Blue Ivy was first spotted performing her mom's latest choreography in May, when the Renaissance World Tour came to Paris. The 11-year-old surprised crowds on stage for Beyoncé's songs "My Power" and "Black Parade."

Bey herself took to Instagram to congratulate her eldest child on her tour debut. The "Cuff It" singer shared a photo and two clips of Blue in the glittery silver costume.

"My beautiful first born 🙏🏾 I’m so proud and thankful to be your mama," she captioned the post. "You bring us so much joy, my sweet angel."

That Bloodline

Once again, Knowles documented Blue's sweet moves, this time capturing a very fitting moment from the "My Power" set.

In the clip, Beyonce looks over to her mini-me as she sings her lyrics, "This that bloodline on the frontline, ready for war," and adds, "Go Blue!" The two then break into synchronized moves as the crowd cheers.

"11 year old Blue doing the choreo of adults looking cool as hell and killing it!! In front of 60k people!!!!" Knowles captioned the Instagram video.

Pumped Up

Blue returned with an impressive new on-stage feat–or rather, impressive new feet! Knowles shared a video of the 11-year-old wearing high-heeled shoes during her cameo in "My Power," for which she matched her mom in a camouflage ensemble.

Text accompanying the dance clip – which was captured at Bey's Philadelphia performance in July – read, "Blue is back and is wearing heels!"

After a four year hiatus from headlining performances, Beyoncé returned to the stage in January 2023 with an hour-long set in Dubai. But the hitmaker wasn't coming back alone: Blue Ivy joined her mom on stage for a duet. They sang the song "Brown Skin Girl," which comes off Beyoncé's 2019 Lion King companion album.

Blue Ivy made a blink-and-you'll-miss-it appearance during her mom's opening performance at the 2022 Academy Awards. She wasn't technically on the stage, since Beyoncé sang her Oscar-nominated single "Be Alive" on a tennis court in L.A.'s Compton neighborhood, but Blue's likeness did appear on screen in Hollywood's Dolby Theatre.

As Beyoncé's song from the film King Richard wound down, viewers spotted her daughter front and center, matching the other performers in a neon green costume with silver jeweled accessories. Blue Blue, however, stood out as the only girl wearing a pair of sunglasses.
