As North West’s Christmas post went viral, reactions across social media quickly split into two camps.
Some critics questioned whether the post, which was shared on a parent-run account, crossed a line when it came to childhood and fame.
Comments like “nepotism is crazy” and “She needs her childhood… give me ONE example where something like this turned out well. I’ll wait” reflected concerns about celebrity kids growing up under the spotlight.

Others went further, invoking parental responsibility with remarks such as “Where’s Child Protective Services?” and “At some point, one has to think ‘youth endangerment’ criminal possibilities.”
At the same time, numerous netizens also pushed back against critics, praising North’s confidence and fashion-forward image.
Supporters also posted comments like “This is so iconic,” “Swag overload,” and “She is so cool.”

Others also looked ahead, writing, “Ugh just know she’s going to be amazing when she’s older” and “This is actually aesthetic.”

Despite her young age, North West has attracted a lot of criticism over her fashion and beauty choices.
Her mother, Kim Kardashian has defended her choices during an appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast. According to Kim, growing up in the public eye presents its own set of challenges.
“It’s really hard and it’s really interesting because all the kids are wearing the same things,” Kardashian said. “Unfortunately, we made that mistake in front of the whole world.”

North’s father, Kanye West, has been open about his dislike of his daughter’s social media activities, especially on platforms such as TikTok. “I just got off the phone with Kim, and I told her to stop antagonizing me with this TikTok thing.
“I said, ‘Never again.’ I am her father, I know y’all don’t respect fathers and the idea of family, and the media tries to promote something… but I said, ‘I am not allowing my daughter to be used by TikTok,” Kanye said.

Kim responded to Kanye’s comments at the time, stating that “As the parent who is the main provider and caregiver for our children, I am doing my best to protect our daughter while also allowing her to express her creativity in the medium that she wishes with adult supervision, because it brings her happiness.”

I so wish this 12-year-old would not have such easy access to international media channels. One of my students has now started to imitate her hair styles. (BTW, it doesn't look very becoming.)

Imitating hairstyles is a pretty benign thing to do. We've got much bigger things to worry about with kids.

None of the poll options even begin to sum it up. This is an irresponsibly disgusting shameless display of wealth and privilege from a TWELVE YEAR OLD on Christmas. Sure, get your kids nice stuff if you can afford it, but this is just gross... and to think of all the hungry or poor children that could have been fed or received gifts for the $22k they spent on shoes, and here she is reveling in it. Gross, *Gross* ***GROSS***. Based on what we see here there seems to be very little hope of her turning out to be anything remotely like a decent human being... because d**n sure neither of her parents are.

This has to be 1 of the most idiotic wastes of money I've ever seen on an adult much less a little girl.
