Fans quickly took to social media, amazed at how much Blue’s grown.
One fan commented, “We blinked. Blue Ivy is going to be a teenager in 2 months—time flies.”
Another added, “Blue ivy went from a baby to a new Beyoncé in what seems like about 5 years. Or is this one of those things when you were younger and an older person who hasn’t seen you for ages says wow haven’t you gotten big and tall now. We are the old people now.”

Blue Ivy will celebrate her 13th birthday in January, but before then, she’s preparing for her acting debut in Mufasa: The Lion King, set to release on December 20th. She will voice Kiara, the daughter of Simba and Nala. Her mom, Beyoncé, will reprise her role as Nala.
This isn’t the first time mother and daughter have worked together. Blue joined Beyoncé on stage during the Renaissance tour in 2023.
In July 2024, Blue Ivy Carter won the BET YoungStars Award for being a rising child entertainer, and Tina Knowles couldn’t help but express her pride.
“I marvel at your talent, your beauty, your intelligence, but I am most proud of your kindness and down-to-earth attitude. Never attention-seeking, just cool and chill as a cucumber all the time,” Tina wrote on Instagram.
