Beyoncé's daughter Blue Ivy Carter stepped out to attend the Wicked film premiere in LA on Saturday night, alongside a whole host of other famous faces.
The pre-teen, however, the modest 12-year-old chose to miss out on the red carpet, instead arriving under the radar, attending alongside her grandmother, Tina Knowles.
Blue was captured by a fan, who shared photos on social media, and looked stylish dressed in a pink floor-length gown.
Tina has a close bond with Blue Ivy, and she often shares tributes to her oldest granddaughter on social media. She has also been known to defend the pre-teen from naysayers online, calling out "green eyed monsters".
Tina has also spoken with pride about the 12-year-old in interviews, especially when Blue took to the stage in 2023 to dance alongside her famous mom on her Renaissance World Tour.

You're trained early to walk in heels. But yeah, she's having the time of her life, and I couldn't be more proud of her because she really worked hard."
She added: "She is 11 years old, and she had one week to prepare, and she's just getting better and better. So I'm the proud grandma, always." When asked whether her granddaughter's confidence had seen a boost since joining the tour, she joked: "Oh, to the sky, to the sky. Yes."

In December, fans will see Blue star alongside her mom in Mufasa: The Lion King, where she will voice the role of Kiara, Nala's daughter.

He also made it clear that Blue was picked for her own talents, and that it had nothing to do with her famous family. "It had nothing to do with mom and dad. She was the right young woman for the job," he said.

Talking to GQ, Beyoncé explained: "One thing I've worked extremely hard on is making sure my kids can have as much normalcy and privacy as possible, ensuring my personal life isn't turned into a brand.
