Blue Ivy Carter, the 13-year-old daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, sparked a flurry of comparisons to her famous mother after being spotted courtside with her dad on Wednesday at the Los Angeles Lakers vs. San Antonio Spurs game.
Fans quickly noted the resemblance, with social media users joking that “Beyoncé really copied and pasted herself” and that “Blue Ivy looks so much like her mom.”
The eldest daughter of the power couple showcased an effortless celebrity style, wearing baggy blue jeans paired with a leather jacket layered over a Mercedes-Benz shirt. She accessorized with strappy wedge sneakers, a sparkly silver Diesel purse, sunglasses, and a stack of necklaces.
Her trendy look was completed with long, straight waves featuring a blond ombré coloring at the ends, mascara, lip liner, and an intricate manicure. Jay-Z kept his look simple in an all-black ensemble.
The father-daughter duo were seen enjoying quality bonding time and posing for photos together at the Crypto.com Arena.
Blue Ivy has recently stepped more into the spotlight, making her stage debut alongside her mom in 2023, joining the backup dancers for “My Power” and “Black Parade” during Beyoncé’s “Renaissance” tour gig in Paris.
