A recent public appearance by a pre-teen celebrity child has reignited conversations about luxury fashion, parenting, and public scrutiny. The young girl was photographed in New York City wearing a complete, head-to-toe ensemble from the high-end designer label Balenciaga.
The outfit, estimated to cost several thousand dollars, included an oversized jersey, large shorts, platform clogs from a collaboration with Crocs, logo-emblazoned socks, a studded leather bag, and multiple pieces of jewelry. The look was later shared by the tween on her social media account.
The images quickly drew a mixed reaction online. Some commenters criticized the choice, suggesting the attire seemed overly mature for a 12-year-old and questioning the conspicuous display of wealth. Others referenced past controversies associated with the fashion house, hinting at a perceived inconsistency given previous public backlash the brand has faced.
This is not the first time the famous family’s fashion choices have been a topic of public discussion. The family has continued to wear items from this particular designer despite a widely publicized and controversial advertising campaign from the brand a few years prior, which led to significant public outcry and accusations of inappropriate imagery.
The child’s mother has previously spoken about her daughter’s strong personal style in interviews, praising her creativity and confidence. She described her daughter as having a unique fashion sense that is self-assured, evolving from more traditionally feminine looks to what she called a “tomboy-ish” aesthetic. The mother has also publicly dismissed criticism of her parenting decisions regarding her daughter’s style and self-expression on social media, calling such debates a “non-issue.”
Reports have indicated that the girl’s father has expressed disapproval in the past over some of her fashion choices, believing certain outfits to be too mature for her age. Sources have suggested there has been familial tension regarding the boundaries of her public appearance.
The incident highlights the ongoing scrutiny faced by children of celebrities, where everyday choices like clothing become subjects of widespread public debate, intersecting with larger conversations about consumerism, age-appropriate style, and parenting in the spotlight.
