- Blue Ivy, 14, made her Met debut in a white Balenciaga gown with crystal‑embellished heels as she joined her parents on the museum’s famed steps.
- A widely shared video shows Blue Ivy declining repeated requests from assistants and Jay‑Z to remove her sunglasses as photographers shot the family.
- Another clip captures Beyoncé thanking red‑carpet staff and asking helpers to fix Blue Ivy’s dress, drawing praise for her calm, polite approach and comparisons to Blake Lively’s tense moment with assistants.
