Beyoncé praised her 12-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, after the premiere of their new film, applauding her talent and growth
Beyoncé may be one of the biggest global superstars, but above all, she is a proud mother. At the world premiere of Disney’s Mufasa: The Lion King, she stole the spotlight on the red carpet, but it was her 12-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, who truly captivated everyone’s attention.
In this live-action prequel, Blue voices the character Kiara, the daughter of Beyoncé’s iconic role as Nala, and Simba, voiced by Donald Glover.
After the event, Beyoncé shared a rare and heartfelt tribute to her eldest daughter on Instagram. Along with photos of Blue Ivy shining on the red carpet in a stunning gold gown, Beyoncé poured out her pride and admiration.
«My beautiful baby girl. This is your night,» the Single Ladies singer wrote. «You worked so hard and did an amazing job voicing Kiara. Our family couldn’t be prouder. Keep shining.»

Blue Ivy’s stunning gown at the Mufasa: The Lion King premiere perfectly showcased the star she’s quickly becoming. The strapless dress featured a draped bodice and a voluminous skirt that exuded elegance.
Meanwhile, her mother, Beyoncé, mirrored Blue’s golden radiance with a custom Balmain creation—a sleek black strapless column dress embellished with metallic gold polka dots made from brass leaves.
The ensemble was finished with a daring sculptural neckline and a thigh-high slit that left fans in awe.
