Kim Kardashian Slammed Over North’s Outfits While Beyoncé Praised for Blue Ivy’s Style
North West and Blue Ivy Carter have grown up in the spotlight as the firstborn daughters of two of pop culture’s most powerful women: Kim Kardashian and Beyoncé. Both girls have become celebrities in their own right. As the next generation of Hollywood royalty, fans continue to scrutinize how Kim parents North and what she allows her daughter to wear. Meanwhile, fans praise Beyoncé for the age-appropriate costuming Blue wore during the “Cowboy Carter Tour.”
Kim Kardashian was recently slammed for allowing North West to wear a corset
North West has quickly become a pint-sized style icon, often turning heads with outfits that rival those of seasoned fashionistas. From oversized vintage jackets and bold graphic T-shirts to custom pieces from high-end designers, her looks effortlessly mix streetwear cool with runway polish. She’s been spotted sitting front row at fashion week alongside her mother, confidently rocking everything from leather pants to bedazzled accessories. With Kanye “Ye” West and Kim Kardashian as her parents, it makes sense that the 12-year-old is already playing with her personal style.
Unfortunately, while Kim allows North to style herself, it doesn’t always go over well with fans. In August 2025, North and Kim stepped out to dine at Pierluigi in Piazza de’ Ricci in Rome, Italy, according to Page Six. The preteen fashionista embraced a bold goth-glam aesthetic. She donned a black corset top paired with a pleated denim mini skirt. North completed her look with five-inch Vetements platform boots, a heart-shaped Vivienne Westwood purse, and oversized Chrome Hearts glasses. Her vibrant teal-to-black ombré pigtails and dark mauve lipstick added a striking contrast to her ensemble.
Many fans took to Reddit to express their disapproval of North’s outfit.
“Call me old-fashioned, but I don’t think a 12-year-old should be dressing like that. It’s … no,” one fan wrote.
“I will never agree with a 12-year-old GIRL wearing a push-up corset,” another user commented.
Fans praised how Beyoncé dressed Blue Ivy Carter during the ‘Cowboy Carter Tour’
While Kim Kardashian receives heat from fans for North West’s looks, fans adored how Beyoncé dressed Blue Ivy Carter, 13, during the “Cowboy Carter Tour.”
On tour, Blue served standout performances and equally impressive outfits. At the tour’s opening night at SoFi Stadium, she captivated the audience with five costume changes, each reflecting her evolving style and confidence. One of the most memorable ensembles was a white cowboy-inspired outfit featuring silver tassels, chaps, and a white hat, reminiscent of Beyoncé’s own early 2000s look with Destiny’s Child.
Blue also wore a maroon cowboy-inspired ensemble with leather pants adorned with side tassels and a matching corset-style top, paying homage to a deep-cut Beyoncé look from 2000. Additionally, she donned a sparkling olive green Burberry outfit during the Protector performance.
Fans on Reddit praised Beyoncé for Blue’s “age-appropriate” looks in every show.
“I love how she matches her mom, but always in an age-appropriate outfit,” a fan wrote.
Kim Kardashian’s followers think the reality star might pay attention to the media’s criticism
With all eyes on Kim Kardashian and her family, the reality star likely knows how many of her fans disapprove of North West’s outfits. After the backlash over North’s corset, Kim’s daughter stepped out in Italy wearing a look that many fans deemed much more age-appropriate. North wore a khaki minidress with a bow at the waist, cap sleeves, and a high neckline with a collar. Photos posted to Reddit show North and Kim walking hand in hand and looking happy.
“Kim heard the critics and said tone it down,” one fan commented.
“Glad Kim has her in a more appropriate top,” another user wrote.
“See now, this outfit on North is super cute!” yet another fan commented.
Did Kim really ask North to dress differently because of the backlash? We may never know.
