Disney star defends Blue Ivy, 12, after backlash over ‘inappropriate’ gown at Mufasa premiere

Christina Milian has come to the defense of Beyonce’s daughter Blue Ivy, following the young star’s red carpet appearance at the Mufasa: Lion King premiere.

Milian, 43, was a guest on the Wendy Williams show on Tuesday, where she was asked about her thoughts on Blue’s outfit at last night’s event, after some called the 12-year-old’s gold gown ‘inappropriate.’ 

Blue wore a strapless gold dress with a long train for her appearance. While on the red carpet she was joined by her superstar mom, 43, and her father Jay-Z, 55, just a day after he was accused of raping a 13-year-old girl in a shock civil lawsuit.

‘First of all, she looks gorgeous. I think the fact that anybody has anything to say about someone else’s daughter, any minor, I think just mind your business,’ the Disney star said.

‘She’s talented, she toured the world with her mom, like there’s nothing you can say. You can’t dim that shine.’

Wendy then said that Blue acted ‘so poised’ with Milian agreeing. ‘Let that baby glow!’ she added.

Milian and Williams then both agreed that Blue was not doing ‘too much’ and was not ‘being extra.’ 

The pop star’s eldest child wore a metallic Christian Siriano ballgown as she posed with her parents on the red carpet.

The dress featured a sweetheart neckline and a draped bodice. Her brunette tresses were styled in braids with loose curls.

For her glamorous look, Blue chose gold eyeshadow, rosy blush, and a glossy red lip.

The talented youngster is set to make her feature film debut in Mufasa: The Lion King and joined her parents and grandmother Tina Knowles to promote the film at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. 

Beyonce matched her daughter, wearing a strapless black Balmain gown studded with metallic gold discs. 

Following the appearance, a number of critics expressed disapproval of Blue’s ‘inappropriate’ outfit. 

‘Lots of chatter online that Blue Ivy’s dress is inappropriate…which I didn’t get until I read that she is TWELVE YEARS OLD! How about we don’t put a 12 year old in a push up bra,’ one wrote. 

‘Blue Ivy looks beautiful but honestly I thought “wow she’s like 16 already?” No, turns out she’s 12. Let a girl dress like she’s 12 please.’

However others disagreed, calling the dress ‘beautiful.’

‘Y’all need to leave Blue Ivy alone. She’s 12. Her dress is beautiful. Worry about the kids being displayed on beauty pageant stages… Like, be so for real.’

‘Please STOP projecting weirdness on to children. It was Blue Ivy’s movie premiere night. She was with her family and bodyguards. She wore a beautiful dress that looked like a modern day princess. She color coordinated with her Mom! At age 12 other teens received praise.’
