Kim Kardashian's daughter, North 'Nori' West, might soon outgrow her!
Her superstar mother startled fans when she posted some images featuring herself and the nine-year-old, and the latter looked taller than other children her age. The view soon birthed a conversation on social media, with many people cross-examining Kim about her daughter's actual age. The 42-year-old reality star shares North — and three other kids — with her ex-husband and renowned rapper Kanye West.
North West Nearly Towered Over Kim Kardashian In Their Latest Mother-Daughter Post
With just a few weeks left until her tenth birthday, North has reminded whoever cares for the information of her place in the Kardashian-West home. The oldest of Kim and Kanye's children looked significantly taller than her age when she appeared in the photos her mother posted on Instagram.
The mother-daughter donned an alternating matching outfit, with Kim in a sheer black crop top, leather pants, and leather gloves and North in a leather jacket top, oversized black jeans, and flat shoes. Both are accessorized with black boots, dark sunglasses, and large Chanel bags.
They kept their faces bare as Kim pouted and held a rigid pose while carrying her handbag in one hand and placing the other around her child. Additional pics showed the Skims founder frowning as her eldest child kissed her cheek and the tween making a call on a landline.
Even though she was wearing heels, her daughter appeared less than a head shorter than the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" alum. The sight caused many followers to express their thoughts about North soon surpassing Kim, with one follower writing, "truly your replacement."
"How is she only 9? What a babe," a second person commented, and a third claimed, "Adult before her time ?." A fourth wrote, "She's a mix of her parents in every way. ❤️ Is Kim really that short or Northie that tall???," and a fifth gushed, "She's so tall now, omg."
A few others advised the SKKY Partners co-founder not to allow her daughter "grow up too fast" just because she had grown taller. Yet another set of people was glad that the reality star and her baby girl were spending time together following Kim's previous disclosure that North only cared about new rap sensation Ice Spice — full name Isis Naija Gaston.
The Blast noted that the KKW Beauty creator uploaded a video that showed her and her then-three-year-old son, Psalm, snuggling before North interrupted them. The little girl had come to hand over the phone she was using to FaceTime with her mother's best friend and actress, Lala Anthony.
"When my daughter is face-timing my best friend as I try to do a video," Kim said as she grabbed the device from her child. She then asked her best friend, "What are you guys talking about," and the "Power" alum responded, "We're talking about Ice Spice." Upon hearing that, the KKW Fragrance curator declared, "Ice Spice, that's all North cares about."
The 'Ocean's 8' Cameo Star Disclosed The Connection Between North & Karl Lagerfeld
Earlier this month, the socialite informed her 355M followers of North's bond with the late German fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld. In an Instagram Story post, Kim uploaded multiple images captured during her pregnancy with North.
In one of the snaps, fans were treated to what appeared to be a blurry photo shoot scene, with Lagerfeld in the background seemingly running things from his position on a cabinet. He stood apart, his signature white hair styled in a ponytail and his eyes hidden behind thick dark shades.
Across the image, the "Kourtney and Kim Take New York" alum penned, "My 1st fashion shoot ever with North in my belly. I gave birth a few weeks after this." She also explained that Lagerfeld had captured the shots while Riccardo Tisci was the photoshoot's art director, and Carine Roitfeld was the stylist.
A follow-up update showed the shapewear entrepreneur wearing a black bra, jacket, and matching trousers, with a hand on her noticeable bump. The Fendi designer had no worries in the world as he snapped the "Disaster Movie" actress, who appeared to be posing in front of a large display of books in his studio.
