Kim Kardashian and Kanye “Ye” West’s 11-year-old daughter North West showcased her stunning princess Halloween costume. Dressed as Tiana Rogers, from Disney’s The Princess and the Frog, North’s look quickly went viral on social media. While many praised her costume, others slammed her dress for not being age-appropriate.
- North West's Halloween costume as Princess Tiana went viral, sparking debate.
- Critics argued the costume was inappropriate for an 11-year-old.
- Some praised the costume for its authenticity to Princess Tiana.
- The debate highlighted issues of over-sexualization and age-appropriateness.
Taking to her TikTok page, which she shares with her mom Kim, on Friday (November 1), North posted two videos in which she flaunted her Princess Tiana costume.
In the first video, which was viewed 20.5 million times, North seemingly introduced her friend group, which encompassed girls dressed in various Disney princesses, from Moana to Cinderella.
In the video, North revealed her own princess look as Tiana – sporting a green, strapless gown with a petal-like bodice, sparkling details, and floral accents at the waist.

The look was completed with a green, jeweled tiara and matching gloves, adding elegance and authenticity to Tiana Rogers’ portrayal.
In the second video, which has since amassed 35.1 million views, North presented once again her gorgeous green gown before focusing on her group of princess friends.
Both videos had their comment sections turned off; however, this didn’t stop the innocent moment from becoming a target of scrutiny and outrage.

Some critics labeled the outfit inappropriate due to the cleavage area, despite it being an exact replica of Princess Tiana’s iconic dress.

“Those who are sexualizing her and saying this is not appropriate are the ones who are disgusting looking at a child like that,” a netizen wrote. “She is wearing the same dress Tiana wears in The Princess and The Frog.”
An additional viewer shared: “Okay? That’s literally the dress Tiana wears- why are we looking there in the first place [?]
“Instead of focusing on where she’s developed, focus on her being dressed as a PRINCESS- DISNEY PRINCESS.”

Focusing on North’s “push-up corset,” Katie alarmed her viewers, saying that she “literally looks older than me, I’m 26.”
Another TikToker claimed that North had gone from being “10 to 16 in one year.”
As criticism continued to grow, other people jumped to the pre-teen’s defense, as a person on TikTok stated: “North West dressed as Princess Tiana for Halloween, she’s a real Princess Tiana, look so similar.”

Content creator “Hey Saba” exclaimed in a video: “She didn’t dress up as little Kim. She didn’t dress up as Ice Spice.
“Again, she dressed up as Princess Tiana. Saying that she looks like a teenager, when she’s literally 11 years old is literally insane.”
Saba continued: “I don’t understand why the first thing you look at when you look at a child’s body is their chest. Gross.”

Meanwhile, “Your Finest Pardon” expressed in a TikTok video: “If you’re one of the people out here talking about North West Halloween costume, I need you to check yourself immediately.”
The TikToker went on to criticize people making negative comments about an 11-year-old girl’s costume, saying that their reactions are rooted in the over-sexualization of young Black girls—a mindset she viewed as racist and inexcusable.

Thanks! Check out the results:
She does look 16 but she also makes an incredibly beautiful and accurate Tiana. I love it 🥰
Except they aren't "sexualizing" her because a floor-length Disney Princess gown is not sexual in any universe.
