The Kardashians are no strangers to facing criticism for their actions and outfits, among other things – and sometimes that criticism extends to their children too!

Kim Kardashian‘s 12-year-old daughter North West, who she shares with ex-husband Kanye West, has been slammed for various things in her life already, including her controversial performance in The Lion King last year and looking older than her years with some of her outfits. And once again, it’s North’s outfit that has sparked outrage online!

North West Wears An ‘Inappropriate’ Outfit In Rome

Kim and Kanye’s firstborn was papped with her mom while leaving Pierluigi Restaurant in Rome wearing a black and silver voluminous tutu-style mini skirt, teamed with a black corset top. Check out some pap pics here. She also showed off her outfit in a video posted on the joint TikTok account she shares with her mom.

North added long, blue hair to the outfit, which she has sported before, as well as black platform boots, which allowed her to tower over the Skkn by Kim mogul. She finished off with a small black purse and glasses. But it wasn’t North who faced the most criticism over the controversial outfit, it was her mom…

Kim Kardashian's 'Parenting' Slammed Online

The Skims founder has been slammed as a parent for allowing her daughter to step out in such an age-inappropriate outfit. "Shame on you Kim," slammed one person in the comment section of a Daily Mail article featuring the pap pics. "Why she allowing her 12 year old to walk around in a corset?" asked a second. "This is the mother who thought Kanye West was a suitable father, no surprise she is inappropriate, putting a pre-teen in a push up bra to get attention," wrote a third, in reference to the corset.

A fourth commenter branded the mom-of-four "an utter failure of a mother," as a fifth blasted: "What a disgrace the family are and the mother allowing her 12-year-old daughter to go out like that." A sixth concurred: "What a lovely job of parenting you've done, Kim."

"Wow Kim has completely failed as a parent. NW is so inappropriately dressed," agreed a seventh, as an eighth added: "Just 12 years old and everything already on display. I can't believe her mother would let her child go out looking like that."

More Internet Reactions

Many readers also focused on how much older North appeared because of her outfit. "12!? She looks about 20," one shocked fan wrote. "12 going on 25 I'd say!" someone else exclaimed. Others remarked: "She is dressed like a 20-something woman," and, "Rather disturbing to see a 12-year-old child dressed like that, especially in a top pushing her 'assets' up."

"I think it's sad. She should be hanging out with her mates and having fun – not walking around looking twice her age," one critic noted, as another commented: "That attire is entirely inappropriate for a 12-year-old."

Comparisons quickly rolled in, with one reader saying: "My granddaughter is 12 and I would be appalled if she dressed like that girl, not that her mum would let her." Someone else added: "No problem with the blue hair, it's the push-up top at 12 that's totally inappropriate." Another bluntly stated: "No 12-year-old should be dressing like that." And finally, one exasperated user asked: "Why is a 12-year-old wearing a push-up bra?"
