Kim Kardashian and daughter North West were spotted out in Rome, and the 12-year-old’s style really stole the show. She’s been wearing bold outfits to match her long, ombré-blue hair, and she’s doubling down on her goth aesthetic, which might be the most normal preteen thing about her. I still have my stretchy black choker from seventh grade tucked away somewhere, and while that’s no competition for North’s designer wardrobe, I will recommend she purchase one asap.
Spotted on the way to dinner on Sunday, North towered over her mom in five-inch platform Vetements boots, a black corset and lace-trimmed miniskirt to match. She finished off the outfit with a heart-shaped Vivienne Westwood purse, a Hello Kitty phone case, and lots of silver jewelry. This may be a preteen look, but it is definitely not a preteen budget.
This look should come as no surprise. She’s been setting the groundwork for a long, long time. Remember when North got Kim to wear a nose ring for Paris Fashion week in 2022? And earlier this summer, North was spotted out in Los Angeles with an all-black outfit on and some studded oversize shades. My personal favorite part of that particular outfit? The “I heart boobies” bracelet. She really is a Hot Topic girl.
