During the show, Beyoncé treated the select audience to a special moment as she brought her 11-year-old daughter Blue Ivy on stage to sing a duet with her.

The pair teamed up to sing Brown Skin Girl, with Beyoncé telling the audience: “Where are all my brown skin girls? Give it up for my baby, my brown skin girl, Miss Blue Ivy Carter.” The youngster wore a sparkly red suit with trainers and her mum affectionately touched her face as they sang together, with the singer telling the crowd: “Love to all the brown skin girls. If you love brown skin women, help me sing.”
