Blue Ivy, 14, attends the Met Gala for the first time, appearing on the red carpet alongside her parents, Beyoncé and Jay-Z, according to multiple outlets. The coverage places her debut during the 2026 Met Gala and describes her look as a Balenciaga gown. Several reports also say she does not follow a minor red-carpet request involving her sunglasses. Daily Mail and New York Post both describe a moment in which Jay-Z repeatedly asks her to remove her sunglasses, while she appears to ignore the request. New York Post frames the incident as one repeated request on the red carpet, while Daily Mail adds that assistants also make attempts to get her to remove the sunglasses. While the outlets differ in detail and framing, they agree on the core points: this is Blue Ivy’s debut appearance at the Met Gala, she attends with her parents, and she keeps her sunglasses on despite prompts from those around her.
