Beyoncé's eight-year-old daughter Rumi Carter was living her best life during Jay-Z's grandmother's lavish 100th birthday party. Rumi turned heads in a video posted by Beyoncé, as she danced the night away alongside her parents and great-grandmother Hattie White on September 27 in New York City. She donned an elegant white cocktail dress with a tutu bottom, textured flowers on its top, silver flats and long braids, as pictures showcased her holding her family member's hands as she showed off her best moves.

Beyoncé looked like a bombshell in her black corseted satin and suede dress with a deep frontal cut, white fur shawl, black gloves and classy Hollywood curls. The singer's customized gold purse stole the show being that it depicted Hattie's face on a coin with the city skyline behind her, and it read: "Hattie 100 Club" on the back. Jay-Z wore a sleek tuxedo and Tina Knowles rocked a red power suit.

Hattie was an absolute vision in a gorgeous blue two-piece with silver sequins, as she sported matching nails and had a blue hue in her white and braided hair bun. The "Single Ladies" performer's video showcased guests playing at a poker table, a delicious golden cake alongside gold balloons, and a long dinner table with gold accents.
