PICS: Blue Ivy ‘didn’t come to play’ with the paps!

Cape Town - In a surprise appearance, Beyoncé strode onstage in sparkling pinstripes on Monday evening at the annual Council of Fashion Designers of America awards ceremony.

But it was little Blue Ivy - who attended with her honouree mother and father Jay Z - that stole the show after the glitzy event.

Queen B was honoured with the Fashion Icon award and while usually, organisers announce the name of the Fashion Icon winner well in advance, this year they kept it under wraps until the end of the ceremony.

Jay Z and 4-year-old Blue Ivy were spotted leaving the ceremony when Blue adorably made it clear to the paparazzi that she didn’t want any pictures.

And we aren't the only ones who agree with the tiny tot, but her rapper father looked pretty supportive of her as well.
