Kim Kardashian dresses as her daughter North West for an early Halloween look

The costume

Kim Kardashian shared an early Halloween costume on Instagram on Tuesday, Oct. 20, in which she dressed as her daughter, North West, who is 13, according to Just Jared and Complex. ^{[1] [2]}

Just Jared described a long, straight turquoise wig modeled on North's recent bright blue hair, dramatic lashes, dark eye makeup, a black graphic shirt with black-and-white striped sleeves, chunky jewelry and long decorated nails. Kardashian posed holding a phone, which the outlet said mimicked North's social media videos. ^[1]

Complex reported that the post was a multi-photo carousel. It said face gems on Kardashian's cheekbones imitated North's dermal piercings, and that the outfit pairs a striped shirt with a skull-and-crossbones graphic tee, a spiked collar, spiked cuffs and jeweled nails. In one photo, Complex said, she copied North's pose of covering her mouth with one hand. ^[2]

Just Jared said the Instagram post included an embedded TikTok video. Neither outlet reported a public response from North to the costume in the coverage reviewed. ^{[1] [2]}

Just Jared credits the story to its Oct. 20 report and notes the post was shared on a Tuesday. Complex dated its article the same day. Both describe the look as an early Halloween costume, and neither says where or when the photos were taken beyond the Instagram post itself. ^{[1] [2]}

Background

Costumes are an established part of the family's October. Both outlets note that Kardashian and North dressed as Cher and Dionne from the film Clueless in 2023. Just Jared adds that North has previously dressed as her father, Kanye West, including as the bear from his Graduation album. ^{[1] [2]}

Complex quotes Kardashian as saying she is "proud" of North. Halloween is Saturday, Oct. 31, and neither outlet reported whether further family costumes are planned. ^[2]

Complex frames the costume as part of a mother-daughter tradition of Halloween looks, while Just Jared lists the earlier Clueless and Graduation-bear costumes as prior examples. Those earlier looks are the only precedents either outlet cites in the reporting reviewed here. ^{[1] [2]}
