North West, the first daughter of Kim Kardashian aged 12 has sent the internet on a spin for her bold fashion choices after she was spotted with her mom, Kim in Rome.

North obviously got inspired by her aunt Kylie Jenner who was known for experimenting with blue hair in her 20s. North finally stepped out in blue hair which was tied in two sleek ponytails as she and her mom cruised in Rome and this has everyone talking.

In the first sighting, North wears a strapless corset top with a metallic pleated mini skirt with little lace detailing attached to it. She wears a chunky, combat boot that stops at her knees and for accessories, she styles a black handbag, a clear framed glass and minimal jewelry.
