Beyoncé has a little lookalike
Beyoncé and Blue Ivy chose to shine with metallic dresses that recall each othershowing perfect harmony. The pop star opted for a structured dress by Balmainwith a sweetheart neckline, maxi metallic polka dots and a deep slit. The choice did not go unnoticed for its sophisticated and bold charm. Blue Ivy, on the other hand, chose a strapless dress by Christian Syrianowith a draped bodice and a full skirt that seemed made for a princess. “You look like a goddess,” commented the stylist on Instagram. There’s no doubt that mother and daughter created sparks, but the look of the pop star’s eldest daughter has raised several controversies: the dress, decidedly elegant and sophisticated, seemed more suitable for an adult woman than for a 12-year-old girl.
Controversy over Blue Ivy’s “too mature” look

Your family couldn’t be more proud.” The superstar’s affectionate words demonstrated how Blue Ivy is a fundamental part of her life and career, enough to involve her in the most important projects.
Jay-Z: the controversies that overshadow the event
