At just five years old, Kim Kardashian West’s daughter, North is already following in her parents’ footsteps and making headlines for her fashion sense.

The youngster’s latest headline-making moment came on Sunday after Kim, 38, shared a video of the her eldest child during an outdoor church service.

In the video, North dances while a choir performs ‘Lift Yourself’ a song written by her father, Kanye West.

Although the video was meant to showcase the young girl’s excitement during Sunday worship, it quickly sparked criticism over North’s bold lipstick.

“They need to stop putting makeup on that little girl in social settings,” one person commented.

Twitter user @deszirr24 chastised the famous family for allowing their daughter to wear makeup in public, writing, “They need to be taught some things are for adults. I know not everyone agrees but they need to learn to be comfortable in their skin before changing it in any way.”

Despite the backlash, plenty of the Kardashian Wests’ army of fans were quick to come to North’s defence.

“How they choose to raise their child is their concern,” one user wrote to the child’s critics.

“And it’s black lipstick. I went to church with all kinds of glitter and lipstick on my face no one batted an eye cause I was a child and I was living my best life. God ain’t paying no mind to what you have on the outside. He created all and every colour in clouding black.”

Another checked the family’s haters by simply saying, “The Bible said come as you are,” while others blamed internet trolls for taking out their feelings towards Kim and Kanye on their innocent daughter.

Y’all so damn brainwashed into thinking anything black ain’t good,” they said.
