North West is back to stunning internet users and pop culture lovers with another glimpse at her edgy and alternative style in a new TikTok video.

The young teenager took to social media again last week to create more TikTok videos where she did some lip-syncing to different songs on her and her mom Kim Kardashian’s shared account. In the new posts, she flaunted her style, which included everything from her bright blue hair to a leather miniskirt. She also had her latest dermal piercings on full display, triggering more backlash from social media users who feel she’s growing up too soon and acting inappropriately for her age.

North West Posts A New TikTok Video In A Leather Mini Skirt

It’s no secret that one of the most talked-about ‘nepo babies’ in the entertainment industry right now is North West, the eldest daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, who divorced when she was about seven years old.

Now, at 13, she’s making a name for herself, becoming both a musician and a style standout, stepping out with some more gothic and quirky fashion choices, from her blue hair to her dermal piercings, which have become extremely controversial. Though her social media presence isn’t super heavy, one of her most famous accounts is the TikTok account she shares with her reality star mom.

On the account, she shared a few videos of her standing around and lip-syncing, showing off her outfits. Last week, she shared a video of herself subtly mouthing the words to a moody, alternative song while wearing a black leather mini skirt, which she paired with a black and purple hoodie, which was completed with long ear-like extensions.

She also had on some tall, chunky black boots with silver embellishments and oversized black sunglasses. Her long, neon blue hair was on full display, as well as her black teeth grills and the dermal thigh piercings located just above her knees.

Social Media Users React To North’s Video

This certainly is not the first time the young prodigy has posted a video of herself on TikTok, lip-syncing and dancing around while she shows off her gothic ensembles. However, it did garner a lot of attention, with over 64,000 likes and thousands of comments.

Many of those comments were from concerned internet users who aren’t big fans of her lifestyle, including the notion that she’s already made a name for herself as an up-and-coming hyperpop musician and that she has had several piercings that young teenagers typically don’t get.

“I think all of it is too much for a CHILD,” commented a TikTok user.

“This is so sad,” echoed a user, as another added, “Children need boundaries.”

One top comment addressed her piercings, which have sparked concern about potentially getting infected, writing, “Knee dermals are kinda crazy, North.”

“Terrible,” responded a user. “Growing up too fast.”
