<p id=”par-2_59″>Kim Kardashian recently launched her NikeSKIMS collaboration. The brand aims to redefine activewear for women by offering a comprehensive line of apparel, footwear, and accessories that prioritize both function and style. Kardashian spoke to Complex about the new brand while also delving into how <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/bethenny-frankel-defends-blue-ivy-carter-north-west-hate-kids-limits.html/”>her daughter, North West</a>, is already achieving fashion icon status at 12 years old. </p>
<p id=”par-3_47″>“She teaches me a lot,” Kardashian explained. “She has a really unique style; she puts me on to so many brands.” The mom noted that North “just loves what she loves, and it’s really fun to see someone be so creative and also know herself so much.”</p>
<p id=”par-4_50″>Kardashian noted that at one point, North tried to fit in with her friends by wearing “really girly outfits.” But the preteen ultimately realized that she loved dressing more “tomboy-ish” with T-shirts, jerseys, and jorts. “She realized quick, like, this isn’t me, and I love that for her,” Kardashian continued.</p>
<p id=”par-5_42″>The reality star noted that currently, North loves henna tattoos and “fake piercings” that are glued on with “gems.” As for the henna, North uses kits and will use her henna skills on anyone in Kardashian’s home who will allow it. </p>

<p id=”par-6_68″>North West recently made headlines with her bold fashion choice: a <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/north-west-shows-finger-piercing-fans-caution-risks.html/”>dermal piercing on her middle finger,</a> according to <a href=”https://people.com/kim-kardashian-criticized-for-north-wests-finger-piercing-11801975″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>People</a>. Spotted during a family trip to Rome in August 2025, the piercing, which lies flat against the skin, sparked widespread discussion online. Critics expressed concern over the appropriateness of such a procedure for a preteen, highlighting the potential risks associated with healing and the possibility of infection </p>
<p id=”par-7_16″>“That’s going to be impossible to heal …,” one fan on <a href=”https://www.reddit.com/r/KUWTKsnark/comments/1n0etmd/does_north_have_a_finger_piercing/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Reddit</a> noted of the piercing.</p>
<p id=”par-8_15″>Others noted that photos of the piercing already looked swollen and red, prompting concern. </p>
<p id=”par-9_61″>So, was the dermal piercing real? It’s difficult to say. While the photos of the piercing certainly looked convincing, Kim Kardashian’s recent comments about North wanting to experiment with fake piercings could very well indicate that the preteen never actually got her finger pierced. Fans have not appeared to comment on the piercing in recent photos, which could indicate its removal.</p>

<p id=”par-10_106″>In July 2022, Kim Kardashian and her daughter North West made a striking fashion statement at Paris Fashion Week by wearing matching nose ring chains during the Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2022/2023 show. According to <a href=”https://pagesix.com/2022/07/06/kim-kardashian-north-west-rock-matching-nose-rings-in-paris/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Page Six</a>, the duo sported silver nose rings connected to their earrings by delicate chains, a style reminiscent of the traditional Indian “nath” nose ring, which holds cultural significance in South Asian weddings and symbolizes marital status. North complemented her look with a black vest and skirt ensemble. And Kardashian donned a black dress. They both accessorized with matching oval sunglasses and pinstriped patterns, reflecting a coordinated mother-daughter aesthetic.</p>
<p id=”par-11_26″>While the piercings garnered attention, they were obviously fake. And three years prior, North also rocked a fake rose ring at her great-grandmother’s birthday party. </p>
<p id=”par-12_35″>Fans remain divided on whether Kardashian should allow her daughter to delve into fake piercings. While the critics continue to express their opinions, her supporters love that she allows her daughter to express herself. <a href=”https://people.com/parents/kim-kardashian-and-north-west-matching-nose-ring-chains-paris-fashion-week/?utm_source=chatgpt.com” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”></a></p>
