2 nannies, a personal stylist…-Why Blue Ivy is already a diva

2

She may be just six years old but Blue Ivy Carter is already showing signs of being a real little diva — and very much the boss of her billionaire parents Beyonce and Jay-Z.

She was taken to the Grammy Awards on Sunday night in LA (something of a tradition — she’s been attending since 2015).

Seated between her parents, she shushed them with effortless authority when they started clapping singer Camila Cabello during her speech — and caused an instant internet sensation.

Of course, you can’t entirely blame the child for her high-handed attitude. But it’s worth considering the peculiar lifestyle which has allowed her to get away with being so spectacularly bossy.

While other children may be playing in the park and having fishfingers for tea, Blue Ivy is already a mogul-in-the-making.

She has her own staff, a personal stylist, a chef and bodyguards. Plans are already afoot for her to launch her own fragrance and clothing lines and her commercial worth is such that her name is being trade-marked.

It’s fair to suggest Blue Ivy is never short of attention. There are two full-time nannies. Her younger siblings — twins Sir and Rumi who were born last June — also have two nannies each.

Before she started school, the nannies were reportedly giving Blue Ivy a head start in French, Swahili and art.

The same report suggested she is a ‘picky eater’ which will be a challenge for the chef, who apparently tempts her with wholewheat pasta shaped like ballet dancers and pureed asparagus.

There is also a full time security detail. There were reports that when she was born, in New York’s Lenox Hill hospital in 2012, the security entourage was enormous and obstructed other hospital visitors.

When it comes to getting dressed, she calls on the services of stylist Manuel Mendez, who is based in New York and employed by Parkwood, Beyonce’s management company. For the past two years Blue Ivy has been styled by Manuel, rather than sharing a stylist with her mother, who is looked after by Ty Hunter, or her father who is dressed by June Ambrose.

A SPECIAL SCHOOL

Nothing but the best is good enough for Blue Ivy, and she attends the Center for Early Education in Los Angeles.

The family moved from New York to the West Coast last year so she could attend — on the urging of Beyonce’s close friend Gwyneth Paltrow, who insists there’s no better place to raise a family.

The CEE costs between £15,000 and £21,000 a year which Jay-Z, 48, and Beyonce, 36, can easily afford as they are worth a combined £887 million. Founded by psychoanalysts in 1939 it is a progressive school and wildly oversubscribed — 1,000 applicants chase 60 places each year.
