Blue Ivy, 13, who has featured on her parent's current Cowboy Carter tour, kept her face make-up free to show off her natural beauty.
She dressed down in an oversized gray top, blue combat-style jean trousers and Adidas sneakers.
She could well have been mistaken for the chart star as she scooted out of the back seat and onto the pavement.
While Blue Ivy appeared eager to go under the radar, her rapper dad Jay-Z, 55, beamed as he waved to the crowds waiting at the Moet Hennessy in the French capital.
He also opted for jean trousers and a crisp white tee, paired with Timberland boots.
Bey, 43, has headed to France after wrapping the London leg of her Cowboy Carter tour.
SPLASHING OUT
The pair's eldest is making a name for herself in the showbiz world, with The US Sun previously reporting how Destiny's Child band member Beyonce had splashed out $300K on hair and make up for Blue and little sister Rumi, seven, during her epic tour.
A tour logistics veteran close to Beyonce's entourage with over 25 years experience says the superstar shelled out $18,000 in makeup alone, with two artists dedicated just to Blue.
They will cater for little Rumi when it's her turn to appear, but that works out as a whopping $4,000 per day for the specialists.
With Blue set to appear on multiple dates during the 32 date tour, the bill for makeup alone is expected to exceed $120,000.

Hairstylists are also hired, and two stylists are on board for a cool $5,000 a day, and they can work with $65,000 invested by Beyonce on luxury hair products, custom styles and even gold accessories.
A stylist working exclusively with the girls is reportedly being paid $120,000 for the whole tour.
"The tour is a not that long, but there are many shows in same cities, which simplifies a lot of things and also makes it easier for the kids to be part of the show," the source confirmed to The U.S. Sun.
"For them, the expenses are pretty important. A lot of money has been spent on make-up artists, on products and stylists who are paid very well during that tour to help the girls."
Bey admitted in a documentary about her Renaissance tour in 2023 that she originally told Blue 'no' when she asked to perform.
But after reading some brutal online comments, Blue decided to prove everyone wrong—and totally crushed it.
Even dad Jay-Z weighed in on CBS at the time, saying, 'She was born into this life she didn't ask for… everyone has an opinion. But for her to get on stage and take back her power- it's iconic.'
Now in Paris for three dates from June 19 to the 22nd, she has booked suites at the luxurious Four Seasons George V in the French capital, which comes in at $15,200 a night.
"They want to live a full Paris experience, and enjoy a luxury life in the city of love," said the insider.
"They will have a fantastic time for sure!"
Their jet-setting comes as
BLUE IVY'S WORLD
We previously reported how Blue could make millions by building her own empire.
In January, we reported how Jay-Z and Bey were finally allowed to move forward and trademark Blue's name after a 12-year battle.
She took to the stage at an American football Christmas half-time performance before bagging the role of Princess Kiara in the new Lion King movie.
She is also often spotted in matching outfits to Beyonce, with the singer dubbed her mini-me's "tiger mom."
Blue first joined her mum's Renaissance world tour in 2023 as a regular performer.
However, Bey, recently said: 'I did not want Blue on stage. Blue wanted it for herself. She took it seriously and earned it."
It is fair to say, though, that Blue was destined for fame from birth.
When she was just two days old, in January 2012, her dad Jay-Z, 55, released a track called Glory, which featured Blue crying.
It charted, making his daughter the youngest person to appear on a hit single.
Aged three, she was part of the choir on Coldplay song Up&Up, and in 2019 was in a music video for Beyonce's song, Brown Skin Girl.
Blue also plays piano, paints, writes poetry and models clothes.
Beyonce's other daughter Rumi has been in her music videos.
The seven-year-old's twin brother Sir prefers to stay out the spotlight.

Christine McGuinness opens up on her sexuality as she talks about JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes' relationship

I've sort of gone through, not that situation, but similar" Credit: Instagram / itsjojosiwa And Christine, 37, who was married to TV presenter Paddy McGuinness for 11 years, also stated that her "sexuality is not a secret". Now, the mum-of-three has backed US and Big Brother star JoJo Siwa, saying she shouldn't have to 'explain' her sexuality. The Dance Moms star, 22, recently confirmed that she's in a relationship with Big Brother co-star Chris Hughes. And after revealing she was no longer a lesbian in the CBB compound during the show's live stream she said she now wants to identify as queer. Christine said: 'Let them live. I've sort of gone through, not that situation, but similar. 'Being in the public eye and feeling the need to explain your sexuality which I don't think anyone needs to at all. JoJo is so young, she's growing and learning like we all are. Life changes.' Christine continued to tell the Situationship podcast : 'One of the best things about being an adult is that you can change your mind at any time. JoJo, I think she's always been open about the fact she's queer and that's how she refers to herself. 'She loves whoever she loves and it's not necessarily about gender. Although I don't put a label on myself, it kind of is how I feel. ''Because she's been out there so much as an advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community, I think some of them feel let down that she's now… JoJo Siwa says she'll NEVER break up with Chris Hughes saying their relationship is 'earthquake proof' 'I just think, it's not anybody's business. It's called private life for a reason. People think you're in the public eye and we're entitled to know what you're up to. I've had it the last couple of years and it's not nice.' The star ended by saying: 'Sexuality has been a big part of it and it shouldn't be. Two people have met and they're really happy and they're exploring whether it's a friendship or a relationship.' During a private chat in the bedroom on Big Brother, JoJo confessed: "I feel so queer," as co-star Danny Beard then responded: "I'm queer!" And in a recent interview, she told how the phrase "encompasses how I am, and who I am". JoJo Siwa and Kath Ebbs' relationship We look back at JoJo Siwa's romance with Kath Ebbs: JoJo Siwa went public with hers and Kath Ebbs' relationship in January 2025. The Dance Moms star had been introduced to 27-year-old Australian content creator Kath by a mutual friend called G-Flip six months earlier. JoJo had split with her girlfriend Dakayla Wilson in November 2024 and it is believed she hooked up romantically with Kath soon after. Speaking in March at the 36th Annual GLAAD Media Awards, JoJo said of her relationship: 'I am so happy. I am in a very mature relationship, and it's beautiful. It's taught me so much about life. 'It's taught me so much about love and respect, and it's a beautiful thing. 'It's different in more ways than I can count. I wouldn't even know what to say the biggest is 'cause just everything is so different and special.' Kath even claimed they had talked about marriage together. However, JoJo's romance with Kath abruptly hit the skids on April 25, 2025, at the Celebrity Big Brother wrap party. JoJo dumped Kath at the bash after spending 19 days in the CBB house - where she had grown close to Love Island star Chris Hughes. She added: "I do live this very, very big public life that has so many eyeballs on it, and it can get really hard to navigate. "But I'm also living a human life. You can't help who you love." The term queer is defined by LGBTQ charity Stonewall as "a term used by those wanting to reject specific labels of sexual orientation and/or gender identity". 5 Christine recently revealed how she has dated girls since she was a teenager Credit: BBC

Netflix getting broadcast TV channels for first time ever in app makeover – but only some telly fans will see first lot
The deal will reportedly bring an additional 30,000 hours worth of telly to Netflix next summer WIDEN THE NET Netflix getting broadcast TV channels for first time ever in app makeover – but only some telly fans will see first lot Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) NETFLIX is adopting broadcast channels for the first time after nearly all but killing off traditional linear TV. The streaming giant is picking up channels from TF1 Group, France's biggest commercial broadcaster, as part of a recently inked deal. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 TF1 offers scripted dramas, live sports and reality shows like The Voice Credit: AFP 4 Only Netflix subscribers in France will be able to tune into the bonus content, the FT noted Credit: Getty Viewers will be able to watch all five TF1 live channels, the Financial Times reported. The deal will reportedly bring an additional 30,000 hours worth of telly to Netflix next summer. TF1 offers scripted dramas, live sports and reality shows like The Voice. Only Netflix subscribers in France will be able to tune into the bonus content, the FT noted. However, if the partnership is successful, more linear channels may jump to streaming services in other parts of Europe and the US in future. Netflix will first wait to see how the TF1 deal fares before cutting any more broadcasting deals, Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters said in a statement. The companies did not reveal how much the deal was worth. Peters added that the partnership would help boost subscriber engagement. Netflix has further turned its attention to engagement, after pivoting away from sharing subscriber counts. 'By teaming up with France's leading broadcaster, we will provide French consumers with even more reasons to come to Netflix every day and to stay with us for all their entertainment,' Peters said. Netflix reveal huge list of movies and TV shows being axed next month – with some children's favourites in the mix The deal also means TF1 gets more eyeballs on the adverts it airs between shows. "As viewing habits shift toward on-demand consumption and audience fragmentation increases, this unprecedented alliance will enable our premium content to reach unparalleled audiences and unlock new reach for advertisers within an ecosystem that perfectly complements our TF1+ [streaming] platform,' Rodolphe Belmer, CEO of TF1 Group, said in a statement. It comes as streaming overtakes traditional TV for the first time in terms of viewership numbers. The milestone marks a steady shift towards internet-based telly, which has seen a near-doubling of streaming viewership since 2021 when it made up 26 per cent of TV use. Today that percentage stands at nearly 45 per cent, according to the latest figures released by Nielsen earlier this week. 4 "It's a credit to media companies," said Karthik Rao, boss of data specialist Nielsen, which launched its Gauge report on viewing statistics in May 2021. "They have deftly adapted their programming strategies to meet their viewers where they are watching TV, whether it's on streaming or linear platforms." Netflix claims to have "over" 300million subscribers. The deal would also allow Netflix to grow its audience in France. As of 2022, Netflix had 10million French subscribers, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said at the time. While TF1 Group's broadcast channels have 58million viewers per month, according to the FT. Its streaming service, TF1+, also reportedly boasts 35million users per month. Use Netflix on a computer or laptop? Try these useful shortcuts Here are some handy keyboard shortcuts...
