Kim Kardashian Recreates North West’s Edgy Look

Kim Kardashian has surprised fans by recreating her daughter North West’s bold fashion style for Halloween, complete with turquoise-blue hair, black grills and gothic-inspired accessories.

Kardashian Transforms Into North West

The reality television star unveiled her Halloween transformation on Instagram on Tuesday, October 20, sharing photographs and videos under the caption “Halloween 2026”.

The 45-year-old closely imitated the distinctive appearance of her eldest daughter, 13, wearing a long turquoise-blue wig, dramatic eyelashes, faux facial piercings and black dental grills. She also showcased intricately decorated nails and statement jewellery.

Kardashian completed the look with a black graphic T-shirt layered over a black-and-white striped long-sleeved top, a pleated skirt and chunky sneakers. A skull-and-crossbones necklace added to the alternative aesthetic associated with North’s recent fashion choices.

She also copied several of her daughter’s poses, including one in which North covers part of her face with her hand.

The transformation was convincing enough to leave some social media users doing a double take, with several reacting to the resemblance between mother and daughter.

Khloé Kardashian Reacts

The Halloween costume quickly attracted attention from Kardashian’s family and fans, with her sister Khloé Kardashian among those commenting on the resemblance.

“Twins!!!!!!” Khloé wrote beneath the Instagram post.

Other social media users also praised Kim for recreating North’s appearance so closely, turning the costume into a talking point beyond the family’s Halloween celebrations.

North West’s Fashion Choices Spark Debate

Kardashian’s costume comes amid ongoing public discussion about North’s increasingly distinctive personal style. The teenager has experimented with blue hair, black grills, faux facial piercings and gothic-inspired outfits, attracting both praise and criticism online.

Some social media users have questioned whether the look is suitable for her age, while others have defended her freedom to experiment with fashion and express herself.

Earlier this month, North addressed criticism of her appearance during a TikTok livestream with her mother. Responding to comments describing her style as “demonic”, she urged people not to judge her based on how she dresses.

“Just because I like to dress this way, don’t judge a book by its cover,” she said.

Kim also weighed in during the livestream, suggesting that people sometimes make assumptions about North because of her black grills and piercings. North clarified that her facial piercings are not real.

Kim Defends Her Daughter’s Individuality

The SKIMS founder has previously spoken about allowing North to explore her personal style while maintaining boundaries as a parent.

During a conversation with Khloé on the Khloé in Wonder Land podcast in January, Kim pushed back against perceptions that she allows her eldest daughter to do whatever she wants.

She explained that North has plenty of rules, but fashion is one area in which she gives her daughter room to experiment and develop her own identity.

The discussion highlighted the challenges of raising children in the public eye, where personal choices can quickly attract intense scrutiny and widespread commentary.

A Playful Show of Support

By recreating North’s look for Halloween, Kim has offered a playful display of support for her daughter’s individual style.

The costume also provides a glimpse into their mother-daughter relationship as North continues to explore fashion and establish her identity while growing up in a high-profile family.

Although opinions about the teenager’s appearance remain divided online, Kim’s transformation shows her willingness to embrace the look that has become one of North’s most recognisable style choices.
