Overview

  • Kim Kardashian and her daughter North, 12, were photographed leaving Pierluigi in Rome in coordinated black looks, with North in a corset-style top, pleated miniskirt, platform boots and electric blue pigtails.
  • On their joint TikTok account, the pair shared a clip showcasing the outfits and dancing to Destroy Lonely’s If Looks Could Kill.
  • Social media reactions were polarized, with many users calling the outfit too mature for a preteen and others defending both the styling and Kardashian’s decision.
  • In images from the night, North appeared taller than her mother, a height boosted by knee-high platform boots and accessories including a Vivienne Westwood heart-shaped bag.
  • Kardashian posted new family photos from a recent Cabo trip on Aug. 25, and outlets reported no formal comment from her representatives as coverage referenced ongoing co-parenting tensions and West’s March posts about wanting more say over their kids.
