Kim Kardashian's daughter North West has once again stirred controversy by showing off a set of shark-tooth-shaped diamond grills, matching those of her mother. The 12-year-old's bold accessory choice reignited a heated debate over Kardashian's parenting decisions and North's increasingly mature public image.
She Finds reported that earlier this week, Kardashian posted a series of photos on Instagram captioned lately, featuring all four of her children. Among them, North's photo drew particular attention as she proudly displayed her dazzling grills alongside her signature long blue hair, dramatic lashes, heavily lined lips, and gem-adorned manicure. Kardashian coordinated with a similar set of diamond grills, though hers featured a more traditional design.
The matching grills quickly sparked criticism across social media. Many followers questioned whether the 12-year-old's edgy and mature fashion choices are appropriate for her age. Comments ranged from calling the look "ridiculous" to labeling Kardashian a "bad role model."
One social media user wrote, "Omg! This is a 12-year-old. Can't wait to see her at 18. Yikes." Others expressed concern about the lack of adult guidance, saying, "All the signs that there are no adults in the room with North." Another comment bluntly stated, "This is not cool."
These reactions reflect ongoing discussions about North's fashion statements, including dramatic makeup and temporary body art that have frequently drawn public scrutiny over the past year. Critics argue that Kardashian allows her daughter to embrace a more grown-up aesthetic than many feel is suitable for someone so young.
In response to past controversies, Kardashian has publicly admitted to making parenting mistakes. On her sister Khloe Kardashian's podcast "Khloe in Wonderland", Kim shared that despite the public image, North has many rules to follow at home. She acknowledged learning as she goes, stating, "Unfortunately, we made that mistake in front of the whole world." She asked for "a little bit of grace" as she navigates motherhood under the spotlight.
Kardashian also described North as confident and mature in some ways, noting that her daughter doesn't care much about negative opinions regarding her style choices.
In separate news, People reported that Kardashian's son, Saint West, recently made his modeling debut at age 10 in Nike's 2026 World Cup ad campaign titled "Rip the Script", which features soccer stars like Kylian Mbappé and Erling Haaland alongside celebrities such as LeBron James and Cristiano Ronaldo. The ad shows Saint joining his mom on set and showcasing his soccer skills, reflecting his passion for the sport.
Kardashian has actively nurtured Saint's love for soccer by taking him to high-profile matches and introducing him to legendary players like Lionel Messi, Neymar Jr., David Beckham, and Ronaldo. She told Major League Soccer that Saint is obsessed with soccer and that she will do anything for her babies.
