As Blue Ivy grew older, she continued to face harsh scrutiny over her appearance. In 2020, a journalist and a social media influencer faced backlash for making disparaging comments about her facial features, which many perceived as rooted in colorism. This incident reignited conversations about the public’s treatment of celebrity children, particularly those of color. Born into immense wealth, Blue Ivy has been criticized for the privileges she enjoys, such as wearing designer clothing and attending exclusive events. Critics have questioned whether such displays of affluence are appropriate, especially when shared publicly, though others argue that her life is simply a reflection of her parents’ success.
