12-year-old now actress, Grammy Winning singer, and daughter of Grammy Winning parents Beyoncé and Jay Z Blue Ivy Carter was at the red carpet world premiere for her film debut "Mufasa" the prequel to 2019's The Lion King. At the world premiere, the eldest young Carter dressed in a long golden strapless dress until internet trolls and critics criticized her dress.

Here’s why…..

Blue Ivy has been making 2024 her year for her to shine. First, she debuted as a background dancer on stage at her mothers Act I: Renaissance concert tour.

Carter narrated Matthew Cherry's book Hair Love. Now, Blue Ivy Carter voiced as Kiara, the daughter of Simba and Nala in the Disney’s live-action musical Mufusa: the prequel to the Lion King along with Grammy Winning Donald Glover aka Childish Gambino as her father Simba and her mother Beyoncé as her mother Nala.

At the Mufusa film premiere, the young Carter was dressed in a golden strapless Christian Siriano gown at the red carpet along with her proud parents showing their love and support despite of Jay-Z false accusation claims.

However, critics and everyone on social media weren't fond of Blue Ivy's dress at the premiere. Critics were criticizing Blue's gown as "too grown for a 12-year-old". One viral tweet with over 25 million views accused Beyoncé and Jay-Z of “oversexualizing” Blue by allowing her to wear the strapless gown and makeup, suggesting that they were “dressing her like she’s a 17-18 year old.” However, Beyoncé fans defended the young starlets dress especially celebrities like Sherri Shepherd. Comedian and Emmy Winning television host defends Blue's gown even her guest actress Christina Millan who has a teenage daughter also defended Blue and said she looked beautiful. Honestly, I don't know why everyone is making it a big deal. Yes, Blue is 12 she is growing up however I don't think the gown is a big deal it's not like the gown is showing her chest only her half back and not so much on the front. Plus, Girls her age wear gowns like that even on events like birthdays or other eventful occasions. For instance, North West was dressed as Princess Tiana in a strapless dress while the rest of her friends were dressed as Disneys' Princesses for Halloween which I honestly didn't have a problem with it except everyone on the internet dissing her the same way as Blue. Also, Ariel Winter wore a similar strapless gown at the 2010 Emmy Awards when she was 12, while Miley Cyrus rocked a tight, strapless top at the 2006 CMA Awards when she was roughly 14. Yet nobody complained about them dressing like that. (Source: Buzzfeed).

Seriously the internet needs to shut up.

I understand people are trying not oversexualizing children especially preteens who are developing into teenagers. I get it because there are bad people who liked to prey on innocent children especially people who work in the industry but I do believe Beyonce would protect Blue at all cost including her twins Sir and Rumi. In my opinion, the dress she was wearing, I thought the dress was beautiful, golden, and majestic however it seems so prom-ish don't get me wrong. Blue is beautiful and looks good but she could've gotten a different dress that screams red carpet. She could have worn something else like strapless dress with a wrapa around the shoulder or maybe something a little bit more majestic.

Anyways, anyone hating on her or her dresses just back off!!!!
