Blue Ivy Carter is no longer a child. The beautiful daughter of billionaire superstars Jay Z and Beyoncé is now a teenager, and she looks and behaves like one too.
Now 12, Blue Ivy's transformation into a “big girl” has not gone unnoticed, as fans and social media users were quick to comment on a photo that surfaced online.

In the photo, Blue Ivy is wearing blue jean cargo pants with a matching jacket and a simple white silk scarf as a top, revealing her bare neck and shoulders. She completed her look with Air Jordan 1 Retro High sneakers in university blue, black and white.
She was walking with her two best friends, who both attend the same elite Beverly Hills school that Beyoncé's daughter attends. It costs about $60,000 a year to attend the school, and kids have to meet strict academic standards to get in.
Many fans feel as though they've spent the last 12 years watching Blue Ivy grow up before their eyes. One user wrote, “Blue Ivy posing for photos with friends alone. My sister is growing up oh wow.”
Popular TikTok personality Blakely Thornton shared, “This is a picture of Blue Ivy Carter walking around LA,” he says in the video. “This is what someone born in 2012 looks like. Baby she's out here reading, writing, doing arithmetic.”
She added that she “didn't experience a white president until the latter part of her life” and that she “read about the breakup of the Spice Girls in history books.”
The main lesson he learns from these photos is: “Time always moves forward!” He tells his followers to “keep working” because time keeps passing, no matter what!
