North West is back on TikTok with another head-turning look. The 12-year-old daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West shared clips that showcase her latest accessories-and they’re anything but subtle.
What She Showed Off
In the Jan. 3 videos uploaded to the joint “Kim and North” account, North sports a horizontal bridge piercing across her nose. The shimmering bar joins a set of black grills on her teeth and a chunky 106-carat diamond skull pendant-a Christmas gift from Kardashian.
Her outfit matched the drama: an oversized Balenciaga jersey, pleated mini skirt, tights, fuzzy boots, spiky cuffs, and the same long blue hair she’s been rocking lately.
Why Fans Think the Piercing Is Fake
This isn’t North’s first experiment with artificial body art. She’s previously posted:
- Faux face tattoos
- Bleached brows
- A real finger dermal that also drew attention
Given that history, observers expect the bridge piercing is another temporary statement piece rather than a permanent modification.
Kardashian’s Take on the Criticism
Parenting critics regularly weigh in on North’s edgy style, but Kardashian says her daughter tunes it out.
> “She’s really mature … ‘Mom, I saw this, and I don’t really care that they don’t like … my blue hair,'” the SKIMS founder recalled on Call Her Daddy.
Kardashian praises North’s creativity, telling Complex Style:
> “She teaches me a lot … She puts me on to so many brands. Like, she just loves what she loves.”
Key Takeaways
- North’s Jan. 3 TikTok look combines fake piercings, grills, and $M diamond jewelry
- Past faux mods signal the bridge piercing is likely temporary
- Kardashian supports her daughter’s self-expression despite online backlash
Expect more bold fashion moments as North keeps exploring her unique style-and keeps the internet talking.
