Although comments were turned off on the TikToks that they posted, once a fan account reposted them, comments flew in, many of which were critical of West's look.

Kim Kardashian Got Candid About a Controversial Fashion Choice North West Made
Kim Kardashian said North West usually dresses 'like a tomboy.'
When appearing on the Call Her Daddy podcast recently, Kardashian got candid about a corset she allowed West to wear in Rome over the summer that people were critical of.

"She's usually a girl that dresses like a tomboy most of the time and she wanted to try something that her friends were wearing and went to the same place that they went to... and it's just like, okay, wait, maybe you can't wear that, you know?"
As for her blue hair, Kardashian said it makes her daughter "happy" and she "would never take that creativity away from her."

As RadarOnline.com reported, North's father, Kanye West, has been "bombarding" Kardashian "with abuse" over what he deems to be their daughter's style.
"It's turned really ugly – he's been sending her furious messages nonstop," a source divulged of Kanye's response to North wearing the aforementioned corset in Rome.
"He's been claiming that Kim's pushing North to grow up too quickly," one insider elaborated. "He's angry and saying she's letting their daughter be 'sexualized,' even though he's the same person who once encouraged Kim to wear provocative outfits when they were married."
Kardashian has remained unfazed by Kanye's ranting, another source confirmed.
"Kim's long past being shocked by Kanye's meltdowns," they said.
"These days, she just passes his nasty messages straight to her lawyer. She's stopped trying to argue with him – her focus is on North. She's determined not to let his chaos hurt their daughter's confidence."
