Christina Milian has come to the defense of Beyonce’s daughter Blue Ivy, following the young star’s red carpet appearance at the Mufasa: Lion King premiere.
Milian, 43, was a guest on the Wendy Williams show on Tuesday, where she was asked about her thoughts on Blue Ivy’s outfit at last night’s event, after some called the 12-year-old’s gown ‘inappropriate.’
Blue Ivy wore a strapless gold dress with a long train for her appearance. While on the red carpet she was joined by her superstar mom, 43, and her father Jay-Z, 55, just a day after he was accused of raping a 13-year-old girl in a shock civil lawsuit.
‘First of all, she looks gorgeous. I think the fact that anybody has anything to say about someone else’s daughter, any minor, I think just mind your business,’ the Disney star said.
‘She’s talented, she toured the world with her mom, like there’s nothing you can say. You can’t dim that shine.’
Wendy then said that Blue acted ‘so poised’ with Milian agreeing. ‘Let that baby glow!’ she added.
Milian and Williams then both agreed that Blue Ivy was not doing ‘too much’ and was not ‘being extra.’
The pop star’s eldest child wore a metallic Christian Siriano ballgown as she posed with her parents on the red carpet.
The dress featured a sweetheart neckline and a draped bodice. Her brunette tresses were styled in braids with loose curls.
For her glamorous look, Blue Ivy chose gold eyeshadow, rosy blush, and a glossy red lip.
The talented youngster is set to make her feature film debut in Mufasa: The Lion King and joined her parents and grandmother Tina Knowles to promote the film at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
Beyonce matched her daughter, wearing a strapless black Balmain gown studded with metallic gold discs.
Following the appearance, a number of critics expressed disapproval of Blue Ivy’s ‘inappropriate’ outfit.
‘Lots of chatter online that Blue Ivy’s dress is inappropriate…which I didn’t get until I read that she is TWELVE YEARS OLD! How about we don’t put a 12 year old in a push up bra,’ one wrote.
‘Blue Ivy looks beautiful but honestly I thought “wow she’s like 16 already?” No, turns out she’s 12. Let a girl dress like she’s 12 please.’
‘Blue Ivy is 12. This dress and makeup at 12 ??’ another questioned.
‘Blue ivy looks very pretty but she is 12, totally inappropriate dress.’
‘Blue Ivy is a beautiful little girl- but SHE’S A LITTLE GIRL made to look much older than any 12 years old. It’s just far too mature of a dress. The fact that she has her cleavage on display is disturbing. When you realize that this young girl is only 12 it just makes it worse.’
Another comment read: ‘Blue ivy wearing that dress and makeup at age 12 ….. she’s literally 12 not 18 !!!! Do her stylist or her mom’s stylist know this ?’
However others disagreed, calling the dress ‘beautiful.’
‘Y’all need to leave Blue Ivy alone. She’s 12. Her dress is beautiful. Worry about the kids being displayed on beauty pageant stages… Like, be so for real.’
‘Please STOP projecting weirdness on to children. It was Blue Ivy’s movie premiere night. She was with her family and bodyguards. She wore a beautiful dress that looked like a modern day princess. She color coordinated with her Mom! At age 12 other teens received praise.’
Gushing over her daughter’s achievements, Beyonce wrote on Instagram: ‘My gorgeous baby girl. This is your night. You worked hard and you did such a beautiful job as the voice of Kiara. Your family could not be prouder. Keep shining.’
Blue Ivy provides the voice for the Kiara character in the Disney film, which arrives in theaters December 20.
