No one messes with Blue Ivy.
Jenna Bush Hager and Taraji P. Henson defended Blue Ivy Carter’s gold gown at the “Mufasa: The Lion King” premiere after online trolls questioned if the look was “age appropriate.”
Christian Siriano –– who designed the strapless metallic gold dress for Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s eldest daughter –– appeared on Monday’s episode of “Today with Jenna & Friends” when Bush Hager and Henson praised him for the “gorgeous” gown.
“It’s so beautiful,” Henson raved. “I thought she was age appropriate. She looked like a princess!”
Bush Hager, 43, “totally” agreed with her temporary co-host and added, “For anybody that says differently, we say bye bye.”
“People need to shut up!” Henson, 54, continued. “It was very classy.”
Siriano revealed that he and his team only had two days to make the gown, and they wanted to focus on making the 13 year old look like royalty.
“What girl doesn’t want to have a princess moment?” Siriano, 39, asked. “And when your parents are Beyoncé and Jay-Z, what are you supposed to wear? A doily? Like, you’re not going to wear a tutu. You want to look like a star, come on.”
Henson also pointed out that Blue Ivy is still just “a child” and urged everyone to keep “our opinions to ourselves.”
“Kindness really matters, and it’s not as easy to do,” Henson continued. “You can sit on your phone and Twitter your thumbs all you want to, but let’s see you get on the red carpet and pull off a look.”
Bush Hager chimed in to acknowledge that the dress resembled the color themes of the film she starred in, so it was “what she should be wearing.”
“It was very appropriate,” Henson concluded.
Blue Ivy initially faced some criticism from people online who found the dress “inappropriate.”
Several celebrities –– including Sherri Shepherd and Christina Milian –– have also defended Blue Ivy’s look.
The “Halo” singer has yet to acknowledge the mixed reviews, but she showed her support for her daughter by attending the premiere with her husband, Jay-Z — in a coordinating gold Balmain gown — and praising her daughter in a sweet Instagram post.
“My gorgeous baby girl,” she captioned two photos of her daughter on the red carpet in December. “This is your night. You worked hard and you did such a beautiful job as the voice of Kiara. Your family could not be prouder. Keep shining.”
Beyoncé voiced Queen Nala in the Disney live action prequel, while Blue voiced her daughter Kiara.
