Blue Ivy might already have a Grammy under her belt, but at the 2024 Grammy Awards her fashion credentials trumped her music prowess when fans spotted her dressed in a chic Vivienne Westwood gown.
The 12-year-old daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z joined her father, who won the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award, on stage at the Crypto.com arena in Los Angeles dressed in an elegant off-white coloured dress by the London-born fashion designer’s eponymous brand. The gown featured off-the-shoulder straps, a corseted waistline, and a skirt which finished just below the knee.
The star, who won her first Grammy award at 9 years old, teamed the dress with similar-hued Larroude Dolly boots, and carried an off-white clutch bag.
Fans of the star, who most recently joined her mother on her global Renaissance tour, took to social media to share their thoughts on the pre-teens demure look.
While she decided to swerve the red carpet with her mother, Beyoncé, Blue Ivy stood by her father’s side as he delivered a speech following his award win.
While the musician thanked his admirers for the award, he also criticised the awarding body for failing to give his wife – the most decorated Grammy award winner of all time – the Album of the Year award.
'I don't want to embarrass this young lady, but she has more Grammys than everyone and never won album of the year,' he said. 'So even by your own metrics, that doesn't work. Think about that. The most Grammys; never won Album of the Year. That doesn't work.'
He added: ‘When I get nervous, I tell the truth.’
Supporting her husband, Beyoncé was photographed in the audience wearing a black embellished jacket and a white Stetson, and sporting platinum blonde hair.
This isn’t the first time Jay-Z has spoken out about Beyoncé’s relationship with the Grammys.
Speaking with Tidal in a Q&A before the 65th Grammy Awards, Jay-Z—who famously boycotted the awards ceremony in 1999 after late rapper DMX did not receive a nomination—explained why the golden gramophone deserved to go to his wife.
'Look what it's done to the culture. Look how the energy of the world moved,' he said. 'They play her whole album in the club. I don't know if I've ever seen that. The whole entire joint—like, everything?! Every remix is amazing. Everyone's inspired. It has inspired the world. Every remix is better than the other one.'
He continued, 'When it just inspires creativity, that's an album. That has to be Album of the Year. It has to be.'
At last year’s ceremony, Harry Styles's Harry's House beat Beyoncé's Renaissance for the gong.
