North West Goes Bold Maximalist, Penelope Disick Opts Minimalist on NYC Outing — See Photos
North West and Penelope Disick stepped out in New York City this week, each showcasing their distinct sense of style, and proving that fashion truly runs in the Kardashian-Jenner family, even if it takes different forms.
North West, 12, leaned fully into Gen Z’s current love for bold, nostalgic streetwear. She wore a black graphic T-shirt paired with oversized camo Bermuda shorts, a trend that's making a major comeback among younger fashion fans. Her look was completed with black high-top sneakers and her new signature flair: electric blue hair styled in two braided ponytails with laid baby hairs.
The pop of vibrant color added a playful twist to the otherwise muted all-black color palette. North has always had her own unique style, and she also isn’t afraid to tell her mother, Kim Kardashian, what she thinks looks good and what doesn't. It's why she is slowly cementing her status as a budding style icon. North’s look reflects her ongoing commitment to maximalist fashion. It’s bold, expressive, and unapologetically unique.

In contrast, cousin Penelope Disick, 13, kept it cool and understated with a "model off-duty" vibe. She wore relaxed, baggy denim jeans and a beige off-the-shoulder top, giving a nod to minimalism and elevated basics. It’s also a part of the ongoing “cool girl” summer uniform we’re seeing from all our faves. With her hair pulled back and minimal accessories aside from a sleek Balenciaga bag, a style that North has also worn in the past, Penelope’s style felt effortless and very subtle, true to her mom Kourtney Kardashian’s aesthetic.
The pair, though close in age and the best of friends, continues to show that personal style can take wildly different paths. North often experiments with color, oversized silhouettes, and statement pieces, channeling creative energy and self-expression through fashion. Penelope, on the other hand, leans into a simplified, more neutral palette with classic shapes that prioritize comfort and elegance.
