West shared videos and photos of herself adorned with face tattoos and eye-catching nails. The young fashionista caused an online commotion with her style, which is something her mom has spoken about in recent interviews.

Inside a Private Jet: TikTok Chaos as North West Unveils Bold New Appearance

In the series of TikToks posted to the account she shares with her mom, West offered an unapologetic look at her edgy makeover — and she wasn’t alone.

Filmed aboard what appeared to be a private jet, one video shows her lip-syncing to a rap track with a group of friends, each girl wearing coordinated streetwear looks and dramatically styled hair.

West, sporting piercings, bright turquoise braids, and icy blue contact lenses, led the group in the clip, flashing a mouth full of blacked-out teeth and faux face tattoos, including stars and hearts. Her caption — “fake piercings and fake tatts 4 life” — made it clear the aesthetic was intentionally playful, not permanent.

Each girl in the crew brought her own twist to the theme, with turquoise, pink, and green braided hairstyles framing heavily accessorized outfits. Their nails were bold and glittering; their expressions confident, and their energy infectious.

Within hours, the videos sparked a frenzy online, with many followers zeroing in on one disturbing detail: West’s blackened smile. A wave of comments flooded in, questioning the dramatic coloring. “What is up with her mouth/teeth?” asked one viewer, while another echoed, “why [sic] did she blacken her teeth? 😬.”

Others joined in with similar sentiments, including, “What happened to her teeth?” and “What’s wrong with her teeth? 🦷.”

Some netizens expressed concern about the overall aesthetic, particularly given West’s age. “Face tattoos at 12?” questioned one person. Another took a more critical tone targeted at West’s parents, writing, “Not even joking, Kim is probably a worse influence on her than Kanye could ever be.”

Meanwhile, another observer drew a direct comparison to her famous father, simply stating, “She’s like her dad.” However, not all responses were disapproving. One spectator offered a nostalgic perspective, noting, “It’s temporary tattoo we all did this. Walking around with foil paper in our mouth talking bout grills 😂😂😂 she is being a kid [sic].”

‘She’s So Creative’: Kim Kardashian Gets Candid on Raising North West in the Spotlight

West’s style has been discussed by the public frequently, and all through the headlines about her fashion choices, Kardashian hasn’t stayed silent. The reality star opened up about her daughter during a candid October 15, 2025, appearance on Alexandra Cooper’s “Call Her Daddy” podcast.

When asked how the online chatter surrounding West has been affecting their family, Kardashian responded with a blend of vulnerability and maternal pride. “You know what? She’s so creative and she’s so amazing,” Kardashian said, describing West as “really mature in one sense.”

She recalled her daughter brushing off criticism about her bold style choices with confidence, and divulged how West once told her, “I saw this and, like, I don’t really care […] if someone says that they don’t like my blue hair […] I probably wouldn’t be hanging out with those people.”

But raising a pre-teen under a global spotlight? It’s not easy. “All the kids are like wearing the same things, but then my daughter tries to wear it, and then I’m like, ‘Okay, we’re never wearing that again,‘” noted Kardashian.

She added that West, who typically dresses more like a tomboy, simply wants to experiment and only wants to fit in with her friends — though the consequences of those choices play out in front of millions.

Still, Kardashian emphasized her daughter’s emotional intelligence and willingness to grow from experience. “She learns from that, and she sees it,” Kardashian shared, recalling how West often reevaluates her actions with humility, saying things like, “Oh, I don’t like how I said that […] Oh, you know what, Mom? Okay, you’re right.”

As a proud mother, Kardashian made it clear that she supports her daughter’s self-expression — within reason. “Babe, if you want blue hair, like it is what it is,” she said. “It makes her so happy, I would never take that creative [sic] away from her.”

Speaking more broadly, she urged the public to show understanding, especially toward single moms, adding, “I’m doing the best that I can, and my babies are good babies. So, I just urge everyone to like [sic] not be judgmental and to have grace on single moms tryna figure it all out with, like, you know, a pre-teen, it’s a lot. If you know, you know.”
