‘Look Like Someone Threw Flour on Them’: Rare Photo of a Makeup-Less Beyoncé with Daughter Blue Ivy and Nephew Julez Has Fans Doing a Double Take

Beyoncé’s unforgettable “Renaissance World Tour” has come to an end, and it looks like the megastar is catching up on some well-deserved family time. 

A new photo of the “Dangerously in Love” songstress posing alongside her elder daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, and her nephew, Daniel Julez J. Smith Jr., made waves online on Monday, Oct. 9.

Bey’s face is noticeably bare-faced in the image, with red lipstick covering her mouth. The singer’s blond braids could be seen being pulled into a top-knot bun.

As for Blue, the superstar in the making appeared relatively comfortable in a Rolling Stone T-shirt, jeans, and her mom’s black hoodie. The preteen’s jet-black boho braids fell past her shoulders and were styled in a middle part. 

Julez, who is the son of Solange Knowles, rocked a green and yellow striped shirt while he sat between his aunt and cousin.

The 18-year-old and 11-year-old didn’t show any teeth as they smirked at the camera while Yoncé pursed her lips. The rare photo was soon plastered all throughout social media, finding a way to The Neighborhood Talk’s Instagram page.

Many of the outlet’s commenters couldn’t believe how youthful the “Dreamgirls” actress looked in the photos, while a few also pointed out how fair their skin seemed. 

“Am I tripping or why is everyone so light?”

“My eyes went straight to Bey that woman knows she looks good without trying.” 

“What’s up with the lighting? They look like someone threw flour on them.” 

A few other comments suggested that the Knowles family had some strong genes and claimed that each individual in the photo resembled the queen of the hierarchy, Tina Knowles.

“Tina genes so strong it’s ridiculous lol.” 

“Them god damn Tina Knowles genes are strong.” 

Tina Knowles is often praised for being a class act and for raising two successful daughters she often praises online. The 69-year-old’s most recent Instagram post was a throwback video that featured herself and her 28-time Grammy-winning daughter. 

“Wow, this is an old Amex Commercial we all did. But it’s still What a typical day looks like sometimes for her,” she wrote. 

The House of Deréon creator also shared several videos of herself enjoying the various stops of Beyoncé’s 39-city tour. Mama Tina accompanied her older daughter to many shows, including her first batch of concerts in Europe. 

Come Dec. 1, fans will be given an exclusive look into Bey’s ninth concert tour through her newest film, “Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé.”

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
