Christina Milian is standing up for Beyoncé's daughter, Blue Ivy. Following the 12-year-old's red carpet appearance at the 'Mufasa: The Lion King' premiere, which drew scrutiny, the 43-year-old actress voiced her opinion.

"First of all, she looks gorgeous," Milian said during an appearance on Sherri Shepherd's talk show, 'Sherri,' on Tuesday. "I think it's ridiculous for anyone to comment on someone else's child, especially a minor. Just mind your own business."

Blue Ivy, who lends her voice to lioness cub Kiara in the Disney film, wore a strapless gold dress with a long train for the event. "She's talented and has toured the world with her mom. There's nothing anyone can say to dim that shine," Milian added.

Sherri Shepherd agreed, noting how poised Blue Ivy appeared. Both Milian and Shepherd dismissed online criticism, stating that Blue Ivy was not overdoing it or being excessive. "Let that baby glow!" Milian exclaimed.

After walking the red carpet with her parents, Beyoncé and Jay-Z, some criticized the outfit as inappropriate. "Lots of chatter online that Blue Ivy's dress is inappropriate...," one user wrote, according to the Daily Mail. "Which I didn't get until I read that she is TWELVE YEARS OLD! How about we don't put a 12-year-old in a push-up bra."

Others defended Blue Ivy, praising her dress as beautiful. "Y'all need to leave Blue Ivy alone. She's 12. Her dress is beautiful. Worry about the kids being displayed on beauty pageant stages... Like, be so for real," one fan commented.

Beyoncé, unfazed by the criticism, took to Instagram to celebrate her daughter. "My gorgeous baby girl. This is your night. You worked hard and you did such a beautiful job as the voice of Kiara. Your family could not be prouder. Keep shining," she wrote.

The premiere came amid allegations against Jay-Z in a civil lawsuit. A woman identified as Jane Doe claims she was raped by Jay-Z and Sean 'Diddy' Combs at an afterparty for the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. The amended complaint, filed on Sunday, names Jay-Z, despite the initial complaint not referencing him. Jay-Z's lawyers have filed a motion to dismiss the claim and seek the accuser's identity.

In a statement, Jay-Z expressed his concern for his children, including Blue Ivy. "My wife and I will have to sit our children down, one of whom is at the age where her friends will surely see the press and ask questions about the nature of these claims, and explain the cruelty and greed of young people," he wrote.
