North West-As Kim Kardashian and her daughter North West vacation in Italy, the internet has erupted with mixed reactions to the 12-year-old’s choice of attire during a dinner outing in Rome. While North has been praised in fashion circles for her expressive style, others have criticized Kardashian’s parenting for allowing what they deem an “inappropriate” look for a pre-teen.
North’s all-black outfit—a corset top, pleated miniskirt, and towering platform boots—was a far cry from conventional children’s fashion. Many online called the outfit “too mature,” with comments like “This isn’t age-appropriate” and “Where are the boundaries?”
Parenting experts have weighed in, with some defending Kim’s choice to let her daughter express herself freely, while others caution that public exposure at a young age can place children under undue scrutiny.
Still, Kim Kardashian remains silent, allowing the images to speak for themselves—and perhaps continuing to normalize children having agency over their fashion identities.
