Kim Kardashian and her daughter North West turned heads in Rome on Sunday night after stepping out for a glamorous mother-daughter dinner, but it was North’s bold new look that set social media ablaze. The 12-year-old, who Kim shares with ex-husband Kanye West, debuted a striking blue hairstyle worn in playful bunches as she and her mom left the upscale Pierluigi Restaurant.
In the shots, which you can see on ThePopTings X profile here, North proves she’s every inch as stylish as her famous mom, rocking a black top with a quirky collar, a ruffled silver-and-black skirt, steampunk-style boots, and a heart-shaped handbag. The daring ensemble marked yet another example of the young star-in-the-making experimenting with bold fashion choices.
While many praised the stylish duo for lighting up the streets of Rome, others were quick to voice concerns about North’s look. “That girl might develop issues later, and Kim’s letting her dress before her time,” one user said. Another critic flat-out questioned the bold hairstyle, writing, “What the hell is that?”
Still, not all comments were negative. Some fans applauded the 12-year-old’s fashion confidence, with one tweeting, “Fashion capitals deserve fashion icons and they definitely delivered,” and another adding, “Mother and daughter duo proving style really does run in the family.”
North West Has A Bold Personality at Home, Too
North, the eldest of Kim and Kanye’s four children, alongside Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 6, has increasingly been making headlines for her bold personal style. Her confident personality also shines through on TikTok. North first launched a joint account with Kim (@kimandnorth) in late 2021, and the page quickly skyrocketed to millions of followers. Her videos, often featuring her mom and friends, highlight her quirky humor, fashion sense, and unfiltered personality, cementing her status as a young social media influencer in her own right.

Even though Kardashian and her oldest daughter have a close bond, North isn’t afraid to push her mom’s buttons. Back in October 2021, during an episode of Ellen DeGeneres’ Mom Confessions, Kim revealed her daughter’s go-to comeback during disagreements. “Every time I get into some kind of disagreement with my daughter North, she thinks this is a dig to me, and she’ll say, ‘Your house is so ugly, it’s all white! Who lives like this?’” Kim recalled with a laugh. “She just thinks it, like, gets to me, and it is kind of mean because I like my house.” The playful jab only underscores what fans have come to love about North.
