Beyonce was the center of attention last night as the CFDA Fashion Icon honoree, but the youngest member of her small entourage was a little less than enthused with all of the extra attention from the photographers.

The Carter family trio of Bey, husband Jay Z and daughter Blue Ivy caused quite a stir with their surprise appearance on the red carpet and 4-year-old Blue did her part to try and keep photographers at bay in the cutest way possible.

Little Miss Carter first let the cameras know to keep their distance with the single wave of her finger as she made her way into the venue with dad Jay Z.

Once on the red carpet, Blue didn’t shy away from sending the same message to the photographers as the camera flashes went into overdrive.

The family later continued inside to take their seats just as the ceremony began, with Beyoncé’s mother Tina Knowles and her husband Richard Lawson also in attendance to celebrate her achievement as the 2016 CFDA Fashion Icon.
