North West, the 13-year-old daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, addressed public criticism of her alternative fashion sense during a recent TikTok Live appearance.

Her mother, Kim Kardashian, defended the teen's right to creative expression, noting that North has been interested in piercings and edgy aesthetics since early childhood. While supportive of most of her daughter's stylistic choices, Kardashian mentioned that there are still boundaries, such as refusing permission for a bridge piercing.
