After being labeled an absentee parent by critics, Kim Kardashian was spotted spending quality time with North West during a sushi dinner with friends at the celebrity hotspot Nobu in Malibu.
While neither Kim nor North are strangers to fashion scrutiny, their dinner outing quickly sparked fresh online chatter about their looks. The reality star leaned into her signature skintight style, wearing bold red latex leggings that some compared to The Incredibles. She teamed them with an oversized leather bomber jacket and dramatic thigh-high boots, styling her hair in a sleek ponytail and finishing the look with sunglasses. See her outfit here!

Fans had a lot to say about their outfits as they shared their thoughts on social media.

A second said, “Perfect example of what happens when you try too hard to be their friend.” A third noted, “What are those leggings?” A fourth quipped, “Kim looks like she’s wearing recycled tires.” A fifth said, “I see she has her mother's sense of style.” A sixth commented, “I'm sorry, but Kim does NOT know how to dress...EVER!”
Kim Kardashian Defends North West's Style Choices
Recently, the 45-year-old faced backlash for allowing her daughter to get a finger piercing, prompting the SKIMS founder to step in and publicly defend her daughter’s choice.
Kim brushed off the criticism as a “non-issue,” stressing that she fully supports North’s creativity and self-expression, including style choices like fake tattoos. While appearing on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast, Kim explained that she encourages North to be herself, sharing that she’d tell her daughter, “Babe, if you want blue hair, it is what it is.”
She also showed her support directly on social media, commenting “it’s okay” on a TikTok that questioned North’s finger piercing, making it clear she stands by her daughter amid the online scrutiny. “It makes her so happy. I would never take that creative away from her," she revealed on the podcast.
