Blue Ivy Looks So Grown Up in a Glamorous Pink Gown Beside Grandma Tina Knowles at the Angel Ball
Blue Ivy Carter is growing up fast — and she’s doing it in style. The 13-year-old daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z made a dazzling appearance at the 27th Annual Angel Ball this week, attending alongside her grandmother, Tina Knowles, who was one of the evening’s honorees.
For the star-studded event benefiting Gabrielle’s Angel Foundation for Cancer Research, Blue Ivy looked radiant in a pastel pink gown, complete with a feather boa, kitten heels, and sparkling jewelry. The young teen’s poised look turned heads on the red carpet, capturing hearts across social media.
A Sweet Grandmother-Granddaughter Moment
Tina Knowles, 71, proudly shared a photo with her granddaughter on Instagram, captioning it,
“With my beautiful Blue at the Angel Ball tonight.”
She also revealed a charming detail that had fans swooning — Blue did her own makeup for the big night. When a follower asked who was behind the glam, Tina replied simply,
“She does it herself.”
Beyoncé later reposted the photo on her own Instagram Story, writing,
“Congrats, Mom, on your philanthropy award at the Angel Ball tonight.”
A Night of Elegance and Purpose
The event, hosted by Gayle King, raised $3 million for cancer research and awareness. During the ceremony, Tina Knowles was honored for her dedication to philanthropy and her advocacy for cancer awareness — a mission deeply personal to her.
In April, Tina publicly shared her experience with stage 1 breast cancer, opening up to Gayle King in an emotional interview.
“I was in disbelief,” she recalled. “Thank God it was still very small and hadn’t spread. It was a slow-growing cancer, and I’m now cancer-free.”
Taking the stage at the Angel Ball, Tina encouraged others to stay vigilant about early detection:
“It’s so important to get your exams early — but the fight to find a cure carries on.”
A Family Legacy of Strength and Grace
From Beyoncé’s iconic career to Blue Ivy’s growing confidence in the public eye, the Carter-Knowles women continue to inspire through both glamour and grit. And at this year’s Angel Ball, that legacy shone brighter than ever.
