North West’s style evolution: goth, punk, tailored and designer

Kim Kardashian’s 12-year-old daughter, North West, made a bold fashion statement during a recent dinner in Rome following their family trip to Cabo. She turned heads in a striking black corset paired with a pleated denim miniskirt, a heart-shaped handbag, and chunky platform boots for a goth-inspired look.

With her electric blue hair styled in two ponytails – a new look the tween debuted in June – West confidently carved out her own fashion identity on the streets alongside her mother, Kardashian, 44, who wore a sheer slip dress with a black lace bra.

However, West’s corset look drew mixed reactions on social media. While one person wrote, “If you find anything inappropriate about this outfit, you need to be in therapy!”, another wrote, “Not a fan of a bustier on a 12-year-old.” Another added, “Kim, she is 12 …” Many netizens blamed Kardashian for dressing West too maturely and in a way that lacks “innocence”.

The day after the dinner, West once again stole the spotlight while out in Rome with her mother. She wore her waist-length electric blue hair in waves, perfectly matching her all-blue denim outfit. She paired her eye-catching chunky white high-top Isabel Marant trainers with frilly polka dot socks. Adding a touch of luxe, West carried a shimmering silver Balenciaga purse and wore a crystal-encrusted Vivienne Westwood Orb necklace. She finished her look with classic black tights and a pair of square transparent glasses, balancing sophistication with playful charm.

Here’s a look at North West’s fashion evolution over the past three years.

Earlier this month, West stepped out with her cousin Penelope Disick in New York while showcasing her love for bold, nostalgic streetwear. She wore a black graphic T-shirt, oversized camo Bermuda shorts and black high-top trainers. She also styled her then almost floor-length, electric blue hair in multiple braids.
