Beyoncé shook our souls when she showed up to the MTV VMAs with her 4-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, on Sunday. The singer, who is nominated for 11 awards and was rumored to be performing during the show [1] for weeks, popped up at Madison Square Garden looking like a her usual fierce self in a Francesco Scognamiglio feathered gown [2] covered in crystals, while Blue wore a fluffy princess dress complete with wings; the mother-daughter duo also sported matching braids [3] and walked the carpet with a posse of Lemonade stars, including her artists Chloe and Halle Bailey [4], model Winnie Harlow, and the mothers of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown [5]. While MTV confirmed news of Beyoncé hitting the stage [6] hours before the show — though most of us in the Beyhive had a feeling she would be gracing us with her presence — Blue Ivy's adorable guest appearance was one we didn't see coming.
