“She’s 11”: North West’s Princess Tiana Halloween Costume Sparks “Gross” Reactions About Her Body

ADVERTISEMENT

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.

Highlights
  • 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.

A TikToker reshared North’s most viewed Halloween clip, igniting divided opinions, as a TikTok user commented: “Some people blossom earlier [than] others it’s like yall are implying they gave her assets she didn’t already have like they’re sexualizing her when really you are cuz she looks beautiful.”

A person asked: “Why r u guys looking there ?”

While many praised her costume, others slammed her dress for not being age-appropriate

Someone else penned: “SHES 11??”

“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.”

An observer noted: “11?!?! I THOUGHT SHE WAS 17-20 WHAT”

A separate individual chimed in: “U tryna say I’m older than her?”

A woman who goes by “Katie Wednesday” on TikTok shared her shock over North’s age and what she deemed an inappropriate costume for an 11-year-old.

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.

“It’s not that serious, people are gonna be perverts, pedophiles, no matter what your child is wearing,” a woman who goes by the username “Sensitive Thug” exclaimed in a video.

She added: “Those types of people are interested in children. It doesn’t care. It doesn’t matter what they’re wearing.”

Sexualising your 11 year old sounds about right for that family.

Except they aren't "sexualizing" her because a floor-length Disney Princess gown is not sexual in any universe.

Well if you put your 11yo into the limelight you're going to attract unfavourable comments as well as downright creepy. I call this bad parenting.

It's not the costume that's the problem. The corset underneath designed to lift the tatas is so completely inappropriate for an 11 year old. And people saying you shouldn't be looking there are unrealistic. Any human's eye is automatically drawn there. Perv or not.

The push-up situation on her chest is a bit too much for me, but otherwise she looks beautiful. Would never realise she's just 11 though.

WTF is inappropriate about it? SHE’S COVERED UP. Are people reacting to the cost? What the hell is wrong with people? Would they have her it a bag on her head? Sure, she looks a LOT older than eleven, but what would you have her do about it? She can’t do anything about genetics.

She’s 11. She should look 11. She will have plenty of years being grossly ogled by males.

She is wearing a princess costume. If she were wearing hot pants and boots, it might be different. She is very pretty and is going to get prettier. This is the last year she or her friends will want to wear princess costumes, so let her have her moment.

I've found that with each generation, children are getting more and more beautiful and sophisticated-looking. I can guarantee you when I was 11 I was a total and complete geeky little kid.

How sad that she is going along the same path as her parents. Selling an image. By the age of twenty, she will have gone through God knows how many surgical enhancements like all the others in her family? But, what the heck, sexualising an 11 year old child is all the rage in certain social circles :-)

She looks beautiful, stop crushing her spirit! Every little girl wants to be a princess, she cannot help what her body looks like. She probably was so excited to share how pretty she looked in her costume, only to find people making stupid negative comments about her. Stop it.

That costume is amazing. I don't see an issue with it. People are getting worked up over nothing. Which does seem to be the norm for the internet.

The costume is perfectly fine. She had painted on large breasts, which I weirdly see mentioned no-where...? Children do idealise being an adult and having an adult body is part of that. Children won't be prepared for all sorts of disturbing adult reactions to emulating adults though, which is why I think maybe her parents shouldn't have posted this to social media. Putting your child out there to be viewed in all sorts of situations by anyone with internet access, is the problem here.

It has nothing to do with race. She 11 and wearing a corseted top. She doesn’t need a corseted top to look like Tiana and look pretty. That’s the point.

TIANA. IS NOT. 11 YEARS OLD. IN THE MOVIE. It's not 100% accurate, but she is estimated to be around 19. So this costume is miles away from being "accurate". Also: shaming the people who say the costume is not exactly age appropriate as "creeps" just because they speak up is disgusting.

Maybe "puritan lunatics" is better than "creeps." Children can't dress up as adults? Wtf are you talking about?
