Taraji P. Henson and Jenna Bush Hager defended Blue Ivy Carter's gold strapless gown after netizens commented that the look wasn't age-appropriate for the 13-year-old.
During a January 14 episode of Today with Jenna & Friends, Taraji P. Henson, while commenting on Jay-Z and Beyonce's youngest daughter's outfit at the Mufasa: The Lion King premiere, said,
"It's so beautiful. I thought she was age appropriate. She looked like a princess."
Bush "totally agreed" with Taraji and said,
"For anybody that says differently, we say bye-bye."
Taraji also added,
"People need to shut up! It was very classy."
Blue Ivy Carter wore a strappy gold metallic gown with a sweetheart neckline designed by Project Runway alum Christian Siriano, who revealed that he and his team only had two days to make the gown. Siriano mentioned that they wanted Ivy to look like royalty in the dress. Siriano, while commenting on the gown, mentioned,
"What girl doesn't want to have a princess moment? And when your parents are Beyonce and Jay-Z, what are you supposed to wear? A doily? Like, you're not going to wear a tutu. You want to look like a star, come on."
"Kindness really matters" - Taraji P. Henson reacts to trolls about Blue Ivy Carter
