Christina Milian stands by Blue Ivy Carter’s fashion choice amid criticism over ‘Mufasa’ premiere dress

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Blue Ivy Carter, 12, has found herself at the center of social media criticism after her appearance at the 'Mufasa: The Lion King' premiere in Los Angeles on Monday, December 9.

Wearing a floor-length, strapless gold gown with a train, the young star, who voices Princess Kiara in the film, received criticism from some social media users who claimed she was dressed too maturely for her age.

One commenter on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, “This is insane for obvious reasons but i also think we need to acknowledge that blue ivy is 12 and putting her in a dress like that is f**king weird sorry."

However, Disney alum Christina Milian quickly came to Blue Ivy’s defense during an appearance on 'Sherri'. The 43-year-old actress, known for her teenage hosting role on Disney Channel’s 'Movie Surfers', described Blue Ivy as “gorgeous” and dismissed the criticism, as reported by Mirror.

“I think the fact that anybody has anything to say about someone else’s daughter, any minor, I think just mind your business,” Milian said.

“She’s talented, she toured the world with her mom—there’s nothing you can say. You can’t dim that shine," she said.

Host Sherri Shepherd agreed with her, praising Blue Ivy's poise, while Milian added, “Let that baby glow!”

It was Blue Ivy's movie premiere night, and she was accompanied by her family and bodyguards. She wore a stunning dress that made her look like a modern-day princess, perfectly coordinating with her mother. 

Blue Ivy was joined on the red carpet by her mother, Beyonce, grandmother, Tina Knowles, and father, Jay-Z. However, what should have been a joyful family outing was overshadowed by the shocking allegations surrounding Roc-A-Fella star Jay-Z and Sean 'Diddy' Combs.

Jay-Z faces legal scrutiny amid serious allegations against him

Jay-Z has recently found himself entangled in Sean 'Diddy' Combs' ongoing legal issues, following a civil lawsuit filed in October and refiled in December. The suit alleges that Jay-Z and Diddy were involved in the assault of an unnamed woman after the 2000 MTV Music Awards, though both men strongly deny the claims.

In response to the allegations, Jay-Z took to Instagram, sharing a defiant message. He addressed what he described as a blackmail attempt by a lawyer named Tony Buzbee, stating that Buzbee had attempted to coerce him into settling, knowing the nature of the allegations would draw public attention.

"It made me want to expose you for the fraud you are in a VERY public fashion. So no, I will not give you ONE RED PENNY!! These allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one!!" he said.
