Blue Ivy Carter is growing up to look just like her mom.
Beyoncé took to her official website to post a series of throwback photos from her 38th birthday celebration with her family. And in one of the never-before selfies, Beyoncé smiles next to her adorable eight-year-old daughter, both wearing matching turquoise swimsuits and sporting their hair in voluminous half-ponytails. In another, the duo appear to be in a pool, laughing as they pair pink peony flowers with their pouts.
Another set of photos reveals that the superstar celebrated her 38th birthday with a bee-themed affair, as her chocolate cake was adorned with honeybees and a "Happy Birthday, Bee!" message. Another image shows Beyoncé holding her three-year-old daughter, Rumi Carter, on her lap with Blue watching in the background as Bey prepares to blow out her birthday candles.
Sir Carter, Rumi's twin, shows up in the photo set too. In one black-and-white image, Beyoncé is buried in the sand, and her two little ones can be seen playing next to her. And yet, in another, Blue can be seen writing a birthday message to her mother in the sand.
On New Year's Eve, the singer shared a nostalgic 2020 recap video with fans, reflecting on her personal and professional accomplishments throughout the tumultuous year.
"Cheers to a New Year Beehive!! 🎆🎊. 2020 divided us and united us. Most could not see loved ones and we felt too many loses, but we were united by our humanity," the singer captioned the compilation. "This year for me has been about celebrating joy, chasing happiness, and living in love."
She continued, "As we all look forward and pray for new beginnings, my wish for you is that you honor yourself and those you love. Celebrate that you are an important individual who contributes to our beautiful collective.
"Here's to a better and brighter 2021! Love, B."
