32-time Grammy winner Beyoncé Knowles-Carter and her eldest child Blue Ivy Carter donned stylish dresses at the lavish wedding of Jay-Z’s mother Gloria Carter at the Tribeca 360° in Manhattan on Sunday.
The 11-year-old Grammy-winning producer – who is currently a backup dancer for her famous 41-year-old mother – wore a green silk dress as she walked down a street in the Big Apple with her grandmother, Tina Knowles Lawson.
Beyoncé – who relies on stylists KJ Moody and Marni Senofonte – showed off distinct cleavage in a peachy dress, which she paired with a pink feathered bolero and matching heart-patterned handbag.
Knowles-Carter’s husband of 15 years – Roc Nation rap mogul Jay-Z – opted for a smart blue tailored suit and tie as he entered the building in front of the ladies.
It was an emotional day for the Brooklyn-born 53-year-old (née Shawn Carter) as he was instrumental in his mother Gloria coming out as a lesbian six years ago.
Hold hands! 32-time Grammy winner Beyoncé Knowles-Carter and her eldest child Blue Ivy Carter donned glamorous dresses for the glamorous wedding of Jay-Z’s mother Gloria Carter at the Tribeca 360° in Manhattan on Sunday
Beautiful earrings! The 11-year-old Grammy-winning producer, who currently doubles as a backup dancer for her famous 41-year-old mother, wore a green silk dress as she strutted down a street in the Big Apple with her grandmother, Tina Knowles Lawson (L.) and another lady (2-L)
The Shawn Carter Foundation CEO on Sunday tied the knot with Wiltshire Foundation President Roxanne Wiltshire, a Trinidadian-born, New Jersey-based mother of two after dating since 2018.
Gloria spoke of “living two lives happily but not free” when she publicly came out as a featured artist on Jay-Z’s track “Smile” in 2017.
The 24-time Grammy winner – who was 11 when his father Adnis Reeves left the family – rapped, “Mom had four kids but she’s a lesbian / Had to pretend to be an actress for so long / Had to have me So hide it in the closet.” She medicated.
“The shame of society and the pain was too much to bear / Cried with joy when you fell in love / I don’t care if it’s a him or her / I just want to see you smile despite all the hate .”
In 2018, Carter — who received an honorary doctorate from Lincoln University in 2021 — was honored with a special recognition trophy for the rap track at the GLAAD Media Awards, and she gushed about finding her partner.
“Love gave me the courage to take the power I allowed other people over my life for fear they would share my secret,” the former investment firm executive said on stage at the Hilton Midtown.
‘I am a person who has the right to love the one I love.’ So everyone, just smile, be free.’
That same year, Jay-Z recalled on “My Guest Needs No Introduction,” starring David Letterman, “That she sat in front of me and said to me, ‘I think I love someone,’ I mean, I really cried.” That is a real story. I cried because I was so happy for her that she was free.’

Gloria’s wedding was also attended by Good Morning America co-host Robin Roberts and her 18-year-old partner, Amber Laign, co-founder of Plant Juice Oils.
The 62-year-old 2013 Daytime Emmy winner wore a glittery blue pantsuit and white oxfords, while the 48-year-old former massage therapist opted for a cranberry silk dress and nude peep-toe heels
Robin – who has 850,000 Instagram followers – posted an auto-selfie with the coy caption: “Special date night with Sweet Amber.” Wishing everyone a happy and safe bank holiday weekend. #sundayvibes.’
Honorary Oscar and Emmy winner Tyler Perry – who owns his own film/television studio in Atlanta – dressed far more casually for the ceremony, wearing a sporty sweatshirt, paint-splattered ombré jeans and sneakers.
Meanwhile, the Texan R&B diva will be bringing her sold-out, 57-date Renaissance world tour to Toronto’s Rogers Center this Saturday and Sunday in support of her seventh studio album.
Back in February, Billboard predicted that Beyoncé’s ninth concert tour would gross about $300 million.
