It's been six months since Blue Ivy Carter entered our world, and mama Beyoncé and papa Jay-Z have been careful to hide her face from the glaring public eye.

We've been waiting patiently but we are pleased to announce the wait is officially over. And what a little beaut she is!

Blue Ivy and a mum Beyoncé - complete with a new head of braids - were spotted in New York doing a spot of shopping.

Rocking the boho chic look with her golden tresses piled in a bun on top of her head, Bey was in full mama mode as she clutched her little lady.

The singer's outfit was uber colour co-ordinated - her red lips and purple nails matching her cute playsuit - while her barefooted bubba wore dusky pink bottoms and a flowery white top. Cute!

At just 6-months-old, Blue Ivy already looks set for world domination. Just moments after her birth she made her musical debut - featuring on daddy Jay-Z's song Glory .

She was also recently named Honorary Citizen of Hvar in Croatia, after her mum revealed the origins of Blue Ivy's name.

The star thought of the name after seeing a blue coloured tree whilst holidaying in Croatia, a video on her Tumblr reveals.

Beyoncé can be heard saying: "I think it's Blue Ivy, which would be quite appropriate!"
