Kim Kardashian Defends North West’s Halloween TikTok Costume Amid Online Criticism

Kim Kardashian addressed social media backlash over her 12-year-old daughter North West’s Halloween TikTok videos posted October 23–24, where North dressed as viral TikTok star Jay Guapõ with blue braids, tattoos, and costume accessories. Kardashian emphasized the look was part of a planned family cosplay and not inappropriate styling. The incident reignited discussions about parental oversight, celebrity children’s social media exposure, and North’s evolving sense of identity and creative expression.

  • North dressed as TikTok creator Jay Guapõ for Halloween.
  • Videos posted October 23–24 sparked online debate.
  • Kim called backlash “a non-issue” in post comments.
  • Costume used temporary accessories, not permanent changes.
  • Previous criticism followed September Rome fashion photos.
  • Kim discussed parenting challenges on October 15 podcast.
  • North’s blue hair dates back to June 2025 birthday.
  • Kardashian highlighted North’s creativity and confidence.

Kim Kardashian responded to criticism of her 12-year-old daughter North West’s Halloween costume TikTok videos posted October 23-24. North dressed as viral TikTok personality Jay Guapõ with temporary tattoos, blue braids, faux septum piercing, colored contacts, and grillz, part of coordinated costumes with Kim and Kris Jenner.[1][2][3]

Kim commented on the post: “This is such a non-issue.” Social media users defended North, with one commenting: “Guys this IS 12. I tried the same looks at 12 I just didn’t have social media.”[4][5]

Halloween Context and Creative Inspiration

North introduced her family to Jay Guapõ’s sketch comedy content featuring viral personalities. This was coordinated group cosplay, not spontaneous fashion experimentation. The temporary accessories served as costume elements.[2][1]

Inside North’s Halloween Costume Look

North’s Halloween look included:

  • Bright blue box braids.
  • Star-shaped temporary tattoos under right eye.
  • Cursive “North” written in temporary ink on left cheek.
  • Faux septum piercing.
  • Electric blue contact lenses.
  • Black decorative grillz.
  • Henna tattoos on hands.
  • Diamond-studded chain necklace.
  • Black graphic tee, shorts, and false lashes.

All items were explicitly temporary.[5][1][4]

Earlier September Rome Incident (Separate Event)

In September 2025, North wore a black corset, miniskirt, and knee-high boots in Rome—separate from the August Venice Film Festival trip. She also wore a temporary dermal piercing on her middle finger. This sparked similar criticism from viewers.[6][7]

Timeline clarification:

  • August 22-28, 2025: Venice Film Festival (North’s first attendance, safety-pin dress).
  • September 2025: Rome trip (corset outfit, dermal piercing).
  • October 23-24, 2025: Halloween TikTok videos.

Kim’s Parenting Philosophy (Call Her Daddy Podcast, October 15)

Kim addressed both incidents on the Call Her Daddy podcast, explaining North prefers tomboy-style clothing over feminine styles her peers wear: “She was like, ‘This isn’t me. I just get that I love dressing a little bit more tomboy-ish.'”[4][5]

Kim acknowledged parenting challenges: “As a parent, I’m learning at the same time. Unfortunately, we made that mistake in front of the whole world.”[5][4]

On North’s self-awareness: “She teaches me a lot. She has a really unique style and puts me on to so many brands. It’s really fun to see someone be so creative and also know herself so much.”[7][4][5]

Kim noted North’s confidence about criticism: “She’s really mature…she’ll be like, ‘Mom, I saw this and I don’t really care that they don’t like my blue hair or this or that.'”[4][5]

The Origin of North’s Blue Hair Trend: June 2025

North’s electric blue hair started during her 12th birthday celebration in June 2025, not October. This represents consistent personal style preference, not recent experimentation.[8][7]

FAQ

Who are Jay Guapõ and other influencers that inspired North West's costume choices?

Jay Guapõ is a New York-based TikTok comedian known for sketch comedy, dancing, and character personas like Pink Cardigan and Chrissy G. North discovered his content through social media and introduced her family to it, inspiring the coordinated Halloween costumes.

What are the actual safety standards and regulations for temporary tattoos, contact lenses, and grillz marketed to children?

Temporary tattoos must use FDA-certified cosmetic-grade inks and comply with CPSC standards, lasting 3-7 days. Colored contact lenses require FDA prescriptions as medical devices to prevent eye infections. Decorative grillz are largely unregulated novelty items with aspiration risks for children under 3.

How do platforms like TikTok balance protecting child creators while allowing them to participate in modern forms of self-expression?

TikTok restricts features for minors but enforcement is inconsistent. As of October 2025, the EU cited TikTok for breaching transparency obligations and inadequate minors' data protection. Young social media creators lack formal safeguards regarding content rights and earnings compared to traditional child actors.
