And they wear it — I mean, they are always in Ivy Park.“Never miss a story — sign up forPEOPLE’s free daily newsletterto stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from juicy celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.Ivy Park/InstagramThe proud grandmother also shares a story about Rumi’s bold fashion choices being on display during a recent family trip to Disneyland.“It’s funny because Rumi loves fashion.

It actually looked really cute,” she says.“But her sister came in and Blue was like, ‘My mom would be mad because she’s doing too much.’ And Rumi said, ‘This is my style.’ She’s 5. I was impressed.““She reminds me so much of Solange when she was little. She wore outrageous stuff, but she has an amazing sense of style,” Knowles-Lawson adds. “So you let them do their own thing.“Tina Knowles-Lawson with her daughters Beyoncé and Solange.Alberto E.
