Blue Ivy Carter is pretty in pink!
On Monday, Oct. 27, the 13-year-old daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z arrived at the 27th Annual Angel Ball at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City. Her grandmother, Tina Knowles, was a guest of honor at the black-tie event.
The famous teen wore a pastel pink silk gown and a corset bodice at the top for the event, which raises funds for cancer research.
Blue Ivy kept covered with feathered sleeves in a lighter shade of pink.

Blue Ivy skipped the red carpet where Knowles, 71, posed for photos, along with Destiny’s Child member Michelle Williams. However, Blue Ivy still flashed a smile for the paparazzi as she made her way into the building.
The teen, who wowed fans onstage during her mother’s Cowboy Carter tour, wore her hair in curly, blonde braids.
For makeup, she went for a natural glam look, and accessorized with a diamond necklace and earrings as well as a silver evening bag.
Earlier in the day, Knowles spoke with Sherri Shepherd on the Sherri show, and praised Blue Ivy for performing onstage with her mother in front of crowds of 70,000 people per night.
“Because you have to be taught that. Kids don’t learn it from just accident. You have to say to them, ‘It’s more important to be a good person.’ And that you got to work for what you get,” she told Shepherd, 58. “Nobody’s going to just hand it to you because you are somebody’s daughter or because they like you. You have to work hard.”
Before Cowboy Carter, Blue Ivy also performed on Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour, and has become a staple in the Grammy winner’s stage productions, like joining her mom as a dancer for her NFL Christmas Day halftime show.
She also lent her vocals to 2019’s “Brown Skin Girl.”
After learning a thing or two about the industry, Knowles said Blue Ivy was able to give her younger sister Rumi advice for joining the “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer in front of fans.

Knowles said the 8-year-old had been “asking for the last three or four years” to join Beyoncé and Blue Ivy onstage before she made her debut for Cowboy Carter.
“And listen, she would come out, and the first night, she was so excited. People were making all these crazy comments. And Blue was like, ‘Rumi, you might need to calm it down,'” she said.

And the family also knows fashion, according to Knowles.
“So by maybe like the third or the fourth [show], she would pick out her own outfits at night. You could pick them out. Ty [Hunter] would come and she’d be like, ‘No, I don’t like that. I don’t want that,’” she said.
