As per reports by E! Online, North West and Kim's travel comes just a month after an old video resurfaced. The video is about an old viral 2014 incident involving Kim Kardashian and her daughter, North West. In 2014, Kim was in Paris for Fashion Week with North, who was a toddler back then. The video clip went viral at the time, which appeared to show Kim walking out of a hotel and getting into a car without North. Cameras then caught Kim returning to the hotel and then coming back out with North. This incident had sparked years of online rumors and jokes that Kim had “forgotten” or “left behind” her daughter in the hotel.

Recently, Kim clarified about the incident, saying that the video was misleading and that she had not forgotten North. Overall, fans have loved North's new look, while some criticized it, calling it ''inappropriate'' for her age.
