Beyoncé's daughter Blue Ivy has been making headlines this summer while accompanying her mom on her Renaissance tour

And her star quality certainly hasn't gone unnoticed by fans, or her family for that matter. 

Just ahead of her wedding, which took place in Tribeca, New York City, Jay-Z's mom, Gloria Carter, spoke out on her pride over her 11-year-old granddaughter.
