North West Claps Back at Critics Over Black Grills on IG Live
North West responds to backlash about her temporary black grills during an Instagram Live, turning a viral moment into a bold teen fashion statement.
North West, the 12-year-old daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, addressed reactions to her bold accessory during an Instagram Live on January 26. The livestream, which Kardashian briefly crashed, featured North showing off black grills as part of her growing fashion experiments. In response to a viewer questioning why her teeth appeared black, North calmly asked, "Why is my teeth black? Are we okay?" before adding that the look was temporary and that she could remove them.
North has been making headlines for bold fashion choices, including face jewelry, which may be faux piercings. She first debuted the black grills on TikTok in December, along with finger piercings seen on a Rome outing with Kardashian earlier in the year. When backlash hit, she posted a TikTok video addressing critics: "This is for everyone that's mad over a finger piercing."
Her parents are Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, and the family continues to be a focal point of pop culture chatter as North explores more of her style through social media.
