North West continues to spark conversation with her bold fashion choices.
After previously making headlines for a corset top and finger piercing, the 12-year-old has now debuted shark-tooth grillz in just her third Instagram post since launching the account earlier this month. Her bio notes that the account is managed by her parents.
The nepo baby showed off a custom-made set of grillz created by celebrity jeweler Johnny Dang. The diamond-encrusted pieces covered her teeth and were designed in sharp, shark-tooth shapes that shimmered in the photos.

North West Rocks Shark Tooth Grillz
To complete the look, North wore her signature long blue hair, an aqua gradient manicure with stud details on her middle finger, coordinating jewelry, and a white graphic sweatsuit. She also shared photos from what appeared to be a private jet taken earlier that day, before getting the grillz.
Surprisingly, the daughter of Kanye West has left her Instagram comment section turned on, and fans quickly flooded the post with their reactions. Opinions were divided, with some questioning whether the look was appropriate for a 12-year-old, while others praised the style as edgy and aesthetic.
“She’s only 12, and you’re all praising her; this isn’t right. She is beautiful, but this is not good,” wrote one user. A second said, “12 years old and already has an Instagram and is acting like an adult. This is what popularity does to you.” A third noted, “Oh, to be a nepo baby.”
Fans who defended her clapped back and said, “This is straight aura tbh. Can’t wait until she blows up and becomes a whole influencer lol,” “North is exactly who she thinks she is,” “This is actually aesthetic, what,” “Keep having fun, North; ignore the haters.”
North West Faces Backlash Over Fashion Choices
North has been at the center of ongoing controversy since first stepping into the public eye through social media. She shares a joint TikTok account with her mother, Kim Kardashian, called @kimandnorth, though North appears to be the primary one posting. More recently, she has also been sharing content featuring her friends.
Much of the discussion surrounding North has focused on her bold fashion and beauty choices, which some critics argue are not age-inappropriate. As a result, the conversation has often shifted into broader scrutiny of Kim’s parenting style.
Online commenters have questioned how much oversight North has, particularly given Kim’s demanding career commitments. Her rapper father, meanwhile, has been seen with his children more sporadically, typically during holidays or overseas trips.
North’s style has included temporary face tattoos, faux nose piercings, black grillz, bright blue hair, bleached eyebrows, and, more recently, finger piercings. Those finger piercings, in particular, drew criticism from health professional and social media users, who warned of potential health risks due to the placement.
