Blue Ivy Sparks Controversy Again with Stunning New Strapless Gown at 2025 Grammys!

BBG News

13-year-old Blue Ivy Carter, the daughter of Beyoncé and Jay-Z, showcased a striking fashion choice at the 2025 Grammy Awards held on Sunday at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. She donned a beautiful strapless blue ballgown.

On Sunday’s excursion, the young girl completed her look with a necklace, hoop earrings, and a wristband, sparking some internet users to reiterate their earlier opinions that she appeared overly grown-up for her age in her attire.

Less than two months following the controversy surrounding Blue Ivy’s attire at the Los Angeles premiere of Mufasa: The Lion King, where she wore a strapless gold dress, her mother’s wardrobe choices also stirred up conversation.

Previously, Blue Ivy encountered some comments regarding her attire at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California. She was dressed in a shimmering golden gown without sleeves, boasting a lengthy trail, as she was escorted by her illustrious parents and grandmother Tina Knowles.

In a post on Instagram last month during the debut event, Beyoncé, aged 43, expressed, “Tonight belongs to my stunning daughter.

Your dedication really shone through in the role of Kiara, and we are all so impressed with your performance. We can’t help but feel immense pride in what you’ve accomplished. Keep up the great work!

During an interview with GQ in September, Beyoncé shared that her daughter put in a lot of effort to demonstrate her worth and secure a place on stage during their recent tour.

The singer commented, “She’s incredibly talented, yet I didn’t prefer her on stage.” It was Blue who desired to perform. She approached it with dedication and determination, ultimately proving herself worthy.

Moreover, what truly mattered was her enjoyment! Every evening, we witnessed her blossoming further and further, right before ours.

Beyoncé mentioned that adjustments needed to be made regarding Blue Ivy’s schooling schedule, to align it with the five-month, 56-show tour she was embarking on. She noted that her oldest child has shown exceptional skills in various fields.

She mentioned that Blue is an artist. Her talent extends to appreciating music and fashion, and she excels as an editor, painter, and actress. Since she was just three years old, she’s been crafting unique characters.

In the GQ interview, Beyoncé expressed a desire to maintain a regular childhood for her kids despite their extraordinary celebrity status and affluence.

She shared that one area where she’s put tremendous effort is maintaining a sense of normality and privacy for her children, so their lives aren’t transformed into a public spectacle or brand associated with her celebrity status. It’s all too simple for celebrities to convert our personal lives into a form of artistic expression.

I’ve put forth a tremendous amount of effort to remain faithful to my limits and safeguard myself and my loved ones. Nothing can buy the tranquility that I cherish so dearly.

In 2025, Trevor Noah hosted the Grammys for the fifth year straight, aiming to gather funds for fire relief following the destruction brought about by the wildfires that ignited in Pacific Palisades on January 7th.

In a notable turn of events, the illustrious singer Beyoncé led the pack in Grammy Award nominations with 11, including a nod for Album of the Year in the realm of country music through her project, Cowboy Carter. Following closely, Billie Eilish, Charli XCX, Kendrick Lamar, and Post Malone each garnered seven nominations apiece.

In a striking turn of events, music sensations like Taylor Swift and emerging talents such as Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter all earned six nominations apiece. Remarkably, women made a strong impression in the Album of the Year category, which is the most prestigious Grammy award.

Despite Beyoncé holding the record for the most Grammy wins throughout her career compared to any other artist, she hasn’t received the award for Best Album. On the other hand, Taylor Swift has been awarded four times in this category and is once again nominated with her breakup album titled “The Tortured Poets Department.

At the awards ceremony in February, Beyonce’s and Taylor Swift’s records will be up against Carpenter’s “Short n’ Sweet”, Charli XCX’s “Brat”, Billie Eilish’s “Hit Me Hard and Soft”, and Roan’s “The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess”. In simpler terms, these five songs or records are nominated in the same category at the awards show in February.

In the album category, the nominees are rappers Andre 3000 for his album New Blue Sun, and jazz musician Jacob Collier for his work Djesse Vol. 4.

The selection of winners will be done by approximately 13,000 individuals from the Recording Academy, which includes singers, songwriters, producers, engineers, and other music professionals.

Beyonce’s “Cowboy Carter” was widely regarded as a tribute and revival of an underappreciated Black American heritage in country music and culture. Upon its release last spring, it made history by being the first album by a Black woman to reach number one on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart.

The Beyonce album was snubbed, however, by voters for the Country Music Awards in September.

As a diehard fan, I can’t contain my excitement when it comes to Beyoncé! Last week, she earned three more Grammy nominations, including Record and Song of the Year for “Texas Hold ‘Em.” This brings her grand total to an astounding 99 nominations, making her the artist with the most nods ever. Before last Friday, she was neck-and-neck with her amazing husband, Jay-Z, who has 88 nominations under his belt. Now, Beyoncé is truly in a league of her own!

Beyoncé was also recognized with additional Grammy nominations in categories such as Record of the Year and Song of the Year for her single “Texas Hold ‘Em.” With these 11 new nominations, she now has a grand total of 99 Grammy nods, making her the artist with the most nominations ever.

Prior to Friday, she had been tied for the lead with her husband, rapper Jay-Z, who has 88.

In the category of best new artists, Carpenter (who sings Espresso) is up against other contenders such as pop singer Roan, pop-rock singer Benson Boone, Shaboozey who blends hip-hop and country, multi-genre artist Teddy Swims, and others in the music field.

Added to the Grammy nominees this year is another renowned act – The Beatles. One of their songs, titled “Now and Then,” which features the voice of John Lennon generated by artificial intelligence, has been nominated in the category of ‘Song of the Year.’

As a lifestyle expert, I’m thrilled to share that the nominees for the Best Pop Solo Performance are none other than Beyoncé, Sabrina Carpenter, Charli XCX, Billie Eilish, and Chappell Roan. For those aspiring artists out there, keep your eyes on Benson Boone, Sabrina Carpenter, Doechii, Khruangbin, Raye, Chappell Roan, Shaboozey, and Teddy Swims as they battle it out in the Best New Artist category. Lastly, country music fans should mark their calendars for Cowboy Carter, F-1, Deeper Well, Higher, and Whirlwind as they vie for the title of Best Country Album.

2021’s Song of the Year was awarded to Beyoncé – Texas Hold ‘Em, Billie Eilish – Birds of a Feather, Chappell Roan – Good Luck, Babe!, Kendrick Lamar – Not Like Us, Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars – Die With a Smile, Sabrina Carpenter – Please Please Please, Shaboozey – A Bar Song (Tipsy), and Taylor Swift Featuring Post Malone – Fortnight. In other words, these seven songs were the contenders for the title of Song of the Year in 2021.

2021’s Standout Solo Performance in the Country Category was: Beyoncé with “16 Carriages”, Chris Stapleton offering “It Takes a Woman”, Jelly Roll presenting “I Am Not Okay”, Kacey Musgraves delivering “The Architect”, and Shaboozey sharing “A Bar Song (Tipsy)”.

The Best Score Soundtrack for both Films and TV Series was awarded to American Fiction, Challengers, The Color Purple, the upcoming Dune: Part Two, and Shogun.

There were several stars that listed off the nominations including Gayle King and Jim Gaffigan.

Previous Grammy winners such as Brandy Clark, Kirk Franklin, David Frost, Robert Gordon, Kylie Minogue, Gaby Moreno, Deanie Parker, Ben Platt, Mark Ronson, Hayley Williams, and the most recent winner of Best New Artist, Victoria Monét, have joined in.

Initially planned, Will Smith would unexpectedly take the stage to introduce a musical homage for the iconic music producer Quincy Jones, who served as an executive producer during Smith’s debut series “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

At the event, you’ll find some other notable artists such as Victoria Monét, members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers including Anthony Kiedis and Chad Smith, Cardi B, Gloria Estefan, Olivia Rodrigo, Queen Latifah, and SZA.

Or,

Apart from me, there are several other musicians participating in the show like Victoria Monét, Red Hot Chili Peppers’ members Anthony Kiedis and Chad Smith, Cardi B, Gloria Estefan, Olivia Rodrigo, Queen Latifah, and SZA.

Among the six rising stars up for Best New Artist recognition – Benson Boone, Chappell Roan, Doechii, Raye, Sabrina Carpenter, and Teddy Swims – are slated to hit the stage. Additionally, Billie Eilish, Shakira, and Charli XCX will also be performing.

As a devoted follower of music awards, I’d like to highlight that only albums officially launched in the United States from September 16, 2023, up until August 30, 2024, are qualified for nomination considerations.

Harvey Mason Jr., CEO of The Recording Academy, and Tammy Hurt, chair of the board of trustees, expressed in a joint statement that this year’s show will be imbued with a heightened sense of purpose: contributing extra funds to aid wildfire relief efforts and acknowledging the valiance and commitment of first responders who put their lives on the line to safeguard ours. In difficult times, music possesses an extraordinary ability to soothe, console, and unify unlike anything else.

The Grammys will not just celebrate the artistic talents and accomplishments within our musical community, but they’ll also act as a stage to magnify the indomitable spirit of perseverance that is synonymous with the vibrant city of Los Angeles.

As a die-hard music lover, I’m thrilled to be part of this incredible movement! The MusicCares and Recording Academy have launched the Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort, pouring their heart and wallet into it with a pledge of $1 million! This generous donation is meant to help musicians and industry workers who’ve been hit hard by the devastating wildfires. I’m proud to stand with them, knowing that together, we can make a difference for our fellow music enthusiasts in need.

The 2025 Grammy Awards will air February 2 live on CBS and Paramount+ from 5pm PST.
