Blue Ivy Carter Supports Grandma Tina Knowles At Angel Ball 2025
The stars were out for the 27th Annual Angel Ball at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City.
The event is held in memory of Gabrielle Rich Aouad, who was diagnosed with advanced stage Hodgkin's disease at just 23 years old.
Gabrielle's last wish was to make a leukemia foundation that would help spare others the suffering she went through, according to the foundation website. One of their goals would be to invest in research for better treatments for leukemia so that people don't have to suffer the side effects and damage of chemotherapy and radiation.
Gabrielle's Angel Foundation has awarded more than $45 million in research grants to the best and brightest scientists in America, and the annual Angel Ball plays a huge role in raising those funds.
Tina Knowles was a guest of honor at the black-tie event, attending the ball with her grandson, Blue Ivy Carter.
While photos of Beyoncé and Jay-Z's eldest child were not taken on the red carpet, photos obtained by PEOPLE showing off how gorgeous she looked, wearing a pastel pink silk gown with feathered sleeves on top.
Bey also shared a beautiful photo of her eldest and her mother on Instagram.
Blue Ivy hit the red carpet where Knowles posed for photos along with Destiny's Child member Michelle Williams. The teenager smiled for the paparazzi as she made her way into the building, wearing her hair in curly, blonde braids.
Earlier that day, Mama Tina spoke with Sherri Shepherd on the Sherri Show, where she praised Blue Ivy for performing on stage with her mother in front of an audience of 70,000 people a night during the Cowboy Carter tour.
“Because you have to be taught that,” Knowles began. “Kids don't learn it by mere accident. You have to tell them, 'It's more important to be a good person.' And that you have to work for what you get,” she told Shepherd. “Nobody's going to give it to you just because you're somebody's daughter or because they like you. You have to work hard.”
