North West has officially joined Instagram.
Last week, the 12-year-old shared her very first post on the platform. The photo itself was simple. A little blurry. Holiday lights glowing in the background. North stood in front of the camera throwing up two peace signs.
If the pose felt familiar, that’s because it was.
Fans quickly clocked that North was recreating one of her mom Kim Kardashian’s most recognizable looks — the casual peace sign pose she’s used for years. No announcement. No long caption. Just a quiet moment that still managed to feel very on brand.
North kept her caption short. “First post.”
In her first post, North wore a printed Balenciaga T-shirt, a mini skirt, and boots and her hair was pulled back into a sleek bun. The post already has garnered over 1M likes and counting.
Per North’s Instagram bio, the account is managed by her parents. North gained hundreds of thousands of followers almost right away, including Kim and her grandmother Kris Jenner. As of now, she isn’t following anyone back.
The next day, North posted again. In the latest post, North was featured covering her face with her hands, with her bright blue hair peeking out from under a fluffy hat. The caption was super cryptic: just a purple arrow pointing right with the word “soon” above it.
North is Kim and Kanye West’s oldest child. They also have Saint, Chicago, and Psalm together. North is no stranger to social media although this is her first personal account. She shares a TikTok with her mom, KimandNorth, where she’s often in dance videos, skits, and family moments with not only the SKIMS founder but with her siblings and friends as well.
Lately, North’s been having fun with her style, trying out some bold looks ranging from dermal piercings to bleached eyebrows. Yet, when people start critiquing her choices, she wasn’t afraid to clap back and does.
We cannot wait to see what she has in store for us next!
