Blue Ivy Carter Sparks Controversy By Wearing What Some Call A ‘Wildly Inappropriate’ Dress
HuffPost
Certain social media users criticized the outfit, but many others voiced support for the 12-year-old daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z.
Blue Ivy Carter showed up to a Disney-related event dressed like a Disney princess — and it created controversy.
On Monday, the daughter of singer Beyoncé and rapper Jay-Z appeared with her parents at the world premiere of “Mufasa: The Lion King” in a strapless, gold Christian Siriano ballgown.
The 12-year-old attended the Los Angeles screening after voicing the character Kiara in the Disney film, which is set to hit theaters next week.
But as soon as photos of the event hit X, formerly Twitter, some users said that her outfit was “too mature” for a preteen. One highly viewed post not only called the dress “wildly inappropriate,” but suggested that it looked “like she’s launching an OnlyFans career” — a reference to a platform known for its explicit content.
Another user suggested that the girl was “sexualized” by the gown, and that her parents were “dressing her like she’s 17-18 year old.”
