Beyonce And Jay-Z’s Rarely-Seen Daughter Blue Ivy, 11, Looks Unrecognizable In Glamorous Silk Gown At Grandma’s Wedding
Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, a 32-time Grammy winner, and her oldest child, Blue Ivy Carter, both wore stylish outfits to the opulent wedding of Jay-Z's mother Gloria Carter on Sunday at Tribeca 360° in Manhattan.
The 11-year-old Grammy-winning producer, who is presently her famous mother's backup dancer, was seen strolling along a Big Apple street with her grandmother Tina Knowles Lawson while dressed in a green silk dress.
Beyoncé, whose stylist of choice is KJ Moody, showed off ample cleavage in a peach-colored Dolce & Gabbana SS/23 dress.
She paired it with a pink-feathered shrug and a handbag with the same heart design.
Roc Nation rap mogul Jay-Z, Knowles-Carter's spouse of 15 years, entered the building before the women and wore a sharp blue tailored suit and necktie.
Since he was helpful in assisting his mother Gloria coming out as a lesbian six years ago, the 53-year-old (born Shawn Carter) from Brooklyn had an emotional day.
After dating since 2018, the president of the Wiltshire Foundation and the CEO of the Shawn Carter Foundation, Roxanne Wiltshire, a mother-of-two from Trinidad who lives in New Jersey, got married on Sunday.
As a featured artist on Jay-Z's 2017 song Smile, Gloria openly came out and talked about "living two lives happy, but not free."
The 24-time Grammy winner, whose father Adnis Reeves left the family when he was 11 years old, rapped: 'Mama had four kids, but she's a lesbian / Had to pretend so long that she's a thespian / Had to hide in the closet, so she medicates.'
'Society shame and the pain was too much to take / Cried tears of joy when you fell in love / Don't matter to me if it's him or her / I just wanna see you smile through all the hate.'
Carter received a special recognition prize for the rap track at the GLAAD Media Awards in 2018 and will receive an honorary degree from Lincoln University in 2021. At the ceremony, she gushed about meeting her partner.
'Love gave me the courage to take the power that I allowed other people to have over my life for fear of them revealing my secret,' the former investment firm clerk said onstage at the Hilton Midtown.
'I am a human being who has a right to love who I love. So everybody, just smile, be free.'
On David Letterman's My Guest Needs No Introduction that same year, Jay-Z recalled: 'For her to sit in front of me and tell me, "I think I love someone," I mean, I really cried. That's a real story. I cried because I was so happy for her that she was free.'
Good Morning America co-anchor Robin Roberts and her longtime spouse, co-founder of Plant Juice Oils Amber Laign, attended Gloria's wedding as well.
The Daytime Emmy Award winner, 62, who debuted in 2013, wore a blue glittery pantsuit and white Oxfords, while the former massage therapist, 48, wore a cranberry-colored silk dress and racy peep-toe heels.
Robin, who has 850K Instagram fans, posted a driving selfie with the sly caption: 'Special date night with Sweet Amber. Wishing all a fun, safe holiday weekend. #sundayvibes.'
Tyler Perry, an honorary Oscar and Emmy winner who runs a movie and television studio in Atlanta, wore much more casual attire to the ceremony, including a sporty sweatshirt, a pair of paint-splattered ombré pants, and sneakers.
The Texan R&B diva will visit Toronto's Rogers Centre this Saturday and Sunday as part of her sold-out, 57-date Renaissance World Tour in support of her seventh studio album.
Beyoncé's ninth concert tour is expected to bring in over $300 million, according to a February Billboard prediction.
