Blue Ivy Carter adopted one of her mother Beyoncé's most recognizable hairstyles, a high-ponytail braid, for a recent event in New York City. The 14-year-old attended her father Jay-Z's "Reasonable Doubt Jay-Z30" pop-up event, where she stood by his side.
Carter's hair was pulled back into a sleek high ponytail that extended down her back, transitioning from a dark brunette at the root to a platinum blonde hue. This style closely mirrors looks Beyoncé has frequently sported on red carpets and stages throughout her career. Carter paired the hairstyle with a Fear of God Jay-Z hoodie and Jaded London jeans, accessorizing with stacked rings and thick-frame eyeglasses.
Fans quickly noted the resemblance between Blue Ivy and her mother, with social media users commenting on their similar styles. Beyoncé herself has previously spoken about how she and Jay-Z encouraged Blue Ivy to embrace her natural hair.
In a Father's Day tribute video, Beyoncé shared that Jay-Z grew out his hair to help Blue Ivy feel more confident about her natural curls when she was younger. "Our daughter was about five, and she wasn't feeling very confident about her hair at that time," Beyoncé recounted, adding that it inspired Jay-Z's decision to grow his hair. The couple aimed to foster a sense of love and acceptance for her curls.
