Fashion Frenzy on Social Media: Kim Kardashian Defends North West’s New Look
Kim Kardashian recently defended her 12-year-old daughter, North West, against online critics who have been commenting on the young starlet’s experimental fashion choices. In a joint TikTok post with her partner Kanye West, North West debuted a series of temporary tattoos and fake piercings that quickly went viral.
In the video, North West showcased a star-shaped tattoo under her eye, a name written in cursive across her cheek, along with various other faux facial tattoos and piercings. The preteen also adorned herself with braided blue highlights, henna symbols on her hand, and a black grill over her teeth.
Despite West’s clear statement that these accessories were temporary, some viewers expressed disapproval.
Kim Kardashian took to the TikTok comments section to defend North West, stating, “This is such a non-issue.” The 45-year-old mother further addressed potential backlash by emphasizing, “Fake piercings and fake tatts 4 life,” she stated in another post. However, not all reactions were positive; some viewers described the look as “shocking,” with one even questioning, “She’s TWELVE??”
Previous Ventures into Fake Piercings
This is not the first time Kardashian and West have explored the world of fake piercings. Back in 2019, Kim shared a photo of West sporting a fake nose ring during an 85th birthday celebration for Kris Jenner’s mother, Mary Jo “MJ” Campbell. The mother-daughter duo has even sported matching faux piercings at various events, further cementing their reputation as trendsetters in the entertainment industry.
SUPPORTING NORTH’S FASHION CHOICES
Kim Kardashian has long supported her daughter’s fashion choices and interests. In an October 15 appearance on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, she openly discussed North’s love for unique looks. Kim joked, “Babe, if you want blue hair, it is what it is.” She added that North often dresses in a tomboy fashion and is confident about her choices.
Kim mentioned, “She’ll be like, ‘Mom, I saw this and I don’t really care if someone says they don’t like my blue hair, or my this or that.’ And she’s really confident and is like, ‘I probably wouldn’t be hanging out with those people.’”
North continues to impress with her fashion sense, following closely in her mother’s stylish footsteps. Kim’s support for North reflects a broader trend among celebrities who encourage their children to express themselves through fashion while also setting boundaries.
