Beyonce Knowles took a break from her world tour to attend a family affair. Over the weekend, the Carters, including the R&B diva, her husband Jay-Z and their daughter Blue Ivy, gathered to celebrate the rapper’s mother’s nuptials.
Jay-Z’s mom Gloria Carter, who came out as a lesbian six years ago, tied the knot with her longtime partner Roxanne Wilshire on Sunday, July 2. For the lavish wedding at Tribeca 360° in Manhattan, Beyonce and Blue were dressed to the nines.
In pictures obtained by Daily Mail, the “Crazy in Love” songstress bared cleavage in a peach-colored dress, which she paired with a pink-feathered shrug and matching heart-print handbag. Her long blonde hair was styled in big curls and an updo as she added a pair of stylish sunglasses.
Blue was almost as tall as her mother as she rocked a green silk dress with a pair of high heels when walking down a Big Apple street. She and her mother were holding hands as they were joined by Beyonce’s mom Tina Knowles Lawson, who opted for a white long-sleeve top and pink skirt.
Jay-Z also did not miss his mother’s big day, opting for a sleek blue tailored suit as he entered the building ahead of the ladies.
Gloria donned a white jacket and matching pants with black shoes as her bride wore a white dress with silver designs as seen in pictures published by TMZ. Beyonce’s former Destiny’s Child groupmate Kelly Rowland, Tyler Perry, Robin Roberts (II) and her longtime partner Amber Laign as well as Corey Gamble were among guests at the party. The soiree reportedly wrapped up around 1 A.M.
Jay-Z has been supportive of his mother Gloria, letting her jump on his 2017 song “Smile” to open up about her sexuality. On the song, she talked about “living in the shadows” as a gay woman. He also gave her a shout-out at the 2019 GLAAD Media Awards, thanking her for letting him tell her story.
