Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s 13-year-old daughter North debuted a set of nose and lip studs while attending the latest Paris Fashion Week.
North, who has embarked on her own music career, ignited a social media firestorm last year by revealing she had acquired a dermal finger piercing.
Kardashian was heaped with opprobrium for allowing her daughter to undergo the procedure given her tender age and the risks involved, including infection.
However North defiantly hit out at critics and this January appeared to reveal she had gotten two more dermal piercings applied to various fingernails.
In May she dropped a music video for her song #N0rth4evr in which she appeared to have two facial piercings that were in fact faux.
When she was spotted at the Vetements show in Paris this weekend, North had a set of spiked studs around her mouth as well as more jewelry on her nose, though it was unclear whether she was once again wearing stick-on pieces.
The Daily Mail has contacted Kardashian’s representative for comment.
North was glimpsed wearing the studs when she arrived at Vetements’ menswear extravaganza with her mother’s sometime stylist Danielle Levi.
She also proudly displayed the jewelry on her Instagram page, posting images of herself at night with a view of the lit-up Eiffel Tower behind her.
North first revealed in August 2025 that she had obtained a dermal piercing consisting of two small metal balls under a knuckle of her right hand middle finger.
Dermal piercings are distinct from other piercings in that a tiny anchor hooked under the skin is used to keep the jewelry in place.
As a result, they come with risks like keloid scarring, infection and – if improperly looked after – even rejection by the wearer’s body.
North’s mother, who has spoken often about being her primary guardian, was thus raked over the coals for allowing her to get a dermal piercing so young.
However North responded by posting a TikTok in December in which she mimed to the sound-byte: ‘Why are you crying? How old are you? Just pull it together,’ with a caption that read: ‘this is for everyone that’s mad over a finger piercing.’
Undeterred by the brickbats her mother was receiving, North then apparently unveiled two further dermal finger piercings on her Insta Stories in January.
Last month, in the music video for her first solo single #N0rth4evr, she was shown strolling through a graveyard with two stick-on piercings under one of her eyes and another one placed near the top of her nose.
Much of the video was grainy and choppy, in a nod to ‘found footage’ horror movies like The Blair Witch Project and Paranormal Activity.
Her follow-up single was a collaboration with a fellow ‘ nepo baby ‘ – Lil Novi, the 16-year-old son of rap legend Lil Wayne and R&B songstress Nivea.
Lil Wayne and Kanye worked on a number of songs together in the 2000s, including the 2007 release Barry Bonds and the 2008 single See You in My Nightmares.
Their children’s new effort, entitled MULA THA ROOT OF ALL EVIL, is a cacophonous piece of music with a frenetically edited music video to match.
North materializes in the middle of the video with blue hair, seemingly wearing a set of grillz as well as a pair of spiky gauntlets.
North is one of the four children Kardashian and West welcomed into the world together – the others being Saint, 10, Chicago, eight, and Psalm, seven.
