Kim Kardashian and her 12-year-old daughter, North West, were seen together in Rome this past weekend. They walked into a fancy restaurant, Pierluigi, where North wore a black corset top and a short skirt trimmed with lace. Kim chose to wear a long black silk dress with lace detail. Seeing the popular mother-daughter duo, all dressed up, has given netizens something new to talk about.

North West's outfit stood out as she wore tall black platform boots and carried a small heart-shaped purse. She also wore glasses, and her hair was long and bright teal in pigtails. Her lips were shiny and dark mauve.

Kim’s attire was simple but stylish. She had on a black slip dress with sheer lace parts. She wore a chunky cross necklace and round sandals, and her makeup looked natural.


Reactions to North West and Kim Kardashian's look

North West's outfit drew swift reactions on social media. Many users loved their look.

"North is so tall. Love her sense of style" - commented an user on X
"Love that Northie has her own style" - stated another user on X
"The both look great. See? A nice compliment is easy to make instead of judgement." - commented another user on X

Some users called North West's look "inappropriate" for a child her age. Others noted how much attention she has received over the years, from TikTok and music projects to voicing characters. These outlets said the outfit stirred a growing debate about the pressure fame places on children.

"why are you letting a 12yo child wear a corset… sorry this is so insane and damaging to me" - stated an user on X
"She’s 12… let kids be KIDS" - commented another user on X

Meanwhile, other users emphasized how coordinated North and Kim looked together. They both wore all-black outfits in Rome. North’s boots, corset, and skirt matched her electric blue pigtails. A TikTok video showed them dancing together, underlining how North may be influencing her mom’s style too.

Teen Vogue described North’s look as goth-inspired with steampunk touches. Her platform boots came from a high-fashion collaboration, and she wore layered jewelry, a Hello Kitty phone case, and other striking accessories.


Style takes and family moments

Kim Kardashian and North West's outing in Rome sounded like a mom-daughter styling moment, but it also sparked talk. The choice of outfits, especially for a child, raised questions. Netizens had a lot to say about their outfits.

Kim has travelled a lot recently. She visited South Korea with friends, followed by a family trip to Cabo. She posted Instagram slides of her kids, Saint, Psalm, and Chicago, and her niece and nephews enjoying the trip. Many fans praised her as a devoted mom, pointing to those fun family images.

North West's growing interest in style seems to play a role in their dynamic. At the Met Gala earlier this year, Kim said North is a critic and a creative force in fashion. She brings positivity and lets people be themselves.
