North West, the eldest daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, has officially made her solo debut on Instagram.
When West’s newly created Instagram account surfaced on Friday, December 19, 2025, it didn’t escape the attention of eagle-eyed users.
North West, 12, posts her first post on Instagram, under the supervision of her parents, sparking buzz around her viral joint TikTok account with the handle @Kim & North.
At just 12 years old, North’s sudden entry onto the platform shocked the internet.
Much of the buzz focuses less on her famous parents and more on the long-running debate over whether teenagers her age should be on social media.

North West’s profile picture also made a statement, showing a high fashion style photo of herself with her now famous blue braids, hinting at her growing image as a young fashion lover.
North’s first Instagram post was a minimalist, artsy portrait, which was a clear departure from casual selfies.
In the image, North wore a streetwear-inspired outfit with a clean, sleek bun and flashed a quick peace sign.
