Beyonce and Jay-Z's 17-month-old daughter Blue Ivy was born to hip-hop royalty, and her wardrobe certainly shows it. Last week, the 31-year-old singer shared a series of personal photos on her website, IAm.Beyonce, including one of a baby-sized magenta Tom Ford kitten heel. The fabulous, albeit tiny, shoe was tied onto a well-manicured foot - presumably Beyonce's own - with a pink velvet strap.The fancy footwear was apparently custom-made for Blue Ivy, although whether she actually struts around in them or not is unknown. Queen Bey also posted photographic proof that she treats her only daughter like royalty. In the image, the toddler wears an ornate purple velvet crown, complete with pearls and rhinestones.If the Tom Ford shoes indeed belong to Blue Ivy, it wouldn't be the first fashion-forward pair in her closet. Last April, Jay-Z posted a photo on his blog, LifeAndTimes.com, of a miniature pair of Jeremy Scott x Adidas sneakers, with wings on the sides. The photo caption read: 'Blue's first flight'.And Blue Ivy apparently isn't the only celebrity baby to receive the magenta Tom Ford heels. 32-year-old Julia Roitfield, daughter of former Vogue Paris editor-in-chief Carine Roitfield, told the New York Post that her daughter Romy was also gifted with a pair in black. 'Tom Ford gave me high heels for the baby,' she said in May. 'They're a little kitten heel with a velvet rope that you tie. It's like a collection piece.'Rather than trying it on for size like Beyonce did, Ms Roitfield is taking a different approach to the shoe. 'I have to put it on the bookshelf, framed,' she said. Beyonce and her rapper husband have, for the most part, kept public appearances with their daughter to a minimum since her birth in January 2012. But in a behind-the-scenes image from her recent Vogue photo shoot, the doting mother is seen peeking into Blue Ivy's baby seat, as the toddler adorably pokes her on the nose.
