Blue Ivy’s Fairy-Themed Birthday Party is Goals


Most of us, at age four, would have been happy with a princess-themed cake on birthdays. But when you’re Beyoncé’s child, you get much more than that.

Though it’s been months since Blue Ivy’s birthday on January 7, Bey does as Bey does and has only just now graced us with the photos from the event (and yes, it was an all-out event). The fairy-themed party wasn’t just #goals for her fellow toddlers—it’s #goals for us, too. Guests—including the likes of Kelly Rowland and Gwyneth Paltrow’s kids—were welcomed among paper flowers hanging from the roof of a clear outdoor tent. A banquet-style table, complete with a boho patchwork tablecloth, was surrounded by white chairs that donned fairy wings. Teepees were scattered around for the ULTIMATE playtime.


Birthday girl Blue was wearing a pre-school chic look: a long tulle tutu and an embellished light pink leotard. Just like her mom, Blue is always willing to take a risk and proved it by rocking low-top grey Converse paired with her pink versus the traditional ballet slipper.

To make it all even better, real life fairy princesses made an appearance; then Blue did an outfit change into a silky, butterfly emblazoned dress fit for a queen. Obviously, this number was accessorized with a silver crown and light pink fairy wings. Blue was even snapped toting a bow and shooting plastic arrows at a bullseye.


We feel SO blessed that Beyoncé let us have a sneak peek into Blue’s magical birthday via her Tumblr despite all the privacy she demands. As for our next party theme… well, that’s a no-brainer.
