Blue Ivy Carter turned heads at the Los Angeles Lakers game this week as she stepped out in a look that immediately reminded fans of her mom, Beyoncé. Sitting courtside with her dad, Jay-Z, the 13-year-old showcased a mix of nostalgic fashion, updated beauty, and her own growing sense of style, creating a moment that quickly sparked online buzz. According to Page Six, fans couldn’t help but notice how much she resembled her mother as cameras caught the duo throughout the night.
Blue Ivy Revives Beyoncé’s Iconic Isabel Marant Wedges
Blue Ivy’s outfit drew instant attention, thanks in part to a pair of Isabel Marant wedge sneakers famously linked to Beyoncé’s early 2010s street style. Per Footwear News, Blue wore the Bekett hidden-wedge sneakers in a burgundy and black colorway, styled with dark denim cargo jeans, a black-and-silver Balenciaga racer jacket, and a silver Diesel mini bag. The sneakers, which retail for around $790 today, have recently resurfaced in trend cycles after years of being considered one of Beyoncé’s go-to silhouettes.
Fans online immediately pointed out that Beyoncé wore nearly the same pair in 2013, prompting speculation that Blue Ivy may have borrowed them straight from her mom’s archive. Others noted that Isabel Marant recently reissued several versions of the wedge, leaving room for debate on whether they were vintage or newly purchased. Still, the look served as a clear nod to Beyoncé’s signature “Love on Top” era, when she wore the sneaker in multiple colors on and off stage.
WWD reports that the sneaker’s resurgence has been driven by renewed celebrity interest and a spike in global demand, making Blue Ivy’s courtside moment perfectly timed.
A New Silk Press Marks Her Evolving Teen Style
Blue Ivy didn’t just channel her mom through fashion — she debuted a new hairstyle that also felt distinctly Beyoncé-coded. According to Essence, the teen swapped out her usual boho braids for a smooth silk press with honey-blonde tips. The color and length gave fans flashbacks to Beyoncé’s soft blonde looks from mid-2000s NBA appearances, while still feeling age-appropriate and modern.
This latest courtside appearance reflects how Blue’s style has evolved over the years. At past games, she has been seen in pigtails, French curl braids, twist outs, and other childhood styles. Now, her silk press paired with glossed lips, brown liner, and oval French tip nails signals a new era as she grows into her own beauty identity while still drawing inspiration from her mother.
With each public appearance, Blue Ivy continues to show a blend of confidence, maturity, and individuality. As Essence put it, her courtside look “made a statement, while also staying true to herself.”
