All North West’s most controversial fashion looks ranked by how much people dragged them
'This is not cute or fashionable'
North West pretty much entered her main character era the second she exited the womb. But, these days, she’s coming into her own even more and every outfit she wears seems to spark a global gathering in the comment section.
Whether she’s on stage, strutting beside Kim Kardashian, or experimenting with adult-coded designer pieces, people always have something to say.
From leather looks to corsets and combat boots, North’s wardrobe keeps headlines rolling, and the internet divided. Let’s break down her most controversial looks, ranked by how fiercely the online crowd dragged them.
6. The grunge princess streetwear era
North’s latest obsession with oversized band tees, chokers and cargo pants has fans divided.
Some hail it as her authentic Gen Alpha phase, others claim it’s just another PR-crafted aesthetic.
Whether she’s channelling early-2000s Avril Lavigne or trying to shake off the family brand, one thing’s clear – North’s fashion risks keep the world talking.
Speaking on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Kim said North is a fan of a “tomboy look,” so maybe this is just her natural go-to.
5. Matching with mom in leather
Mother-daughter fashion twinning is nothing new for the Kardashians, but when North appeared in an all-black leather outfit alongside Kim, who was in full latex, heads were turning.
Another time, North was spotted, at nine years old, wearing. a full leather face mask.
It’s safe to say the internet erupted. The all-leather outfit when she was younger was “chic,” per Hello!. But the leather face mask got dragged, majorly.
Many argued it was “inappropriate” for a kid, and another chimed in: “This is not cute or fashionable. Emulating Mom and Dad on this one should have been stopped,” per Grazia.
4. Ye-inspired stage look that stole the show
During her Yeezy stage performance some years back, North wore an oversized grey top and pants with a short-sleeved purple hoodie.
At just six years old, the ensemble and her singing stole the show.
Some loved the creative nod, others seem to take any issue relating to Kanye. North has been photographed multiple times wearing some of her dad’s iconic fashion pieces, including a varsity jacket.
Whether people like it or not, it’s only natural North would pay homage to her father. Even if his name alone comes with a wild amount of controversy.
3. North stepped out in another mini dress
In late 2025, North has been making some bold fashion choices.
People have been quick to drag Kim amidst many of North’s new looks. But the mom of four had a serious statement when appearing on a podcast recently.
She said she wants to encourage North’s “creativity” and loves that she’s that way.
“She’s usually a girl that dresses like a tomboy most of the time, and she wanted to try something that her friends were wearing and went to the same place that they went to, and they all got these outfits…” Kim said.
However, she added how she doesn’t always agree with how the wardrobe choices come out: “She wears them and it’s just like ‘OK wait, maybe you can’t wear that’…”
2. The unrecognisable new look
In October 2025, North unveiled an altogether new style following her mom’s Call Her Daddy comments. The look surprised many as she stepped out with blue hair, blue contact lenses, face tattoos, a mouth grill, and a septum piercing.
Kim’s eldest child completed her glam with dramatic false eyelashes, henna art on her hands, and glittery blue nails.
People dragged the look, and said it gave “Amanda Bynes,” but more were dragging Kim for North’s look, given that she’s a pre-teen.
1. Too-adult corset at 12 years old
This look ranks top stop as it’s one that got major heat.
At age twelve, North wore a tight corseted top, a short skirt and platform boots while leaving a restaurant with her mum, and also appeared in a TikTok video dancing to a sexually explicit song.
Public reaction was swift, critics accused Kim of “over-sexualising” her daughter and failing to define boundaries. One Reddit user wrote: “She should be the mom, not a friend. This gives me the ick.”
Why it ranks in top spot? The age factor plus the overt styling and soundtrack combo made this moment feel like a red flag waving in neon.
Kim broke her silence on this outfit choice on Call Her Daddy. She described it as “a mistake” and asked people to “give grace” to parents of pre-teens who are still working it out.
