On this outing, it was easy to confuse the 13-year-old with her superstar mom, Beyoncé, given just how much the mother-daughter duo resembled each other.

Blue Ivy Carter channeled her mother Beyoncé's early style while sitting courtside with dad Jay-Z at the Los Angeles Lakers vs. San Antonio Spurs game on Wednesday, December 10. Her outfit quickly caught online attention, sparking comments about her vintage look while others debated her age.

She completed the ensemble with sunglasses and a bedazzled Diesel purse in denim and crystals valued at $875. However, what truly drew attention was Blue's footwear.

Fans Spot Beyoncé's Iconic Shoes on Blue Ivy

She sported a pair of burgundy Isabel Marant Bekett wedge sneakers similar to the ones Beyoncé had originally worn in 2011, a year before Blue was born. The singer frequently wore it again while out with baby Blue in 2012.

Fans speculated whether these were the exact shoes from Beyoncé's collection. Blue's pair appears to be from the original release rather than a reissue. They closely resembled the original Bekett silhouette — but in a burgundy colorway that Beyoncé showcased on Instagram in 2013.

Given Beyoncé's known penchant for meticulously archiving her wardrobe, it wouldn't be surprising if she held on to her iconic kicks.

The Bekett sneakers were a standout of the early 2010s, often boasting six-month-long waitlists after Beyoncé debuted them in her "Love on Top" music video.

Blue completed the look with long, straight hair and glossy, brown-lined lips that made her courtside appearance even more striking. Between her outfit, hair, and style, it was clear she had perfectly channeled her mother's star aesthetic.

She Was Making History Before Her First Birthday

Blue Ivy Carter's path to making headlines began almost the moment she entered the world. At less than a week old, she had already made history — something even seasoned performers never achieve so early in life.

Billboard confirmed that she became the youngest person ever to appear on its charts after being credited on Jay-Z's song "Glory." The track, recorded as a tribute to his newborn daughter, listed her as "B.I.C.," short for Blue Ivy Carter, giving her an unprecedented milestone.

Music writers compared the moment to Stevie Wonder's iconic "Isn't She Lovely," which he famously wrote about his daughter Aisha in 1975.

But unlike Blue, Aisha was not named in the credits. Stevie's track also didn't enter the Billboard charts until nearly two years after she was born — making Blue's achievement truly unique.

Billboard also pointed out a striking coincidence. "Glory" became Jay-Z's 107th career entry on the charts, matching Blue Ivy's birthdate of January 7.

Grammy Winner at Just Nine Years Old

At the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards on March 14, 2021, Blue reached another remarkable milestone at just nine years and 66 days old. She became one of the youngest Grammy winners in history when she earned Best Music Video as a featured artist on her mother's "BROWN SKIN GIRL."

The song, which also includes SAINt JHN and Wizkid, appears on the album "The Lion King: The Gift." Even before her Grammy win, the track had already brought in major awards. "BROWN SKIN GIRL" earned the BET Her Award at the 20th BET Awards on June 28, 2020.

It later took home Video of the Year at the 2020 Soul Train Music Awards on November 29, 2020. Blue was only eight years old at the time. Both ceremonies held extra meaning for the family, as Beyoncé remains the most awarded musician in the history of each event.

Winning Best Music Video at the Grammys pushed her to her 25th career Grammy. As of late 2025, she holds the record with 35 wins.

Following in Beyoncé's Iconic Footsteps

For comparison, Beyoncé's own Grammy journey began when she was 19. She collected her first trophies with Destiny's Child at the 43rd Grammy Awards on February 21, 2001, more than a decade older than Blue was when she received her first.

Blue has already achieved impressive milestones and seems to be following in her mother's footsteps in the entertainment industry. Earlier this year, she performed alongside Beyoncé during the "Cowboy Carter Tour."

She danced to hits including "America Has a Problem," and even recreated Beyoncé’s iconic 2006 choreography for "Déjà Vu." With her early exposure and talent, it's now a watch-and-see moment to discover which career path she will ultimately pursue.
