Blue Ivy Carter, 13, Looks Nearly Identical to Beyoncé at Lakers Game With Jay-Z
Blue Ivy Carter Looks Just Like Beyoncé in Stylish Courtside Appearance
Blue Ivy Carter once again proved she’s Beyoncé’s mini-me — and the internet can’t stop talking about it. The 13-year-old stepped out with her dad, Jay-Z, for the Los Angeles Lakers vs. San Antonio Spurs game on December 10, and fans were stunned by how strikingly similar she looks to her superstar mom.
Sitting courtside, Blue Ivy rocked a cool, effortless look: an oversized Balenciaga biker jacket, cargo-style denim from The Attico, sleek sunglasses, and a sparkly Diesel purse. But the highlight of her outfit? A pair of burgundy Isabel Marant wedge sneakers straight from Beyoncé’s own closet — shoes Queen Bey wore back in 2011, just months before Blue was born. Talk about iconic fashion recycling!
With her long, straight hair and glossy brown-lined lips, Blue Ivy had the kind of confidence and poise that instantly reminded fans of her mother.
A Rising Star Who Works Hard
Blue has been making more public appearances in recent years, especially during Beyoncé’s Renaissance and Cowboy Carter tours, where she performed as a dancer. Her grandmother, Tina Knowles, shared that Blue’s work ethic is no accident.
“You have to be taught that,” Tina said on the Sherri show. “Kids have to learn that nothing is handed to them—you have to work for what you get.”
Beyoncé also revealed that Blue pushed hard for her spot onstage. The superstar admitted she was initially hesitant but couldn’t ignore her daughter’s passion and natural talent. “Blue is an artist,” Beyoncé told GQ. “She earned it, and she had fun doing it.”
Jay-Z echoed the sentiment in an interview, saying he still gets goosebumps watching Blue perform. Considering she’s been in the spotlight since birth, he sees her performances as a way of “reclaiming her power.”
What’s Next for Blue Ivy?
Despite her talent, Tina Knowles isn’t certain Blue will pursue music professionally. “She can do anything,” she said, pointing out Blue’s skills in painting, writing poetry, and more. “I don’t know if music is her passion.”
Jay-Z has also made it clear he doesn’t want to pressure any of his children into following their parents’ footsteps. His focus? Making sure they feel supported and loved.
And on Beyoncé’s Side…
While Blue was enjoying a fun night out with her dad, Beyoncé had major news of her own. The global icon has been announced as one of the co-chairs for the 2026 Met Gala — marking her first return to the event since 2016.
