North West, 13, Debuts New Thigh Studs at Nobu Malibu

3 articles · Updated · HOLA! USA · Jul 31

Summary

  • North West, 13, was photographed leaving Nobu Malibu with metallic studs above both knees, adding what appeared to be new thigh dermal piercings to her look.
  • The sighting fits her ongoing body-jewelry fixation: she paired the studs with electric blue hair, a graphic T-shirt, mini skirt and studded boots, while bandages on her forearm and marks on one hand were also visible.
  • Her piercing-inspired style has repeatedly drawn attention online, including May selfies that seemed to show wrist and hand dermals before a representative said the wrist detail was actually a sticker.
  • North first sparked debate over finger piercings in 2025 and has since defended the aesthetic herself, while Kim Kardashian and Ye have publicly backed her experimentation with fashion and body-modification looks.
