Blue Ivy Wore a Gucci Dress to the Beauty and the Beast Premiere
Beyoncé, Jay Z, and their daughter Blue Ivy attended the Hollywood premiere of the live-action version of Beauty and the Beast—but skipped out on the red carpet. Now we know what they wore, thanks to new images posted on beyonce.com{: rel=nofollow}.
For the occasion, the Carters coordinate in Gucci. Jay Z stepped out in a tiger-and-floral embroidered Gucci denim jacket, while Beyoncé—who is pregnant with twins—showed off her growing belly in a Gucci emerald green, Empire-waist chiffon gown, and Kimberly McDonald jewels. But it was their 5-year-old daughter Blue Ivy who took home the night’s award for best dressed: She wore the child’s version of a Gucci dress that originally made its debut on the Fall 2016 runway as an adult dress. While the original retails for $26,000{: rel=nofollow}, Blue’s child version was a steal at $2,100.
The velvet-trimmed gown features a colorful, tiered silk skirt and detailed parrot and snake embroidery on the lace-paneled bodice. It is also embellished with glittering crystals and faux pearls. But while Blue Ivy’s Gucci gown may have been over-the-top extravagant, she kept her footwear classic and simple: The soon-to-be big sister topped off her look with glittery Converse Chuck Taylors.
This isn’t the first time that Blue Ivy has rocked fancy designer wear, particularly Gucci. Most recently, she wore a $1,800 Gucci dress less than two weeks ago to sit courtside with her parents at the NBA All-Star Game. And she even carried a $2,500 Gucci cat purse{: rel=nofollow} at the 2017 Grammys.
Correction: The original version of this post misidentified the cost of Blue Ivy’s dress with that of the adult version.
