The first weekend of Coachella has officially come to a close, and North West was one of the most notable faces in the crowd.

The 12-year-old caused quite a stir online after she was seen running around the festival with her long, bright blue hair. Users couldn’t help but notice that she seemed to be enjoying the festivities without her mom, Kim Kardashian, by her side, and she was also showing off some new piercings, this time on her thighs instead of her hands. After seeing pictures and clips of her at the jam-packed event, users slammed the reality star’s parenting and her decision to let her daughter dress and roam around the way she does.

North West Is Seen Roaming Around Coachella By Herself With New Leg Piercings

The first weekend of Coachella this year had so many stars stepping out, dressed to the nines, ready to see some performances from some of today's biggest artists. This Saturday drew a lot of attention, especially due to Justin Bieber's super rare headlining performance.

 

Many members of the Kardashian-Jenner family were in attendance on Saturday, as many of them typically attend every year, but also because they've been tied to both Justin and Hailey Bieber for years, and many stood in the crowd to support him. However, there was one particular member of the family who stole the spotlight, and that was 12-year-old North West.

 

On Saturday, the pre-teen was seen walking around with her famous bright blue locks, wearing a grungy, all-black outfit, completed with tall Converse and an oversized t-shirt. She was open to meeting fans and other attendees, taking selfies with them, and for most of the day, was seen without her mom, Kim Kardashian, who reportedly attended part of the day with new boyfriend, Lewis Hamilton.

 

North also debuted a new set of dermal piercings, located on her thighs, as she removed her extremely controversial ones located on her fingers.

Social Media Slams Kim Kardashian's Parenting After Seeing Pictures Of North At Coachella

Over the last year, fans of the famous family have not been able to get over how quickly Kim and Kanye's eldest daughter has grown up. Not only has she been stepping out in unique and flashy outfits, but between her piercings and new music, many believe she's acting too old for her young age.

 

Seeing her "running around" at Coachella, nonetheless, on her own or only with friends, and with new piercings, social media users continued to criticize and slam the All's Fair star's parenting, accusing her of being absent and reckless.

 

"If I were Kim, I wouldn't want my 12-year-old daughter being at a festival surrounded by drugs and alcohol," commented a Reddit user. "But hey, that's just me, I guess."

 

"I know she has security with her, but Kim and Kanye are just the worst parents," wrote another. "This is still a child. Just shameful."

 

"Too young!" added a user. "Omg."

 

"Who is watching this kid?" asked another.
