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

Christina Milian has stepped up to support Blue Ivy, Beyonce's daughter, after the young star made her red carpet debut at the Mufasa: Lion King premiere.

Milian, 43, appeared on the Wendy Williams show on Tuesday, where she shared her opinions on Blue Ivy's dress from the previous night's event. This came after some people criticized the 12-year-old's gown as being 'inappropriate.'

At the premiere, Blue Ivy showcased a stunning strapless gold gown with an elegant long train. She was accompanied on the red carpet by her famous mother, who is 43, and her father Jay-Z, aged 55. This appearance came just a day after he faced serious allegations in a surprising civil lawsuit, claiming he assaulted a 13-year-old girl.

“To begin with, she looks stunning. I believe that people should keep their opinions to themselves when it comes to someone else's child, especially a minor,” Milian commented on Blue Ivy's appearance.

"She's incredibly gifted and traveled around the globe with her mother, which speaks for itself. There's no way to overshadow her brilliance," the Disney star continued.

Wendy commented that Blue seemed very graceful, which Milian echoed. "Let that baby shine!" she added.

Blue Ivy made a stunning entrance in a strapless gold dress that featured a flowing train. She was accompanied by her mother, Beyoncé, 43, and father, Jay-Z, 55, who faced serious allegations just a day earlier in a surprising civil lawsuit.

Milian and Williams both concurred that Blue Ivy wasn't overdoing it or acting overly dramatic.

The pop star's oldest child donned a shiny Christian Siriano ballgown while striking a pose with her parents on the red carpet.

The dress had a sweetheart neckline and a flowing bodice. Her brown hair was braided with soft curls falling loose.

To achieve her stunning appearance, Blue Ivy opted for shimmering gold eyeshadow, a soft pink blush, and a shiny red lip color.

The young and gifted actress is about to make her first appearance in a feature film with Mufasa: The Lion King. She attended a promotional event for the movie at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood alongside her parents and her grandmother, Tina Knowles.

Beyoncé coordinated her outfit with her daughter, donning a strapless black gown by Balmain adorned with shiny gold discs.

After the event, several critics voiced their concerns about Blue Ivy's outfit, calling it 'inappropriate.'

There's been a lot of discussion online about Blue Ivy's outfit being unsuitable. I hadn’t realized she was just TWELVE YEARS OLD! One person pointed out, "Why are we putting a 12-year-old in a push-up bra?"

Blue Ivy looks stunning, but I couldn't help but think, "Wow, is she really already 16?" Turns out she’s just 12. Can we just let her dress her age?

Milian, who is 43 years old, appeared as a guest on the Wendy Williams show this Tuesday. During the episode, she was asked to share her opinions about her outfit, as some had criticized the gown as being 'not suitable'.

To begin with, she looks absolutely stunning. I believe that it's completely inappropriate for anyone to comment on someone else's daughter, especially when it comes to minors. It's best to just stay out of other people's affairs, the Disney star expressed.

"She's incredibly gifted and has traveled the globe alongside her mother. There's really nothing that can take away from her brilliance," she said.

The oldest child of the pop star donned a shiny ballgown by Christian Siriano. Meanwhile, Beyoncé coordinated with her daughter in a strapless black gown from Balmain, adorned with shiny gold discs.

"Blue Ivy is 12 years old. Can you believe she's wearing that dress and makeup at such a young age?" another person wondered.

Blue Ivy is quite beautiful, but at just 12 years old, her outfit is not suitable for her age.

Blue Ivy is an adorable young girl, but she appears much older than her 12 years. The dress she wore is quite sophisticated for her age, and the way it accentuates her cleavage is troubling. Knowing she is just a child makes it even more concerning.

One person reacted with: "Blue Ivy is only 12 years old, so why is she wearing that dress and makeup? She seems more like an adult than a young girl! Do her stylist or her mom's stylist realize how young she is?"

On the other hand, some people expressed a different opinion, describing the dress as 'stunning.'

Let's give Blue Ivy a break. She’s only 12 years old, and her dress is lovely. Instead of focusing on her, maybe we should be more concerned about kids who are put on display in beauty pageants. Seriously, let's keep things in perspective.

"Let's stop putting strange expectations on kids. It was the night of Blue Ivy’s movie premiere, and she was there with her family and security team. She looked stunning in a beautiful dress that made her look like a contemporary princess. Plus, she matched her outfit with her mom! At 12, other teens are often celebrated for their achievements."

Praising her daughter's accomplishments, Beyonce shared on Instagram: "My beautiful girl, tonight is all about you. You put in a lot of effort, and you did an amazing job as Kiara's voice. Our family is so incredibly proud of you. Keep on shining!"

Blue Ivy lends her voice to the character Kiara in the upcoming Disney movie, set to hit theaters on December 20.

Blue Ivy enhanced her stylish appearance with shimmering gold eyeshadow, a hint of rosy blush, and a shiny red lip color. After her appearance, a few critics voiced their concerns about her outfit, describing it as 'inappropriate.'

There’s been a lot of discussion online about Blue Ivy’s outfit being unsuitable. I didn’t understand the fuss until I realized she’s only TWELVE! Maybe we should reconsider having a 12-year-old wear a push-up bra, one person commented.

Blue Ivy looks stunning, but I have to admit that my first thought was, "Wow, is she really already 16?" It turns out she’s actually just 12. Can we let her dress in a way that suits her age?

"Blue Ivy is only 12 years old. Is it really appropriate for someone that age to be wearing this dress and makeup?" another person asked.

Blue Ivy is a lovely young girl, but she's been dressed in a way that makes her appear much older than 12. The outfit is simply too sophisticated for someone her age.

"Blue Ivy looks lovely, but at just 12 years old, her outfit is quite inappropriate."

One commenter expressed concern, stating, “Blue Ivy is only 12 years old, yet she's dressed and made up like an 18-year-old! Are her stylist or her mom's stylist aware of this?”

On the other hand, some people had a different opinion and described the dress as 'gorgeous.'

She was surrounded by her family and security personnel. She donned a stunning dress that resembled something a contemporary princess would wear. She even matched her outfit with her mother! At 12 years old, other teenagers were getting compliments too.

In the past few years, Blue has drawn attention thanks to her well-known parents, making appearances alongside her mother during her tour last year.

In a GQ interview released last September, Beyonce revealed that her daughter put in a lot of effort to show her that she had earned a place on stage during the tour.

"She has a natural talent, but I wasn’t keen on having Blue perform on stage," the singer admitted. "However, Blue was determined to take the spotlight for herself. She approached it with dedication and truly deserved the opportunity."

Most importantly, she truly enjoyed herself! Each evening, we witnessed her growth and development right in front of us.

Beyonce mentioned that arrangements needed to be adjusted with Blue Ivy's school to make her academic schedule fit around the five-month tour consisting of 56 shows. She highlighted that her oldest child has shown abilities in various fields.

"Blue is a talented artist," she mentioned. "She has an excellent sense of music and style. She's an incredible editor, painter, and actress. She has been bringing characters to life since she was just three years old."

In her interview with GQ, Beyoncé stated that she aims to ensure her children have a typical upbringing, even with the family's unique level of fame and fortune.

"I've put a lot of effort into ensuring that my children experience as much normality and privacy as they can. I want to prevent my personal life from becoming a commercial venture," she explained. "It's quite common for celebrities to turn their lives into a showcase."

"I've put in a tremendous effort to uphold my limits and ensure the safety of myself and my loved ones. Nothing, not even a large sum of money, can replace my tranquility."

The three seemed joyful on the red carpet after the rapper, known for "99 Problems," dismissed allegations that he and Sean 'Diddy' Combs, 55, assaulted a 13-year-old girl in 2000.

The family's presence was unexpected given the accusations surrounding Jay-Z. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Beyoncé, the famous hip-hop artist, and their daughter Blue Ivy were not announced to the media as attendees of the event, even though they were going to be there.

The family's presence was unexpected given the accusations surrounding Jay-Z. As The Hollywood Reporter pointed out, Beyoncé, the renowned hip-hop artist, and her daughter Blue Ivy had not been officially mentioned in the press as attendees of the event, even though they were participating.

Despite the serious allegations, the trio seemed cheerful and were all smiles on the red carpet after the rapper, known for his hit "99 Problems," denied accusations that he assaulted a 13-year-old girl alongside Sean 'Diddy' Combs, 55, in 2000.

In a statement to Dailymail.com on Sunday, Jay-Z described himself as a target of a "blackmail effort" and expressed concern that his three kids with Beyoncé might have to face harassment following the troubling accusations.

The rapper expressed his particular concern for Blue Ivy, worrying that she might have to answer questions from her friends regarding the lawsuit. He and Beyoncé also have seven-year-old twins, Rumi and Sir.

"My only sorrow lies with my family," Jay-Z expressed. "My wife and I need to sit down with our kids, especially since one of them is old enough that her friends will likely see the media coverage and start asking questions about these allegations. We have to help her understand the harshness and selfishness of some people."

The woman accusing Jay-Z, referred to as Jane Doe in the legal papers obtained by Dailymail.com, claims that she was attacked at a party following the awards show held on September 7, 2000, at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

The lawsuit was originally submitted in October in the Southern District of New York against Combs. However, it was refiled on Sunday, naming the rapper, whose actual name is Shawn Carter.

In his response to the allegations, Jay-Z stated, "My attorney got a blackmail attempt in the form of a demand letter from someone claiming to be a lawyer named Tony Buzbee."

What he figured out was that the kind of accusations being made and the attention from the public would pressure me into agreeing to a settlement. But quite the opposite happened! It motivated me to reveal your true colors as a fraud in a very public way. So no, I won’t pay you a single cent!

Blue Ivy lends her voice to Kiara, the daughter of Simba and Nala, in the Disney movie, while her mother voices Nala, who is Simba's partner.

These accusations are extremely serious, and I strongly encourage you to pursue a criminal complaint rather than a civil one. Anyone who would commit such an offense against a child deserves to be punished and imprisoned, don’t you think?

If that were true, these supposed victims would truly be entitled to genuine justice. From what I've found in my research, this lawyer appears to have a history of engaging in such dramatic tactics!

Jay-Z concluded his remarks by stating, "Only a group of conspiracy theorists and people with no grasp of real science would accept the ridiculous accusations you've made against me. If it weren't for the serious implications regarding the safety of children, these claims would be laughable. I can't wait to demonstrate just how unlike you I truly am."

The announcement was first shared with Dailymail.com and later posted on the Instagram page of Jay-Z's Roc Nation label.
