Kim Kardashian Sparks Controversy For 'Allowing' North West To Wear An 'Inappropriate' Halloween Costume At Age 11
As reported by BoredPanda, another TikToker reshared the same video. In the comments section, the user wrote that "she matured before some others and why yall lookin there first of all she looks pretty and beautiful." Another added: "SHES 11??" One other wrote, regarding North wearing a corset top: "she’s 11. she shouldn’t be wearing one. It’s disgusting talk support it and worst her mother dressed her in it."
Someone else commented, regarding the Kardashians star (who also shares three other children with her ex Kanye West): "I wish her mom would protect her more." One other chimed in: "The dress could’ve been more conservative for her." Others stressed that the costume was an accurate replica of the one shown in the animated film.
"Those who are sexualizing her and saying this is not appropriate are the ones who are disgusting looking at a child like that," one user wrote. They added: “She is wearing the same dress Tiana wears in The Princess and The Frog.”
This comes just a few weeks after North appeared on the cover of Interview Magazine‘s fall 2024 issue, where she was interviewed by her mother. Since the release of the cover and accompanying Q&A, many fans have voiced concerns about the 11-year-old’s involvement, urging Kardashian to “let her be a kid” rather than “exploiting” her by having her participate in adult-oriented activities like magazine shoots and interviews.
In the revealing interview with her reality star mother, the celebrity child opened up about her life, offering a rare glimpse into her world. She spoke candidly about her deep faith, her favorite musicians, and the joy she finds in spending time with her friends. She also shared her Halloween costume ideas and disclosed the affectionate names her loved ones avoid using for her.
On October 11th, the SKKN founder shared the cover and new photos of her eldest child in a post for her 360 million Instagram followers. The Kardashians star captioned it: "NORTH for INTERVIEW MAGAZINE." One fan wrote, beneath the upload: "I read the interview, it seems so sad to see a career pushed on her and she's slowly losing the carefree, responsibility free life of being a child."
Another user added: "This child is on a path to destruction. Let her be a kid." Someone else commented: "What’s her talent other than loving the spotlight?" as one other quipped: "nepotism much?" One concerned commenter also wrote that there is "no reason for kids to be on magazine covers."
Many fans also urged Kardashian to allow young North to experience a typical childhood back in June. Kardashian made headlines when she permitted her 11-year-old to celebrate her birthday alongside 22-year-old social media sensation, Kai Cenat at the time.
That same month, Kardashian also faced criticism after North made her debut on stage as Simba in The Lion King 30th Anniversary — A Live-to-Film Concert Event at the Hollywood Bowl. She shared the stage with esteemed performers like Jeremy Irons and Jennifer Hudson.
Clips of the performance were shared on social media and received a negative response from viewers who believed that the child lacked preparation for such a prominent role and was only given the opportunity due to her parents’ fame.
