Kim Kardashian faces backlash because of North West’s attire
Kim Kardashian has come under fire after her daughter North West stepped out in a striking outfit during their trip to Rome. The 12-year-old joined her mother for dinner at the well-known Pierluigi restaurant, where her fashion choices immediately drew attention online.
West was seen in a black corset top paired with a short skirt, paired with oversized steampunk-style platform boots that left her visibly taller than the SKIMS founder. Her hair, dyed in an electric blue ombré, was styled into two long pigtails, reaching down her waist. She accessorized with Chrome Hearts browline glasses, layered silver jewelry, and carried a Vivienne Westwood handbag. To complete the aesthetic, she also wore a detached black collar.
Meanwhile, Kardashian kept her evening style sleek and understated. She chose a black silk bodycon dress. She opted for silver chain necklaces as she walked beside her daughter. The mother-daughter pair later appeared in a TikTok video, showing off their coordinated all-black ensembles to their followers.
However, the online response to North West’s attire has been sharply divided. Many users argued that the corset and miniskirt were unsuitable for a preteen, criticizing Kardashian for allowing the look. One user wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “Kanye West and Kim Kardashian daughter North West is only 12 years old. What’s happening with today’s kids, back in the day kids didn’t look or dress like this? Is it the food? Is it the influence of the media?”
Another fan chimed in, “and then when bad things happen to “children” her age… maybe idk dress ur child (12 is child) in children’s clothing .. me at 12 would never have dared to even think of dressing so inappropriately..”
