Blue Ivy Carter’s NBA appearance had fans doing a double-take, as she looked just like Beyoncé
On Dec. 10, 2025, Blue Ivy Carter joined Jay-Z at a Los Angeles Lakers vs. San Antonio Spurs game — and Blue Ivy looked more grown than ever. According to E! News, the teenager sported an oversized Balenciaga jacket with cargo jeans and a Diesel purse.
While Blue’s style evoked old images of her famous mother, Beyoncé, it’s her hair that has everyone talking. The 13-year-old straightened her curls and styled her straight hair with a middle part. Her dark hair with highlighted tips has everyone thinking that she looks just like her ultra-famous mother.
As for Jay-Z, he kept it cool in all black. He wore a black sweater, slacks, a beanie, and dark sunglasses.
This isn’t the first time that fans have noticed Blue Ivy’s straight hair. In 2024, The Root noted that Blue Ivy utilized a silk press to get her hair silky-smooth and straight. The chemical-free hair straightening method is perfect for those with naturally curly or coiled hair. This also means that Blue can go from straight to curly with ease, though a silk press can also typically last up to two weeks.
