North West, the 13-year-old daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, has prompted a discussion among fans following a recent TikTok video. The clip, shared on the account North co-manages with her mother, featured the young musician dancing to Rihanna's "SOS." West was seen sporting a blue wig, goth-inspired makeup, and a black leather outfit.
Some viewers commented on West's nose, with one user expressing concern over the use of "contouring" and questioning the changes. Another commenter suggested that West might be influenced by family members to believe her natural appearance is not sufficient. The Daily Mail has contacted a representative for Kardashian for comment.
However, many fans defended West, with some pointing out that she has enabled comments on her videos. Others drew parallels to their own adolescent phases and expressed support for her self-expression, particularly given her "unlimited budget and connections." One user noted, "y’all obviously didn’t have an alt phase when u were 13 and it shows. imagine having an alt phase as a 13 year old with UNLIMITED BUDGET AND CONNECTIONS. of course she wants to express herself let her be. nothing about this is inappropriate."
This is not the first time West has generated social media attention for her personal style choices. In August 2025, she revealed a dermal piercing on her right hand's middle finger, a procedure that carries risks such as keloid scarring and infection. Kardashian faced criticism for allowing her daughter to get the piercing at a young age. West later responded to the backlash in a December TikTok video, using a soundbite that dismissed the criticism.
In May, West released a music video for her song "#N0rth4evr," in which she appeared to have faux facial piercings. The video adopted a grainy, "found footage" aesthetic reminiscent of horror films. Her subsequent musical collaboration was with Lil Novi, son of Lil Wayne and Nivea, on a track titled "MULA THA ROOT OF ALL EVIL."
