Mother-daughter duo Kim Kardashian and North West appeared to have a gala time on Christmas. On December 25, 2024, Kim released a TikTok video in which the two sang and danced to Ariana Grande’s Santa Tell Me.
Kim Kardashian wore a turtleneck dress with an animal-print design while North West adorned a black hem skirt, white corset, and black tie. She complimented her outfit with a cropped jacket and knee-high boots.
However, netizens became critical of North’s look and outfit as many started comparing her to Beyonce and Jay-Z’s daughter Blue Ivy Carter.
It must be noted that Blue Ivy Carter is 12 years old while North West is 11 which means that Kim Kardashian’s daughter is younger than Blue Ivy.
Blue Ivy was criticized for her outfit at Mufasa: The Lion King’s premiere on December 9, 2024. She wore a long golden strapless dress and posed for pictures with her parents. Many claimed her gown was not the right fit given her age while others accused her parents of ‘oversexualizing’ their daughter. Some of the reactions to Kim’s TikTok video are:
“I prefer north west videos instead of blue ivy videos,” a netizen commented on X.
“What if blue wore the same outfit,” a person shared.
“So there’s not discourse about North’s outfit? Just for Blue?” a social media user asked.
However, irrespective of their ages, both have been subject to online scrutiny owing to their outfits. A section of netizens have defended them complimenting their outfits. For example, an online user wrote:
“BOTH north and blue are rocking their outfits and enjoying themselves while some YALL project onto them. blue was rocking her princess gown and north is rocking this look with her jacket on for coverage! and the makeup?”
"Let’s stop conversations about children’s outfits in general. No need to try to start a brigade against north y’all being hurt like you are the parent is just peak parasocialism do like beyonce do and don’t scroll," another netizen opined.
"There should not be anyone commenting on either child bc it’s not their kids," an X user mentioned.
Social media users commented on the height difference between Kim Kardashian and North West
The visible height difference between Kim Kardashian and North West in the TikTok video also gained social media users' attention. The video initially started with North West humming to Ariana Grande’s lyrics while Kim sat. She then held her mother’s hands to join her in the performance.
Kim stood up and one could tell from the video that North appeared slightly taller than her mother even though she is just 11. An Instagram post mentioned:
“The mother-daughter duo showed off their moves in perfect sync, but what really caught everyone’s attention was how North, at just 10 years old, is already taller than her mom.”
On December 23, 2024, Kim Kardashian posted a cover video of the famous Santa Baby which featured Macaulay Culkin in a cameo appearance. Although the video threw netizens by surprise, many were impressed by Kim’s singing skills. However, this year’s Christmas was a bit different for the Kardashians.
In a Vogue interview, Kim Kardashian mentioned that her family decided to have a small celebration instead of a grand one owing to the ongoing construction work at their place. Despite that, she wanted to dress up for the intimate party and she appeared to keep her video as understood from the TikTok video.
