North West is shaking up the internet again, and this time, fans are more worried than impressed. Kim Kardashian’s 12-year-old daughter sparked major concern after unveiling a bold new look on TikTok over the weekend. The pre-teen, who shares a joint account with her famous mom, showed off a dramatic transformation featuring fake face tattoos, a nose piercing, and black grillz. In a series of now-viral videos, North appeared nearly unrecognizable as she sported long blue braids, bright blue contacts, and a collection of silver chains. Her look was completed with black grillz over her teeth, a faux nose ring, and large temporary tattoos sprawled across her face, including a star under her eye and a word written in script on her cheek.

Kim Kardashian Slammed Over Photo Of North Dripping In Diamonds
Kim isn’t new to controversy when it comes to her daughter’s bold fashion choices. In 2024, the reality star found herself under fire after posting photos of North playing dress-up at home, but this wasn’t your average round of pretend.
The then ten-year-old sported a red Chicago Bulls tee, her hair slicked back, and enough sparkle to rival her mom’s jewelry vault. Diamond bracelets, chunky rings, and layered necklaces glistened across her arms and chest as North struck confident poses for the camera. She completed the edgy look with a faux lip piercing and nose ring, adding just enough attitude to make fans do a double-take.

North West Once Broke The Internet For The Odd Way She Eats Raw Onion
While North’s bold fashion choices often dominate headlines, her kitchen habits have also made waves online. Back in 2023, the pre-teen went viral after an episode of “The Kardashians” captured her chomping down on a raw onion like it was an apple, skin and all.
The now-iconic moment began when North was seen cooking in the family kitchen. A producer off camera asked, “Can your mom cook?” to which North didn’t hesitate to answer, “Heck no.” Kim later told viewers that her sister Kourtney had encouraged her to spend more one-on-one time with her kids doing things like cooking together. “North loves to cook,” Kim explained to the camera. “After talking to Kourtney, she really encouraged me to do small things with my kids, like one-on-one cooking stuff, whatever the kids want to do.”
But the wholesome cooking scene quickly turned into meme material when North casually grabbed a whole raw onion, took a massive bite, and then offered it to her mom. Kim, clearly caught off guard, politely declined, “No thanks.” Unbothered, North shrugged and took another enormous bite, peel and all, instantly shocking viewers across social media.
From raw onions to red carpets, North West is still finding her voice, and Kim Kardashian’s learning that sometimes, the best style lesson is letting your kid be themselves.
