WATCH THE VIDEO HERE Blue Ivy Carter is growing up before our eyes, but some fans of Beyoncé and Jay-Z are not loving her latest fashion choice. The 13-year-old attended Rolling Loud last weekend, rolling deep with a group of friends, handlers, and bodyguards. But instead of celebrating her presence at the festival, social media users quickly shifted focus to her outfit—which some critics claim was “too grown” for a young teen. And a photo of the 13 year old from this fall, attending a concert with friends is now going viral. HERE IS A LINK TO BLUE IVY IN HER EDIKTED OUTFIT For the event, Blue Ivy rocked a stylish outfit from the pre-teen fashion brand Edikted—a brand known for trendy styles that many young girls across the country are wearing. The look was fashionable, fun, and right in line with what most 13-year-olds are wearing these days. However, that didn’t stop some Beyoncé fans from voicing their opinions online, debating whether the outfit was too mature for her age. While many praised Blue Ivy for growing into her own style, others were quick to judge her Rolling Loud look, sparking yet another social media debate over what is “appropriate” for teenage girls. “She’s only 13! Why is she dressed like that?” “Beyoncé and Jay-Z should know better.” “Let Blue be a kid! Not everything needs to be a fashion moment.” However, plenty of others came to Blue Ivy’s defense, pointing out that she was simply dressed like any other stylish teen her age. “Y’all are weird for analyzing a CHILD’S outfit.” “She’s 13, not 8. This is literally what middle schoolers wear.” “Blue Ivy is just like any other Gen Z teen, and that’s okay.” This moment highlights the ongoing double standard when it comes to celebrity children—especially young Black girls in the spotlight. Blue Ivy has grown up under constant public scrutiny, from comments about her hair as a toddler to comparisons to her parents as she gets older. Now, as she enters her teenage years, the conversation is shifting to what she wears and how she presents herself—even though she’s just being a normal 13-year-old girl. At the end of the day, Blue Ivy is simply growing up, exploring her personal style, and enjoying her teenage years like any other girl her age. It’s clear she has a strong support system around her, including her ultra-private parents who have always prioritized her well-being. Whether she’s on stage with Beyoncé, hanging out at festivals, or just being a teen, one thing is for sure—Blue Ivy is going to shine, no matter what the critics say. Blue Ivy’s Rolling Loud Look
