Kim Kardashian is under scrutiny after her 12-year-old daughter, North West, wore a corset-style top and a pleated miniskirt during a family outing in Rome.
Kim Kardashians Parenting Choices Are Questioned Over North’s Outfits
The ensemble, which included 5-inch platform boots, a heart-shaped Vivienne Westwood handbag, and oversized glasses, has sparked criticism online. Many social media users have labeled the outfit “inappropriate” for a child of her age, questioning Kardashian’s parenting decisions.
The controversy intensified when Kardashian shared a photo of the pair leaving Pierluigi Restaurant in Rome. While Kardashian donned a sheer gown with a plunging neckline, North’s goth-inspired attire, complete with waist-length teal pigtails and dark mauve lipstick, drew significant attention. Critics on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Reddit expressed concern over the mature styling, with some users commenting that North appeared older than her years.
This isn’t the first time Kardashian has faced backlash over North’s fashion choices. In December 2024, a TikTok video featuring North in a corset-style top and a black pleated miniskirt garnered similar criticism. Some viewers felt the outfit was too mature for an 11-year-old, while others defended Kardashian, arguing that North has a strong sense of style and enjoys fashion.
Despite the criticism, Kardashian has not publicly addressed the recent backlash. Supporters of the Kardashian-Jenner family often point out that North has been in the public eye for much of her life, from shared TikTok videos to performing with her father, Kanye West. They argue that North’s involvement in the entertainment industry is a personal choice and that she should be allowed to express herself through fashion.
The ongoing debate raises questions about the balance between allowing children to explore their interests and protecting their innocence. As North continues to grow and develop her own sense of style, it remains to be seen how public perception will evolve and how Kardashian will navigate the complexities of parenting in the spotlight.
