regimen and professional life. Tina, a vibrant 71-year-old, shared an insight from a trusted source – Miss Blue Ivy Carter herself. Apparently, it’s time for me to enhance my eyebrows with a touch of color, as they’ve developed subtle gray streaks.

In the year 2023, Blue, who first appeared on stage alongside her mom during the global “Renaissance” tour, is back to being one of the main dancers in her mom’s ongoing series of performances.

But it’s not just their oldest daughter who’s stealing the limelight in “Cowboy Carter”. In fact, the youngest, Rumi, has made an appearance during every night’s performance of “Protector”. A heartwarming moment sees Rumi smiling and waving at the audience as Beyoncé holds her while singing. After the performance ends, Blue helps Rumi off the stage, then returns to perform again.

As her granny puts it, Blue is constantly honing her skills in her craft, making it entirely unremarkable that she’s attained such a prestigious position and role within her mom’s production.

According to Tina, she consistently designs and crafts things using both her hands and intellect. She finds her quite impressive. [This statement was made to TopMob News in March.]
