Blue Ivy Shades Jay Z (Literally) at Met Gala Debut

Blue Ivy Carter made her Met Gala entrance as a full-fledged style icon on Monday—and she was NOT interested in her dad’s fashion notes. The 14-year-old stunned on the red carpet alongside Beyoncé and Jay-Z, but Jay Z kept asking her to lose the dark sunglasses. Blue Ivy ignored him. Every. Single. Time.

Jay Z apparently thought the shades didn’t fit the vibe of the evening’s theme, and he wasn’t shy about it. But his daughter had other ideas. She kept those sunglasses on, worked the carpet like a pro, and basically told her father \”thanks, but no thanks\” without saying a word. The girl’s got confidence.

It was a full-circle moment for the Carter family—Blue Ivy’s parents have been Met Gala regulars for years, but this was the teenager’s official debut. And she came ready to make her own style choices. Jay Z eventually gave up the fight. Smart move.
