Today, Beyoncé and Jay-Z delighted fans by unveiling the first images of their newborn, Blue Ivy Carter.
The ecstatic parents shared a collection of personal portraits of their cherished daughter, who arrived just over a month prior.
Rather than selling the exclusive baby photos to a high-end magazine for a hefty sum, the couple chose to take the initiative by posting images of Blue on a Tumblr blog.
In one of the images, the 30-year-old music icon can be seen radiating joy as she embraces her daughter.
Although the focus is soft on the former Destiny’s Child member, baby Blue is depicted with clarity, and Beyoncé’s blue nails are prominently visible, likely a nod to her daughter.
The proud couple established a blog featuring these personal family moments, accompanied by a heartfelt message.
The message read: ‘We welcome you to share in our joy. Thank you for respecting our privacy during this beautiful time in our lives. The Carter Family.’
Numerous close-up shots of the adorable baby reveal not only her full head of hair but also her rose-bud mouth and almond-shaped brown eyes.
In one portrait, Blue Ivy is gazing past the camera, while another captures the tiny baby peacefully asleep.
These touching and captivating images mark the first public release of Blue Ivy photos.
Just last week, Beyoncé made her initial public appearance since her birth on January 7, showcasing her impressive post-labor figure.
Stepping out twice in just a couple of nights last week, it was hard to believe she had given birth just a month earlier.
Not only was she flaunting her figure, but Beyoncé was also spotted wearing an impressive piece of jewelry gifted to her as a ‘push present’.
It’s believed her rapper husband purchased the blue ring, symbolizing their daughter’s name, in a tradition where new fathers reward the mother after childbirth.
Always a fashionista, the dazzling piece was color-coordinated with Beyoncé’s blue nail polish as she made her second public appearance since becoming a mother on January 7.
Her first outing took place the previous evening on Monday night, where she dazzled in a striking red Alice Temperley cocktail dress that showcased her post-baby curves.
This was a smart decision, as the 30-year-old was looking picture-perfect for the first night of Jay-Z’s two-night stint at NYC’s Carnegie Hall.
This success clearly boosted the songstress’s confidence, leading her to take it up a notch last night by donning a more daring outfit.
The gown, crafted by bridal favorite Monique Lhuillier, hugged her figure and was adorned with sequins that gracefully traced the sweetheart neckline and rounded her cleavage.
She completed the ensemble with Gucci heels, a Chanel handbag, Lorraine Schwartz jewelry, and the bounciest curls in true celebrity style.
