North West, age 12, debuted a dramatic transformation on TikTok—long blue braids, fake face tattoos (including a star under her eye and her name in script), vivid blue contact lenses, a faux septum piercing, voluminous lashes, and a black grill. She completed her look with an oversized black t-shirt, silver chains, and henna artwork on her hands, striking a pose with friends in similarly daring styles.
While some defended North’s right to express herself and called the look a creative, possible Halloween-inspired statement, others argued the style appeared “too grown” for a 12-year-old and questioned Kim Kardashian’s parenting decisions. Critics labeled the ensemble disturbing and inappropriate, while supporters highlighted Kim’s encouragement of North’s fearless creativity and individuality.
Kim Kardashian has publicly supported North’s adventurous fashion choices, emphasizing the importance of fostering creativity and confidence in her daughter. North herself remains unfazed by critical comments, reportedly telling her mom she’s unbothered by opinions about her look and choosing to focus on her own happiness and self-expression.
