Beyoncé rarely does red carpets these days, so when she does, you know itâs going to be for something bigâbig like Blue Ivy Carterâs first movie premiere. On December 9, the whole Carter family, including Jay-Z, Beyoncé, and Tina Knowles, joined Blue Ivy on the red carpet for the premiere of Mufasa, which is 12-year-old Blueâs first (non-music-video) acting role.
Both mother and daughter dressed in royal gold, but Queen Beyâs look took an understated approach next to her daughter. Blue wore a strapless gold ball gown with a sweetheart neckline and a gathered detail at the waist by Christian Siriano. Bey, meanwhile, was dressed even more on theme, in a Disney x Balmain: The Lion King collection gown, designed by Olivier Rousteing.

Beyoncé’s strapless column gown featured a plunging neckline with a gold polka-dot pattern that complemented her daughterâs dress without being too matchy-matchy. Both wore their hair down, skipped the necklace, and added statement earrings instead. But while Bey was rocking her honey blonde color, Blueâs was a more natural dark brown.
This isnât the first time Beyoncé gave Blue Ivy Carter the worldâs best Take Your Daughter to Work Day, but it is the first time sheâs acted with her mother. In Mufasa, Beyoncé reprises her role as Nala, while Blue Ivy voices Nalaâs daughter, Kiara.
