At just 8-years-old, Beyonce and Jay-Z's eldest daughter has led an eventful life so far, whether she's accompanying her mother on the Lion King soundtrack or walking the red carpet with both her parents in tow.

Famous even before she was born, Blue's arrival was announced to millions in 2011 at the MTV Video Music Awards when Beyonce rubbed her baby bump mid-performance. Since then, all eyes have been on the tiny icon.

Blue proved that she's ready for stardom in her mom's released Netflix documentary and album. She dances alongside her mother and even sings a track of her own, proving she's inherited her mother's gift in the intro to Lift Every Voice and Sing.

Her grandmother, Tina Knowles, knows that she's the true queen of the Carter house.

“Blue is Queen Bee - she’s the second queen,” Miss Tina told Page Six. Sorry, Queen B, looks like there's a new royal in town.

Blue Ivy was welcomed into the world on January 7, 2012, at Manhattan’s Lennox Hill Hospital. Beyoncé described the birth in an interview with Vogue the following year. "I imagined this tiny infant doing all the work, so I couldn’t think about my own pain," she said. "We were talking. I know it sounds crazy, but I felt a communication."

Over the years, Blue Ivy has become a mini celebrity in her own right, frequently stealing the spotlight from her famous parents with her Gucci outfits and signature sass.

When Beyoncé and Blue Ivy are photographed together there's often some outfit coordination involved, like in 2016 when the two posed in front of the Eiffel Tower in matching mint floral dresses.

The two wore matching dresses again for a sweet Mother’s Day photo shoot in 2017.

More recently, Beyonce and Blue Ivy showed up to the Lion King premiere wearing matching bejewelled Alexander McQueen blazers and tulle skirts.

Blue Ivy at The Grammys

Blue Ivy has joined her parents several times at the awards ceremony. During the 2018 Grammys, she showed Beyoncé and Jay-Z who’s boss when she appeared to shush their applause during Camila Cabello’s speech.

She also gave us one of the best mom memes when she was pictured chowing down on snacks while Beyoncé held on to her carton of juice.

And at the 2017 Grammys, Blue Ivy crashed James Corden’s live version of Carpool Karaoke in her pink ruffled Prince-inspired outfit. The performance featured Jennifer Lopez and John Legend. But, as one of Corden’s biggest fans, Blue Ivy outshone them all.

Blue’s Freestyle” and music video cameos

As the daughter of two of the biggest music stars on the planet, there’s no telling what kind of natural talent Blue Ivy has inherited from her parents.

She's already contributed vocals to Jay-Z’s 4:44 track 'Legacy' and for the album’s bonus track 'Blue’s Freestyle.' For Blue Ivy’s sixth birthday, Jay-Z released a music video for “Blue’s Freestyle” that features an animated version of Blue rapping and performing ballet at a talent show.

She made music video cameos in Beyoncé’s 'Formation' and sentimental tribute 'Blue,' along with joining a star-studded cast for Jay-Z’s 'Family Feud' video that envisions Blue Ivy as the future President of the United States.

Blue Ivy on a Carter family holiday

Blue Ivy delivered some serious summer goals when the Carters took a casual family trip to Italy, where Blue appeared completely nonplussed in a pair of cat-eyed sunglasses with a tropical drink. Just your typical bucket and spade family holiday then...

Blue Ivy doing The Roc at Jay-Z’s show

From attending concerts as a toddler to watching Beyoncé at Coachella, Blue Ivy might be her parents’ most loyal fan. This was also evident when she taught a friend how to throw up “The Roc” (Jay-Z’s signature diamond-shape symbol) during her father’s performance of 'On To The Next One' at a London show this past June.

If there’s anyone who could outdo Beyoncé on the red carpet, it would be Blue Ivy herself. The young Carter turned heads at the 2016 VMAs with her glittering metallic dress designed by luxury children’s brand Mischka Aoki. It was reportedly priced at around $11,000.

Blue Ivy ticking off grandma for breaking the rules

Blue Ivy clearly doesn't suffer fools gladly - she even apparently called out her dad for an unfriendly tone he used with her in the car. She appears to be keeping her grandmother, Tina Knowles, in check too.

During a trip to Paris this past May, Ms. Tina attempted to sneak an Instagram video of a ballet theatre. Just as she was filming, Blue Ivy can be heard off-camera telling her video is not allowed. Don't even attempt to bend the rules on Blue's watch.

Blue Ivy's scene-stealing appearance on the Homecoming album

Blue is basically a star now and not just because of her yachting photos. She has her own version of 'Lift Every Voice and Sing' on her mom's live Homecoming album which she dropped to coincide with the Netflix documentary's release. "I wanna do it again...it feels good!" she tells her mom after singing the sweet song. She also appears in the doc, watching her performance and helping out with the choreography.

Get ready for the next generation of Knowles women to take the stage.

Blue Ivy's selfie with Megan Thee Stallion

Proving she already has great taste (obviously) Blue and her mom posed alongside up-and-coming rapper Megan Thee Stallion (who coined the term #HotGirlSummer). The photobooth picture came from Queen B's New Year's Eve party - and looks like Blue is already having an epic 2020.
