    Blue Ivy Carter is undoubtedly one of the most adorable A-list children we've ever seen, and here's why...

    Blue Ivy's parents may have the crowns of hip-hop and pop firmly perched on their heads, but Beyonce and Jay-Z's adorable daughter can't help but steal the spotlight away from her superstar mum and dad.

    With her cute curls, a wardrobe fit for a style queen and a grin that leaves us warm on the inside, it's easy to see why we've fallen for this toddler.

    What's more, she's given us a glimpse into life as a Carter-Knowles, because Bey can't help but share her collection of touching family moments with her daughter and husband on Tumblr for the world to see.
