Blue Ivy, 13, enjoys shopping spree in Paris ahead of joining mum Beyoncé on stage for Cowboy Carter tour

Daily Mail​20-06-2025

Blue Ivy was seen soaking up some well-earned downtime in Paris ahead of her second performance in the city, where she'll join her mum Beyoncé on stage for her Cowboy Carter tour.
The 13-year-old looked effortlessly stylish as she stepped out for a shopping spree at Le Bon Marché on Friday.
She rocked a black Bape T-shirt paired with grey denim shorts and sleek grey trainers.
Adding to her cool off-duty look, Blue shielded her eyes with chic black sunglasses and appeared in great spirits as she sampled perfumes inside the luxury department store.
The nepo baby showcased her explosive choreography as she led a troupe of her mom's backing dancers in front of 70,000 fans at California 's SoFi stadium in April.
With music in her genes, it seems fitting that Blue has inherited a taste not only for the industry, but also the spotlight.
Now, the Daily Mail can reveal the seasoned performer wants more than to saddle up beside her mother – she wants to take the reins and pen her own body of work.
'Blue is considering starting her own career in music,' our insider said. 'Some of Beyoncé's favorite writers are quietly penning demos for her in anticipation of a solo album.'
With no shortage of industry bigwigs to lean on, the youngster has reportedly sought help from her famous aunt Solange Knowles and already has tracks lined up from The-Dream, should she want them.
The American songwriter and producer has long worked with Beyoncé, co-writing songs including Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) and Break My Soul from her Grammy-winning Renaissance album. He also worked with Jay-Z on his 2013 track No Church in the Wild.
'Blue is also writing material with help from Solange,' our source continued. 'The-Dream has been spearheading it, and he has two or three records for her.
'They know the fans want to hear a Blue record.'
They added: 'She is only allowed to listen to age-appropriate songs from artists and has been listening to Infinity Song, Michelle Williams' Heart 2 Yours record and Goapele.'
Blue Ivy's foray into solo stardom won't be her first shot at singing. The young teen, whose fan base is known as the Ivy League, had credits to her name long before reaching double digits.
Dubbed 'the most famous baby in the world' by TIME, just ten days after her birth in January 2012 her coos and cries featured on her dad's track Glory. The following year she landed a credit on her mom's single Blue from her self-titled album.
Aged seven, she sang on Homecoming: The Live Album – a collection of recordings from Beyoncé's record-breaking Coachella 2018 set – performing her own rendition of hymn Lift Every Voice and Sing.
'I want to do it again… I want to do it again,' she says at the end of the track. 'It feels good!'
And do it again she did.
In 2019 she became the youngest female artist to chart on the Hot 100 after featuring on her mom's single Brown Skin Girl – a title she later lost to her sister Rumi after she joined Beyoncé on Protector last year.
The credit also earned Blue a Grammy and the Guinness World Record for youngest individually credited person to receive one of the famous gold-plated gongs.
Soon followed a cascade of accolades, all before she had started secondary education, as well as a spot on her mom's record-breaking Renaissance World Tour - which saw her criticised for her moves.
In 2023 she finally showcased her singing live on stage in Dubai with a duet with her mom who was making her return to the stage for the first time in four years. The one-hour set earned the pop superstar a reported $35 million.
And Blue Ivy could challenge her mom's fortune if she is able to shake the nepo baby tag and deliver real talent.
'Blue Ivy could easily secure multi-million-dollar deals, lucrative brand partnerships, and significant earnings from streaming platforms and endorsements right from the start,' said PR expert Stacy Jones Founder and CEO, Hollywood Branded. 'Think Olivia Rodrigo or Billie Eilish, but amplified due to her family background.
'Could she become as big as Beyoncé? Honestly, that's an extraordinarily high bar, but if Blue Ivy delivers real talent, authenticity, and genuinely connects with fans, especially Gen Z, there's no reason she couldn't carve out her own substantial legacy.'

Ivanka Trump sparks security fears at Jeff Bezos wedding with intimate photo 'revealing location'

Ivanka Trump has sparked security fears after she potentially revealed the new location of the star-studded wedding between Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez. The three-day party, $48 million affair in Venice had a last minute venue change due to protests from angry locals and global tensions arising from the US strike on Iran over this past weekend. Ivanka has ignited concerns after she posted a photo of her hotel room number alongside several pictures of herself and husband Jared Kushner in their formal attire. 'Ready to celebrate the love story of our friends, Lauren Sanchez and @JeffBezos,' she posted on X on Thursday afternoon. The image set contained a photograph of a white door with the couple's room number and the word 'Dolce Vita' written on the front. It immediately sparked concerned replies from eagle-eyed social media users. 'Did you dox location by posting the photo of that door?' one person replied to her post, which has now been seen by more than 235,000 people. The pre-wedding festivities began Thursday with what was believed to be the rehearsal dinner, an event attended by a long list of celebrities. They include Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Leonardo DiCaprio, Orlando Bloom and Tom Brady, all of whom were dressed to the nines. Ivanka and Kushner were seen arriving in Venice ahead of the event in a gondola. The couple previously jetted in with their children Arabella Rose, 13, Joseph Frederick, 10, and Theodore James, eight. The first daughter shared snaps of her and husband Jared Kushner, but included one image which may have given away the location of the exclusive event One person replied with concern to her post, which has now been seen by more than 235,000 people Ivanka is one of the most insulated guests at the wedding, since she has a Secret Service detail that is no doubt causing a headache for other partygoers. A heavy police presence has been spotted in the city ahead of the nuptials, while divers were seen conducting sweeps of the canals. On Thursday, the bride was seen sporting terrifyingly tight corset for the party, while her Amazon billionaire groom was dressed in a white shirt, black suit and sunglasses. Bezos held out his hand as he and Sanchez stepped aboard a water taxi, before the the couple shared a quick kiss in front of adoring fans. Ivanka and her family jetted off to Venice on Tuesday to make the wedding. The family has been seeing enjoying the sites, spotted getting into a water taxi to explore the city on Wednesday. Ivanka has been sharing their trip to social media, posting some snaps from the family vacation later on in the day. 'Da Venezia, con amore,' she captioned a series of photos, which translates to 'From Venice, with love.' The upcoming wedding seems to be a family affair for Ivanka, as other members of the Trump family are rumored to be among the 200 guests. The original plan was for a huge party at the Scuola Grande della Misericordia on Saturday night, but it has now been moved to another venue in the Arsenale area of the city, according to local media. A source revealed to Daily Mail that around 60 of Venice's water taxis are reserved for the week, with some of the 400 gondolas on the island out of commission as well. Bezos' superyacht, Koru, which includes a bronze goddess statue that shares similarities with his lover Sanchez, is also in the area, moored off the coast of Croatia, which is located across from Italy in the Mediterranean. However, not all are happy about Bezos taking over the city for days. On Monday, Greenpeace activists unfurled a huge banner in St Mark's Square, the iconic heart of Venice protesting against the wedding. It showed an image of Bezos face and the slogan: 'If you can rent Venice for your wedding then you can pay more tax.' Activists from British group 'Everyone Hates Elon' were also involved and said they had carried it out to highlight the, 'environmental and social injustice of the wedding'. One said: 'Bezos encapsulates an economic and social model which is steering us towards collapse. 'All to often now social injustice travels on an equal par with the climate, on one side the arrogance of a few billionaires who have a lifestyle that devastates the planet, the other people who suffer daily from the environment crisis.' These demonstrations are part of the reason why Bezos chose to move part of the wedding elsewhere. He's also hired a team of former US marines to provide security for the event. The actual wedding ceremony is set to kick off on Friday.

Tyson Fury's true feelings on retirement revealed following conversations with WBC president

Tyson Fury insists he's retired... but that doesn't mean he's at peace. The Gypsy King has kept up regular contact with WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman since hanging up his gloves for the fourth time following his second defeat by Oleksandr Usyk in December last year. And while Fury is adamant he's done with boxing, it's clear the decision in that rematch — when all three judges called the fight 116-112 to Usyk — still stings. Sulaiman told Sky Sports this week: 'I call him regularly and he said: "Oh I'm so happy, retired, I'm here with my wife." 'He didn't hint whatsoever that he was planning on coming back. 'He told me he was not happy with the decision in the second fight with Usyk. He's still very bitter about the judges' scoring and he was very upset but he was retired, that's what he said.' It's a glimpse into the mindset of a fighter who has danced with retirement almost as often as he has with his rivals in the ring. Fury may claim he is content to be out of the sport, but the frustration of that unanimous points loss is a reminder that the fire still burns. Even Sulaiman can't rule out a comeback, adding: 'Maybe like in The Godfather, the movie, maybe we'll hear him say: "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!" We don't know…' Despite Fury's insistence that he is retired, the heavyweight division continues to buzz with speculation about another comeback. In April, Fury linked back up with trainer SugarHill Steward in the gym, filming himself and teasing: 'You know what's coming.' He has also revealed he's been enjoying twice-daily training sessions and sharing his love of working out on social media. With Anthony Joshua still waiting for that long-awaited 'Battle of Britain' clash, promoter Eddie Hearn recently admitted the ball was firmly in Fury's court. 'The way that fight gets made is probably Tyson reaches out to AJ and says, "Mate, do you fancy it?" And he'll go, "100 per cent, let's f***ing do it," Hearn said.

Neil Young's Glastonbury headline set to be broadcast live on BBC after U-turn

Neil Young's headline set at Glastonbury Festival will now be shown live on the BBC on Saturday night, the corporation has announced. It had previously said the Canadian rock veteran's set would not be broadcast live 'at the artist's request'. Advertisement A spokesperson said: 'We are delighted to confirm that Neil Young's headline set from Glastonbury on Saturday will be broadcast live to audiences across the UK on the BBC.' Neil Young performing on the Pyramid Stage during the 2009 Glastonbury Festival (PA) Young's set will be shown on the BBC iPlayer Pyramid Stage stream from 10pm, as well as broadcast on BBC Two and BBC Radio 2. The 79-year-old will be part of the five-day celebration of performing arts and music with his band the Chrome Hearts. Earlier in the year the singer, who began his career in the 1960s with the band Buffalo Springfield, said he had initially turned down the offer to perform at the festival, saying it was 'under corporate control' of the BBC in a message on his website. Advertisement But he then backtracked and was announced as one of the headliners, saying he had 'always loved' the event and he was looking forward to performing. Playing around the same time as Young on Saturday night is Brat star Charli XCX, who will grace the Other Stage, and US rapper Doechii, who will perform on the West Holts Stage. Young was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame with short-lived band Buffalo Springfield in 1997, two years after he was inducted as a solo artist. He headlined Glastonbury, alongside US star Bruce Springsteen and Britpop band Blur, 16 years ago. Advertisement
