Beyonce unveiled a new trailer for her highly anticipated visual album, Black is King, and Blue Ivy made an appearance.
The 8-year-old was spotted donning a smile while draped in pearls and a white dress.
Black Is King is set to be released on Disney+ July 31. According to the streaming platform, “This visual album from Beyoncé reimagines the lessons of The Lion King for today’s young kings and queens in search of their own crowns.”
Many fans should recall Bey voicing Nala in the live-action remake.
Blue Ivy isn’t the only star who makes a cameo. JAY-Z, Tina Knowles-Lawson, Naomi Campbell, Lupita Nyong’o, Kelly Rowland, Pharrell Williams, Aweng Ade-Chuol and Adut Akech are all expected to be featured in the flick.
“The film was in production for one year with a cast and crew that represent diversity and connectivity,” Disney+ stated on its website. “The voyages of Black families, throughout time, are honored in a tale about a young king’s transcendent journey through betrayal, love and self-identity. His ancestors help guide him toward his destiny, and with his father’s teachings and guidance from his childhood love, he earns the virtues needed to reclaim his home and throne. These timeless lessons are revealed and reflected through Black voices of today, now sitting in their own power. Black Is King is an affirmation of a grand purpose, with lush visuals that celebrate Black resilience and culture. The film highlights the beauty of tradition and Black excellence.”
