North West’s Wild New Look Sparks ‘What In The Kanye West Is Happening?’

North West is shaking up the internet again, and this time, fans are more worried than impressed. Kim Kardashian’s 12-year-old daughter sparked major concern after unveiling a bold new look on TikTok over the weekend. The pre-teen, who shares a joint account with her famous mom, showed off a dramatic transformation featuring fake face tattoos, a nose piercing, and black grillz. In a series of now-viral videos, North appeared nearly unrecognizable as she sported long blue braids, bright blue contacts, and a collection of silver chains. Her look was completed with black grillz over her teeth, a faux nose ring, and large temporary tattoos sprawled across her face, including a star under her eye and a word written in script on her cheek.

“Fake piercings and fake tatts for life,” North captioned one clip, mouthing along to a popular TikTok sound as she posed with friends dressed in similar edgy looks.

Another video appeared to show the group traveling on a private jet before heading backstage at a concert, keeping the energy high as they embraced their coordinated style. Fans were quick to point fingers at Kim and Kanye’s parenting, with one fan bluntly commenting, “What in the Kanye West is happening?” while another simply said, “How about go be a kid.”

“It’s really hard and it’s really interesting because all the kids are wearing the same things,” Kim said. “But then my daughter tries to wear it, and I’m like, ‘OK, we’re never wearing that again.’ Unfortunately, we made that mistake in front of the whole world.”

“She’s usually a tomboy most of the time,” Kim explained. “She wanted to try something her friends were wearing, and it’s just like, okay, wait, maybe you can’t wear that. So as a mom, you’re kind of learning at the same time.”

Kim isn’t new to controversy when it comes to her daughter’s bold fashion choices. In 2024, the reality star found herself under fire after posting photos of North playing dress-up at home, but this wasn’t your average round of pretend.

The then ten-year-old sported a red Chicago Bulls tee, her hair slicked back, and enough sparkle to rival her mom’s jewelry vault. Diamond bracelets, chunky rings, and layered necklaces glistened across her arms and chest as North struck confident poses for the camera. She completed the edgy look with a faux lip piercing and nose ring, adding just enough attitude to make fans do a double-take.

While North’s bold fashion choices often dominate headlines, her kitchen habits have also made waves online. Back in 2023, the pre-teen went viral after an episode of “The Kardashians” captured her chomping down on a raw onion like it was an apple, skin and all.

The now-iconic moment began when North was seen cooking in the family kitchen. A producer off camera asked, “Can your mom cook?” to which North didn’t hesitate to answer, “Heck no.” Kim later told viewers that her sister Kourtney had encouraged her to spend more one-on-one time with her kids doing things like cooking together. “North loves to cook,” Kim explained to the camera. “After talking to Kourtney, she really encouraged me to do small things with my kids, like one-on-one cooking stuff, whatever the kids want to do.”

But the wholesome cooking scene quickly turned into meme material when North casually grabbed a whole raw onion, took a massive bite, and then offered it to her mom. Kim, clearly caught off guard, politely declined, “No thanks.” Unbothered, North shrugged and took another enormous bite, peel and all, instantly shocking viewers across social media.

From raw onions to red carpets, North West is still finding her voice, and Kim Kardashian’s learning that sometimes, the best style lesson is letting your kid be themselves.
