North West is already stealing her mom’s shoes! The 3-year-old daughter of Kim Kardashian West chose a pair of silver Balenciaga thigh-high boots that were about as tall as her to pose for an adorable Instagram snap.
Kimmy didn’t think North borrowing clothes from her “would happen this soon,” but at least the reality star knows that her daughter has good taste. Although that’s kind of inevitable, considering North has been wearing Givenchy, Celine, and Alexander Wang since she was a wee baby. She’s also been wearing Hermes, Charlotte Olympia, and Giuseppe Zanotti shoes before she learned to walk!
Check out North West taking playing dress up to a whole ‘nother level:
