Netizens react to North West’s latest outfit

@metgalacrave on X, formerly Twitter, shared a collage of North West's latest outfit with the caption:

“Kim Kardashian and North West in Rome.”

The post quickly garnered several reactions as netizens took to the comments section to express their opinions.

Many X users condemned the young celebrity's outfit choice, blaming Kim Kardashian for not “protecting” her child enough.

“full beat, long fake nails, 30in bundles, a push-up bustier and platform heels is a lot of an outfit for a 12 year old child, I hope Kim is going to protect this baby,” @TheDejaKing commented.

“This is so weird and unsettling… why would you feed the eyes of se*ual predators by letting a 12-year-old wear such things?” @Eilishligestyle wrote.

“What are they feeding kids these days... She just 12 like 12 is suppose to be watching barbie or something,” @7Asmart added.

Other netizens stood up for the mother and daughter duo, claiming there was nothing wrong with the outfit and North should be allowed to express herself.

“it’s literally not up to kim to shield her children from weirdos. it’s up to the gp to not be weird. for years yall have been offended by little black girls advanced development as if it’s something we can control. she’s wearing a perfectly appropriate outfit, she’s just built a little more maturely. and luckily, she’s with her mom and not out on the town,” @ALRDY0VER tweeted.

“everyone in this comment section acting all shocked she’s wearing a corset like we weren’t wearing bombshell bras in middle school. maybe YOU GUYS are the problem lmfao,” @debt2Urwallet replied.

“I don’t see anything wrong with this. Kim probably allows her daughter to be who she wants to be as far as connecting to her creativity, higher self, & accepts her daughter to embrace her own personal style. What’s wrong with that!? Maybe corsets gives her a slimmer look & that makes her feel comfortable & pretty. I’m happy to see Kim is a cool mom who doesn’t force or push her daughter to be just like her,” @LightOverLies added.
