Blue Ivy Carter, at just 12 years old, made a striking appearance in a golden bronze ball gown that truly made her the belle of the red carpet.
As Kiara in this film, she is continuing the family legacy, following in her mother Beyoncé’s footsteps, who voiced Nala in the 2019 adaptation of “The Lion King.” Beyond her role in “Mufasa: The Lion King,” Blue Ivy has been busy touring the world last year with her mother on the Renaissance tour, where she has been building her own fanbase. Clearly, the Knowles-Carter family has a bright future ahead in the entertainment industry.
